Paint problems of the 2003 Honda Accord

I have just noticed the paint on my car is fading down to the body, this will cause rust and eventually a dangerous situation. I went online to find a solution, ive noticed there is a class action lawsuit possibly in the works (where we all know only the lawyers will have any benefits) yet the consumer, who were sold an inferior faulty product will have to settle for being ripped of by an "untouchable" corporation.

My Honda Accord 2003 has the clear coat of the paint coming off. The locations right now are the hood and the roof of the car. The car has been kept out of the sun under a carport. I've read where several people have had the same exact problem with the defective clear coat. I believe that Honda should repaint my car for free.

The paint or clear coating is peeling from roof, hood and trunk area of the car. Looks like crap. It keeps getting worse and worse.

Since the purchase i’ve experienced continual transmission problems. Upon speaking with the dealership I was assured all was fine. You can imagine my surprise when I received notice of the transmission recall (NHTSA 04v176000). Upon repair, in September 2004, I did not notice repair improvement, and continued to detect the rough grind of transmission shift and a whining sound. In 2009 I experienced a catastrophic transmission failure to which I had sought repair. In December 2010 I experienced another transmission failure. I have just now experienced my 3rd transmission failure, July 2011. My power steering pump had always had a faint whine, but Honda services never identified it as concerning. The problem progressively became worse until Honda finally suggested a repair, but informed me that the component was then out of warranty and would be a costly repair. I decided to delay repair until June 2011. Ac problems manifested in September 2005 and required replacement in April 2008. My center council clock and temperature display has been flickering, dimmed, and absent since 2009. The interlock stuck issue first materialized in 2008 and serviced in July 2010. My airbag warning light has been active since 2008 with an occasional but repetitive tcs alert; and my headlamp glass has been hazed since 2005. The paint deterioration is ridiculously embarrassing, the leather seating began showing wear 2 years in, my seatbelt doesn’t return to the original released position, head liner has water leak stains, cd player stopped working, exposed wiring is visible at the driver door hinge, i’ve gone through 3 batteries, countless tires, one cracked windshield, and I have always suffer from poor radio reception and occasional navigational signal roaming issues. In these times of thrift conscious fuel consumption, I utilize my nav tools to monitor my driving activity. I’m stunned to report I get a fuel economy of 24 mpg highway, not the 31 mpg as sticker reports.

Body paint on the Honda Accord is fading in patches across various areas of the vehicle. I was unsure of the cause of this issue until seeing photos online of other Honda vehicles from that same time period with similar damage. Websites blame the problem on Honda's primer/paint from the period when the cars were manufactured. I believe the carmaker should cover the cost of repairs for the body paint.

The paint began fading and peeling. Noticed on my Hondas that are the same make and model.

I've noticed over the last couple of years that the paint has faded. It seems like the clear coat has been removed. There's severe damage to the hood, roof, front fender, and the trunk. Possibly because the manufacture used poor quality paint.

Black paint began fading in spots on hood and fenders. Paint is now almost completely gone.

I wash the vehicle weekly and on my weekly wash I realized that the paint was peeling. I brought the car to my Honda dealership where they said they were not responsible. The car at the time was only 1 year old. Now there are various areas on the car where the paint is peeling.
