Original paint is peeling. Never knew or told about the extended warranty for paint until I brought the car in yesterday for a passenger airbag recall on the car which also I have to know about by looking up online since we weren't told about it. Dealership confirmed that they cant do anything about the car paint anymore since the extended warranty expired.
My car is dark pearl blue. The paint began peeling on trunk and rooftop of car around April 2017. It began as white chalky splotches and has grown. Today most of rooftop is exposed along with trunk and now tops of doors starting to peel. The reps at my dealership stated there isn't a recall for this paint. Everything I read states Honda used cheaper paint on certain year vehicles. They should be held accountable and provide owners with paint jobs. I don't understand why they only pulled in odyssey vehicles and not all vehicles with this issue.
The paint started to peel at only 65,000 miles, back in 2015. The car, at that point, was 8 years old. It peeled in literally just a few months time. It's now patchy on the hood, roof and trunk.
The clear coat and paint job is bubbling and getting ready to crack and expose the car to rust.
The paint is chipping and peeling all over the hood and sides of the front of the car. It is very ugly!.
The paint of the car is peeling off. From everywhere. This car is being parked in our driveway for last 4 ys. Before that it was parked in garage attached to the house. On the top it looks like it has some chemical reaction. On the bumper , hood and other places it looks like the color is peeling and it shows a white spot. This car is used ot drive only from home to work and barely long distance.
Early 2014 we approached Honda of columbia, the purchase point of this car, about the factory paint flaking and coning off. Honda says we have to have the car repainted and show them the reciept before they will help offer financial help. That costs us $4000+ out of our pocket and then they may subsidize the cost. This car misses the original recall for defective painting by a couple of weeks. Her car has been well kept but not garaged. Independent paint shops confirm that it is a fault w/ the original painting process. Nearly the whole top/flat surfaces of the car are in question: spoiler, roof, trunk, hood, fenders and all other horizontal surfaces are affected. The vertical portions are in acceptable shape. The local dealer Honda of columbia, s. C. Says this car doesn't fall into the factory recall criteria because it is an '07 and they only qualified up to '06. One of their service department reps assured us thay it should be on the recall list and that even the color was one listed along w/ the other car colors. Not Honda of columbia denies that the car has to be repainted before they will help pay, but now only offer $1000 to subsidize the cost and still wont tell me how to make a claim. They suggested I call Honda of America service folks and talk to them they have yet to answer a call. There is no answer of any kind so I am unable to leave a message. What should I do. . .
Rear tires tends to wear out faster due to design defect in upper controller arm. Drivers will be unaware of wore tread wear towards the body side posing a risk to loose control in some circumstances especially during wet conditions. In addition, value of the car depreciated due to paint fading and Honda knowingly denying any defect in the quality of the paint used as cost cutting tactic during 2007 early recession.
Driver's window moves up and down. I put window up, and it comes down by itself. Minor issue is clearcoat paint peeling off of bumper.
The paint on the roof of my 2007 Honda Civic start oxidizing and peeling away 2 years ago. At first it was just a small spot at the back of the roof and now it is manifesting to all over the roof. I received a recall for 2007 Civics for paint peeling and I brought my vehicle to my local dealership where I was told that my VIN number was not covered. I feel as Honda is most assuredly being deceitful with their customerbase and certainly not taking care of them as they should. I felt safe and confident purchasing a Honda just knowing they would stand behind their product and knew I would not have issues in the end. Silly me.
Premature paint fading on top of car front of moonroof and back of roof and growing.
The paint started peeling on the roof of my car, then went on to start on my hood. It has been quickly peeling more and more and looking worse and worse. Before I went to spend $600+ on a new paint job, I found out online that there are many others that have complained of the same exact thing happening to their Honda Civics. If this is a problem with the quality of Honda's paint, which is what most sources are saying, they should fix it for free. It's a 2007, this is not normal wear and tear.
Clear coat/paint is coming off on driver's side roof and driver's side window frame. Car has been kept up with washes only like suggested and Honda won't do anything about it.
The paint on my car is starting to fade on the roof of the car and cracking on the hood of the car.
Clear coat and paint are peeling from top of vehicle in front of, and behind the sunroof.
Paint on the roof and rails is getting oxidized(with multiple patches all over the roof) on my Honda Civic coupe 2007. I'm first owner of the car and I do not expect the paint to get oxidized with in 5 years. Honda needs to fix my car and the paint they use and also Honda should make deals responsible for this fix the paint oxidizing with 10 years of the car purchase.
Paint on the roof started fading and is getting worse as time goes by. Honda won't cover the paint on the roof under the warranty. They should fix the problem.
After about a year after purchasing my car, I noticed the paint started to appear rather dusky. A short time later, my paint started to peel! my car was only three years old at time of purchase- so peeling paint is obviously not owners fault. No sooner did my roof begin to peel heavily, the hood and side panels and now trunk are starting to peel excessively. It is so embarrassing, and so gross.
My 2007 Honda Civic's paint started webbing and peeling on the hood and roof over a year ago. Dealer said not covered under warranty but suggested an auto body shop I could go to. Thanks but no thanks. Am not spending over 1,000 dollars for an obvious defect in Honda's paint/primer. No more Honda's for me. My car which I take excellent care of looks horrible.
I have a 2007 blue Civic si sedan. The paint/clearcoat has begun to oxidize. Clear coat is flaking off all over the front fenders, hood, roof of car, a pillars, c pillars, spoiler and trunk. The side of the car have been ok so far. My car just missed the recall notice by a few months but has become worse every day. I wax my car 2-3 times a year and park in a garage at home and work. So the sun has minimal chance of ruining the paint. But the clear coat and paint are still coming off the car all over. It look horrible and now I am in need of a new paint job. Honda states there waiting for a new recall to come out and cover this but in tell then I have to take care of it. I am very disappointed with this issue as its a great car but now looks like crap and takes even more work to prevent rust. The paint issues began a year after my factory warranty expired. I did purchase this car new from a Honda dealer.
The paint is peeling off the car, all over the car which isn't normal. . . It is not good for the environment and looks terrible.
