My 2002 paint is starting to come off the hood and top of car. Started a little spot here and there and is quickly taking off if larger spots. I have see the exact same complain on same car on this site. I would like hood and top of car repaired for no expense from Honda and would like information on this.

3 Paint problem

Failure Date: 06/03/2013

The paint is fading and peeling very badly on my 2002 Honda Civic. . . Almost to the point where the truck, roof, and other areas of my red vehicle are almost white!!! I know the car is old but I have a silver 2003 Lincoln navigator with double the miles on it and no paint issues whatsoever. From all the information available on the internet, there is a known issue with inferior quality paint jobs that Honda refuses to correct. I have washed and waxed the vehicle regularly and do not understand why the paint would fade and peel like it has. To top it off, the vehicle was kept in an inside storage facility for three years while I was stationed in japan. I really feel that Honda needs to stand by its products and restore the quality that their name was built upon.

4 Paint problem

Failure Date: 06/06/2012

Paint from car is peeling. At the beginning was small parts and I was told it is because of environment. . . . . Now the entire car is peeling. I know there has been same issues with other Honda cars, but my Civic 2002 has no recall. I will need to pay to cover this expense. Money I cannot afford and it is not our fault.
