Paint problems of the 2018 Honda Accord

The clear coat on the hood and on the trim just below the hood is beginning to peel. As a result the paint is also beginning to chip.

I bought the car in February 2019, brand new. In July 2020 I noticed the paint peeling chipping. I contacted the dealer on 7/14/20, 7/29/20, 8/12/20. Was repeatedly blown off and was told they were contacting Honda of America. Honda claims that tree sap caused the paint to peel but the independent body shop I brought it to said that there would be other spots of tree sap and that the tree sap would be very difficult to remove from the car. They specifically stated that this is a bold faced lie. I filed a complaint with Honda of America and received a voicemail on 10/7/2020 stating that they were looking into it. I received another voicemail on 10/21/2020 stating that they were standing by the original Honda of America representative that the issue was caused by tree sap. The body shop, geist towing and recovery, stated that it is most likely a manufacturing defect and that since Honda is lying about the actual cause that they would recommend stripping the entire car and repainting. If they were honest only the sun facing surfaces may require repair.

Paint is chipping and peeling on hood, roof, doors and door handles. Car is parked in garage every night and in private parking space at work. Never under a tree or exposed to anything out of the ordinary.

Paint is peeling on the front bumper, trunk, hood, and door handles. Paint appears to be corroding on the door handle and rubs off even more when touched. The problem began with the door handles in 2019 and has now spreaded to other areas of the car. The vehicle was stationary, parked at my home when I noticed the issue. Both in 2019 and on today, 6/19/2020.

The paint is coming off in spots and is showing rust. It's always been kept in the garage and cleaned regularly. The spots are on the back trunk, back bumper, sides by the back doors, by the wheel wells in front and back.

My 2018 Honda is not driven often. It sits in my yard most of the time. I had it detailed a week ago only to find the paint was peeling on trunk, hood and roof. Horrified at this news I went to social media to see if this had been a problem with other Honda owners. On google I found an article that explained that the paint indeed was peeling. I followed the steps in the article. Took it to the Honda dealership where it was purchased. They of course except no responsibility nor would they read the article. Made them give me written documentation that they were excepting no responsibility. Tried for days to contact american Honda with absolutely no success. Now contacting you.

Paint chips and scratches easily. Clearcoat and paint started peeling. The slightest thing will scratch or chip the paint. Scratches on the hood and roof are pretty significantly ( really noticeably due to the car being black). Any little thing that touches the paint seems to damage it. The paint peeled off in multiple spots on the roos and the trunk. Now I can see the actual care metal. I boutgh this car (accord 2018 2. 0 t) in November 2018, and I started noticing all these issues couple months ago, but things got worse very quickly. Contacted dealer and the contacted Honda, but I received the expected answer that they can't do much as this form external environment. I used to have a c 300 black car that I used to park in the same place every day like my Honda and never had these issues.

Paint is peeling and coming off. It's like there is no clear coat.

Have automatic braking and lane assist driving. Brakes on its own with nothing in front. Happened twice. Dealer calls it a glitch. I call it very dangerous. Police officer was behind me when it happened last. Good thing he had good reflexes and the speed limit was only 45 mph I was in the center of my lane with no obstructions, no vehicles coming from the opposite direction. Turned off the program and haven't used it since. Service department said would have to keep car and test drive until it occurred. I will do this, but am afraid they will be keeping the car for awhile because it happens out of the blue. It's happened twice in a period of two months. I have had the car for four months. Another problem. . Paint is spotting on car like it was hit with acid. Had protective wax put on the week I purchased it. Vehicle has 3500 miles on it. Paint also shows tons of orange peel. I paid a lot for this model. Expected more.

Paint peeling & chipping - six months after I purchased my vehicle (Nov. 2018) the paint started chipping and peeling on the hood, top and trunk of the car. Every time the vehicle is washed, it gets worse, so I'm afraid to wash the vehicle. The spots are visible whether the vehicle is stationary or in motion. Bryan Honda and american Honda have been notified. Nothing was addressed until I reported it to diane wilson with eyewitness news troubleshooter on July 11, 2019. Now bryan Honda wants to communicate with me. I was told that the problem came from tree sap, bird droppings, and/or acid rain. Ridiculous! very disappointed with american Honda, bryan Honda and management. Will never but another Honda!.
