Certain areas of the roof and tailgate are peeling off, exposing bare metal. This is a one owner car that has been garage since new.

2 Body problem

Failure Date: 12/01/2019

The exterior black plastic garnish pillars (between the windows) has severely deformed from the heat of the sun. I have replaced them twice, as they have deformed and warped so much that it is causing friction on the window operation and prevents normal window opening and closing. The black plastic part has a flat black finish and becomes extremely hot from the direct sunlight or reflection off other windows of my house or other cars. They have warped so badly that I had to replaced them twice. The first time at the dealers expense and the second time at my expense. I have noted that the newer 2020 models have changed the pillars from a flat black finish to a highly reflective shiny black finish, that will reflect the light and not become as hot as the flat black soft plastic pillars that my vehicle has. Acura should recall these defective parts and replace them with a harder plastic that will not warp from the heat of the sun.
