Report: peeling white pearl paint on my Honda Civic. The car is 3 years old and already on the hood peeling off. I-car certified body shop looked at the car and immediately said factory defect upon testing. They have told me no primer for paint to adhere to. . . Will force me to repaint entire hood and front bumper. Honda has unjustifiably denied warranty coverage even with paper work proof from that shop (breach of warranty legally) though the car is under 36k miles. Will mention this is my second Honda suffering peeling paint after new. Previous Civic was a 2020 with paint peeling off mirrors, roof, and handles. Will mention my white color is listed in a lawsuit for this exact defect. Platinum white pearl paint code - 2023 hatchback Civic. Why this is a serious problem? rust concerns. Can cause structural issues if peeling is not addressed. It is a costly issue, not to mention severely damaging to car value. Will not be buying another Honda after this one due to similar defects. Feel like Honda is not being honest to people, and are deliberately concealing a defect at this point. I personally am angry, and justifiably so. Bought this car from allen Honda in college station as far as where with 26k miles new and was denied help. If Honda sees this complaint my message is simple. I've had enough, and will take my money elsewhere. Going to fix this myself with a professional who has seen this before so it never happens again.
Rear hatch holds water inside after rain.
Rear hatchback fills internally with water and only drains when tailgate is raised. Standing water and freeze/thaw cycle has potential to damage electrical components (taillights, rear camera, license plate light, rear defroster, rear wiper). This issue has been confirmed by Honda dealer, but they have been unable to fix it after 3 attempts.
Sticky steering when travelling above 25mph--both driving straight and in a turn. Must over-correct to compensate for sticky electronic steering. Trunk/hatch leaks water.
