I own a 2004 Honda Accord that has experience major paint chipping. The problem occurs across the entire body of the car: the hood, the roof, and the trunk are all peeling away. While the car is 10 years old, the paint would not be described as "normal wear and tear. " Honda recently made an announcement about the paint problem under an extended warranty but only under specific VIN numbers. My issue is that my car clearly has a problem with the paint, a problem that was acknowledged by the company, but is not being amended by the company. I would just like to get it on record that there might be a problem with 2004 Honda Accords and the paint used on them. Thank you for your time.
The clear coat on my black exterior paint is peeling off on the door panels.
The exterior paint of entire care is peeling as it has been reported many times. Honda used very poor paint quality.
This is a really appalling situation regarding our Honda. The paint started peeling for no apparent reason and not it looks like a car with leprosy. . . I have already replaced the transmission to the tune of $3,500. 00 with no help from Honda after selling my 2001 Ford f-150 and now they say they don't have any paint problems. I beg to differ. The quote I have to have it re-painted is $2,500. 00. If Honda cares this little about their customer's experience, I will never own another one of these pieces of shit. . .
The paint started peeling around the beginning of 2012. It has gotten worse affecting almost 100% of the body of the car and has reduced its value drastically.
On January 2, 2004 we purchased a Honda Accord ex. The car is red in color. Total cost was $25,998. 50. We have enjoyed this car since we purchased it and about 6 months ago we made the decision to replace the timing belt. That was on April 8, 2011 as the mileage neared 100,000. Since that time (probably in may 2011) we started to notice some peeling on the front above the windshield and also some around the rear window. It has gotten worse with each passing day. Had we known this was going to happen we would not have replaced the timing belt. We now have a Honda in great mechanical condition that looks awful. It seems that Honda when contacted blames the environment for these problems even though we don't see the cars made by other manufacturers having complaints about a paint peeling issue. Honda has changed its paint process to save money and now the consumer is going to suffer the cost of repair or a car that looks like a junker. We are very upset that this was not a recall by Honda. There are so many Honda owners with this problem and they have documented these problems online.
