Failure Date: 12/07/2017

I am having a on-going issue with paint peeling from my vehicle. Vann york Honda painted some areas on vehicle where paint was peeling in 2014, however, the problem was never resolved because the paint continues to peel from my vehicle. Now vann york is saying that I have to pay 30% towards repairs, I offered for them to waive my 30% of repair cost due to the fact that the problem with paint peeling from my vehicle was never resolved.

3 Paint problem

Failure Date: 07/24/2017

My car paint is beginning to peel and the dealer says since I am 7 days outside of the warranty, they will pay 35% of their estimate of 5600 to fix it. They will need 3 weeks to take care of it and will not pay for a loaner. They had my car a month ago for service and did not do a walk around which would have hopefully caught the problem while it was still covered. I am so upset with the dealership for missing such a big thing!.

Problem with the Honda Civic paint job. My 2006 I bought with 18000 miles already had the paint bubbling up below the clear coat in the roof and hood and trunk, just bought a 2010 new and just noticed two or three spots beginning to form already, will take it to the dealer so it can be documented that came like that from the factory, googled the problem and it seems to be prevalent on the Honda Civics.
