Exterior paint is flaking off and is down past its clear coat. The most concentrated area this is occurring/has occurred is on the outside of the truck lid in addition to the outside roof of the car. I'm not sure if this is only occurring in certain colors or with certain paint Honda used but, fiji blue pearl is the color of my Civic and this has been an ongoing issue since around 2011 and now rust in beginning to appear in areas. Please advise.
Paint began peeling from sides of rear window, then from side windows on the rear. Now the roof paint is bubbling.
Paint started to fade in 2011 and this year it had progressed rapidly. The whole back half of the roof has faded to the metal and it's starting to on the trunk. Also the clear coat is flaking off on the rear bumper. I've investigated this matter multiple times and the local Honda dealership does nothing. So I did some research online and come to find put I'm not the only one. Hundreds of thousands of Honda owners have had the same exact problem. I just would like to get the paint corrected the way it was supposed to be done when I bought the car brand new 10 years ago. I thought Hondas were supposed to last a "lifetime" right? not six years.
Blue 2004 Honda Civic paint is peeling and blistering off the top of car. I have seen many other blue Honda's with this same problem. I have been calling Honda for months trying to get info and I was just told there is no recall on it. My area dealer told me they would give me a credit for $600 to paint the areas but I still have to pay $1000 out of my pocket.
Paint and clear coat peeling down to the metal. Read there is a class action lawsuit against Honda due to paint and clear coat on some models that include my Civic.
