5 Paint problem

Failure Date: 03/15/2019

I bought a 2016 white hrv in Feb. Within a month a giant section of paint peeled right off the roof. I was just ready to pay for it. Took to a professional car painter and he said "id love to take your money, but this is a Honda defect and they really should fix it and its going to keep coming off the rest of the roof and other places". Then he said he knew that Honda was having paint peeling issues especially white cars. Additionally there are 2 very small sections of peeled paint on driver side door under the window. I took it to the local dealership and filed a claim but have yet to hear from corporate.
