5 Paint problem of the 2017 Honda FIT

Failure Date: 10/29/2020

The paint is peeling off the roof of my 2017 Honda Fit. I have read up on this online and it seems to be a very common issue. Honda has already recalled the other white version of my car for the same issue, and I got a letter saying not to worry that doesn't apply to me. I have read from others experiences warrantying their Honda's for this issue that it's a one time fix and any further issues with paint are 100% coming out of the consumers pocket. Honda has stated that they will not provide me with a loaner car or rental car if I put my car in the shop to get this �fixed�. Their response is �that they can't control what their dealers provide�. Thank you for your assistance in this matter.

11 Paint problem of the 2010 Honda FIT

Failure Date: 03/15/2017

Paint is chalking and cracking off my hood and roof. Started noticing in March 2017. Asked Honda service center about it and after sending me to a paint specialist to get it looked at/paint job estimate and being told it looked exactly like the paint issues Honda civics are experiencing, Honda service center manager told me it was �normal wear and tear� and they would not help me.

12 Paint problem of the 2009 Honda FIT

Failure Date: 06/01/2016

My 2009 Honda sport is red. The paint is fading all over. . . . So much that it appears pink in many places. This is not representative of what Honda's do. I am hopeful that Honda will cover costs for repainting the vehicle.

13 Paint problem of the 2008 Honda FIT

Failure Date: 05/03/2016

Noticed red paint fading on roof, trunk, doors, etc. Understand Honda cheaped out on the primer and uv protection clear coat on their cars. I understand that they need to make this right and provide a free paint job to the affected customers and that includes me!.

14 Paint problem of the 2017 Honda FIT

Failure Date: 05/01/2016

Roof paint clear coat severally peeling and flaking. Color is blue.

15 Paint problem of the 2009 Honda FIT

Failure Date: 04/10/2009

The paint on my car has either not cured correctly at the factory, or is too soft. After driving the car for a few months the paint is chipping off and the car looks worse than my 7 year old Honda accord. This is not a safety concern, but will definitely cause the car to rust very soon. This should not happen after 6 months of driving. If you search online, this is not an isolated incident and almost all Fit owners are noticing that there is a serious issue with the paint on the car that will cause the body of the car to start to rust very quickly.
