2010 Honda Civic Body & structure Problems

The paint on this blue Honda Civic 2010 has been wearing away for years. There’s chips of paint missing on the hood. There is paint wear on the roof in two wide strips, on the trunk all over and the fenders. Also, the roof, when washed by auto carwash, buckles in when being dried so you can tell metal is thin. There’s definitely a defect in these civics I see them all over the place and every blue one almost has worn paint just like mine! Honda had to have done something wrong with these paint jobs, they should repaint them for free!

Paint has been peeling for at least 3 years and body shop told me Honda has major issues with paint on many years of vehicles. My vehicle has been serviced many times at the dealer where was purchased and no one, not dealer or Honda themselves have notified me of such re-call or warranty of this particular issue.

UNKNOWN The paint on the top of the car and the trunk has peeled off and creates condition for rusting of the metal parts. This in time jeopardies the structural integrity of the car especially in accidents. I have see description of number of Honda Civics with this problem.

YHE WEATHERPROOFING STRIPS OF ALL MY WINDOWS ARE MELTING AND COMING OFF. ONE ALREADY DID. I DONT LIVE IN A VERY HOT CITY. IM AFRAID IT WILL ALLOW WATER TO LEAK IN DOOR AND GET TO ELECTRONICS AND MESS UP WINDOW FUNCTION. IF WINDOW GOES OUT YOU WOULDNT BE ABLE TO ROLL WINDOW DOWN IF AN EMERGENCY ARISES WHICH WOULD BE A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD. AN A RANK IN THE AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY

THE PAINT BEGAN TO FAIL AND I CONTACTED HONDA'S WEBSITE AS DIRECTED TO FIND ALL ISSUES (RECALL AND TSB - TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS) AND THERE WERE NO ITEMS. FROM 2015 ON WE WOULD CHECK. THEN I FOUND AN ARTICLE THAT SAID IT WAS COVERED UNDER AN EXTENDED PAINT WARRANTY. I WAS NEVER CONTACTED. I CALLED HONDA AND THEY DECLINED TO FIX IT SAYING THAT I PURCHASED IT USED. THEY GAVE ME A $7000 QUOTE TO FIX THE CAR. THEY SAID BECAUSE I BOUGHT IT USED, THEY DID NOT HAVE TO CONTACT ME. THE ENTIRE CAR HAS CLEARCOAT FAILURE LEADING TO PAINT FAILURE. THE CAR HAS BEEN MAINTAINED REGULARLY, GARAGE KEPT AND WASHED / WAXED PER RECOMMENDATIONS. THE EXPERTS AND HONDA HAVE SAID THAT THIS IS A MANUFACTURING FAILURE BUT THEY DID NOT FEEL THAT THEY HAD TO TELL ALL OWNERS.
