Paint problems of the 2009 Honda Civic

Clear coat paint peeling problem. The paint is cracking on the hood, both 1/4 panels, front pillars, trunk, and roof.

Takata recall was repaired 2017. Paint peeling more than Honda recall areas. Honda refuses to repaint. 8/2017 9/2017 in motion : driver side sun visor is broken and drops down and blocks my view out of the front window. I can not afford to replace.

Paint clear coat is coming off on doors, was coming off on trunk and top but was taken care of by recall. The rest developed later after the recall rhe car not looking good and I keep it up very good.

In July of 2015, the paint on my car slowly started chippingm now its full blown ridiculous and makes Honda cars look not worth the investment. I will stay away from purchasing with Honda from now on, though I love my vehicle. 2009 Honda Civic si.

The paint on the vehicle has been chipping off throughout various sections of the car¿s body, down to the undercoat. I purchased the vehicle new, and it has never been in any accidents, or been repainted for any reasons. The problem started occurring approximately two years ago. The nature of the issue is does not pertain to any of the conditions described in the note section of this vehicle information form. I approached Honda regarding the issue, but was told that this issue is not considered under the company¿s recall policy. Honda vehicles are well known for problems regarding paint, and Honda and several Honda owners are fully aware of such problems. I am looking for assistance to address and resolve this issue. Please help us consumers preserve our rights and get the protection we need against corporations, such as Honda, that profit from us and don¿t adequately stand by us by honoring the quality of their products and services.

In 2014 we received noticed of a recall on my 2009 Honda Civic, about the clear coat paint job. Took my vehicle to hughes Honda in warner robins, GA; they kept my vehicle for 3 weeks and only painted the spots that were fading. If the recall is for the entire car, why did the dealership not re-paint the entire car, since the car had a clear coat recall on it? I called the dealership a year after I took it to get repainted, and was told that the recall warranty was up and they could not do anything about it. This should have been resolved the first time I took it to the dealership. Now in 2018, the other half of my car is fading.

I own a 2009 Honda Civic ex-l which I take very good care of. My paint looks like a much older vehicle. I have never owned a vehicle with such terrible paint and clear coat. I have had the roof painted once already but the paint is peeling off the mirrors, the trunk is spotted with oxidation and the clear coat is peeling off. I will never buy another Honda b/c of the problems having it fixed. I will be telling everyone I know not to buy Honda!!!!! very very disappointed and disheartened with Honda products! I just want my car to look its age and not like a 40 yr old car! you are terrible to your clients by not fixing this problem without having to jump through hoops!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

Paint began deteriorating in 2013, as described in recall affecting many similar Civics, but not this one (VIN: 2hgfa16889h532410). Normal, routine driving & parking. It is going to begin rusting soon. Images attached.

Paint job and clear coat peeling on trunk, hood and top of car.

Paint on hood is fading in three spots. Car is well maintained and kept out of direct sunlight. Appears to be an issue with clearcoat.

When I first bought this car at david mcdavid Honda of irving (texas) in 2012, I noticed there was paint or clear coat peeling on the roof of the car. I didn't immediately think much of it, thought maybe it was a one-off problem, and asked the dealership to repaint it before I picked it up-- they did. Being a full-time student and working full time, I didn't notice that the clear coat was starting to peel from the back of the car and then forward. When I did notice the clear coat I did not have the money to get it repainted and it was not a priority. When it got even worse, I started doing more research and found that there was actually a paint real for Hondas for several models across a range of years. Mine fell into that range. I went to david mcdavid to ask them to repaint it and honor the warranty, but they refused since I was 3 months out of the warranty! what sucks is that I never received anything in the mail letting me know there was an existing recall for that. And even worse, the dealership knew about the issue and refused to help. I contacted Honda of north America and they told me that the only way I could get the paint job was through my dealership. So now I am stuck and my car looks like crap. I still do not have over 1k for a paint job and neither my dealership or Honda is helping.

2009 Honda Civic sedan ex well maintained. Paint and clear coat fading and peeling at 1/2012. I owned the car only 3 months upon onset of the issue. I have noted that this year has been stated to have these issues and will take to local Honda dealership with bodyshop to review and assist. This causes the car to look very old. Unable to polish or wax to halt the issue. Unsure why it began beyond what the forums have noted by other drivers per the paint and clear coat used by Honda was not lasting.

Paint is peeling, cracking and clouding over the entire vehicle. . . Almost imediately after purchase. Also the brakes failed during the same time and have had to be replaced multiple times, more often than what is normal.
