3 Paint problem of the 2014 Honda Odyssey

Failure Date: 11/14/2020

We have a pearl white Odyssey. The paint has peeled off 2 times, and we are told it is not covered! I have seen and heard of issues with this same paint on other Honda vehicles. Honda knows there is an issue with the paint on these vehicles! they should fix this instead of the customer, since they are aware of the issue since the beginning of manufacture of the vehicles that have this paint on them! now we have a car that we want to keep for a while but we need to keep spending funds to keep it looking nice, when Honda should be covering a known flaw. Also, the transmission has constant hesitation when doing regular driving. It like it cant find a gear.

4 Paint problem of the 2014 Honda Odyssey

Failure Date: 10/28/2020

Our paint is pealing off the roof between the windshield and moonroof. This is most likely going to be covered by Honda. We previously had pealing on our hood and had it repaired at our own cost. Honda refused to pay for it. Clearly they have a paint issue by the recall/warranty on the roof/back door paint, how would only those parts be affected? they need to repaint, and or reimburse all of the people affected.

18 Paint problem of the 2012 Honda Odyssey

Failure Date: 07/01/2017

Purchase brand new Honda Odyssey in 2012. Paint failure became visible in July 2017. Vehicle has never been wrecked nor abused. Claimant made attempts to go through protocol at Honda consumer channels. Received evaluation from reputable body shop used by my local Honda. The paint pealing is an adhesion problem occuring at manufacturing. Honda has only recognized the problem in 25 northern states (back door only, dark colors). I live in the south. Ironically, this Honda is produced in Lincoln, al. Honda refuses to acknowledge their error nor do they respect NHTSA. Vehicle used daily in transport of my family. Paint peeling to base coat roof and back panel. Pics attached. Cutting corners on paint work is unacceptable to this claimant. Honda operates in interstate commerce and has a duty and a contract with citizens that purchase their products.

21 Paint problem of the 2012 Honda Odyssey

Failure Date: 12/21/2016

Paint began peeling in two small spots on roof during a drive, and currently the entire front part of the roof is paint-free. Paint has recently begun peeling in a small spot behind the driver-side sliding door. I'm trying to avoid the $1,000+ repair cost by doing it myself, but as I prep the area (light sanding), large sheets of paint are continually peeling off. I'm sure the entire vehicle is defective.

22 Paint problem of the 2014 Honda Odyssey

Failure Date: 07/28/2016

The paint started peeling off in the area above the windshield in the 3rd year of ownership. The dealership (Honda of clear lake) did not consider that as warranty when the issue was pointed out to them. An independent quote for fixing the paint (pearl white) was well over $2000. Given that this is a relatively new car, Honda must own up the issue and do this paint related fix free of charge, on doing a search on Odyssey owners fora, I noted that there are similar issues with the model.

27 Paint problem of the 2003 Honda Odyssey

Failure Date: 04/21/2015

Honda issued a recall notice, service bulletin:08-031 " warranty extension: paint peeling on dark blue 2003-2005 Odysseys". I am attaching the service bulletin for your ref. My 2003 Honda Odyssey was affected and its blue color was peeling off of places. On Feb 24th 2010, colonial Honda of dartmouth, MA repainted the areas of car as per the bulletin: which were roof, hood, top half quarter panels, and top half fenders. My concern was that Honda chose to just paint the few areas and if other areas starts to peel off as well but I was told by colonial dartmouth dealer that to keep cost down, Honda is only willing to re-paint the affected areas and should any other be affected at a later point, those will be done at that point. With that said, I agreed and let the dealer do the work. Some time later I noticed the paint is peeling from other areas. It is exactly the same way it is peeling, like it did before and matches pictures shown in the bulletin attached. So, I went back to colonial Honda and they told me that I need to call Honda I tried to explain that they had promised to take care of this problem at a later point if peeling should occurs but now they are not honoring their word and looking the other way and also made derogatory remarks about my car, that " your car is 13 years old" !!! subsequently, I called Honda customer service and opened case# n012015-04-2100738. After about 30 min of keeping me on hold, Honda customer rep, matthew told me the same thing the dealer said, that it is outside of the warranty period. If Honda would have done the recall properly the 1st time, by painting the car on all areas I would not been having this issue. This is a recall that was not done in its entirety.

28 Paint problem of the 2004 Honda Odyssey

Failure Date: 04/01/2015

Paint began peeling sometime but not noticeably until a year ago. When serviced at a Honda dealer, they shrugged and said they didn't handle paint. The damage has increased greatly (see photos) and rust is beginning to be visible. The paint flakes off while I drive. I cannot sell the car in this shape. Honda's undercoat is blamed in research I have made. I have always trusted Honda, but am alarmed and unable to believe this is happening. Want to sell this car back to Honda for blue book price.

29 Paint problem of the 2005 Honda Odyssey

Failure Date: 03/06/2015

30 Paint problem of the 2008 Honda Odyssey

Failure Date: 01/01/2015

31 Paint problem of the 2010 Honda Odyssey

Failure Date: 06/11/2014

Now we've all had many cars and some do better than others. The Honda paint has to rank last on a long list of past paint jobs. It has literally peeled off the top of the car by the window and sunroof and has lost its clear coat so the paint just doesn't look good. When you ask them about it they responded we don't cover that . Honda, you make such a good car but cant get the paint right? c'mon. I see more white Honda vans driving down the road with the same problem as mine. This is awful we have now made a game out of it called I spy, who can find the white Honda Odyssey with the same paint peeling spots like ours. We do a lot of driving local and road trips. You would be amazed how many there are out there. Honda there is something you could do. Its embarrassing to dive this car around. But its a great running car with nothing wrong put the paint peeling. Not cool.

2007 Honda Odyssey. Consumer writes in regards to vehicle paint peeling.

35 Paint problem of the 2005 Honda Odyssey

Failure Date: 05/01/2014

Our 2005 Honda Odyssey lx is having massive paint peeling issues. There was an extended warranty offered for this problem a few years ago and has since expired, but at the time of the warranty we did not notice a problem. It now has 60% paint loss on the roof and patches as large as a hand on the body are peeling. Van is garage kept and well maintained. After contacting the Honda dealership where van was purchased, we were told there were no Honda reps in our area to inspect van and they don't expect one until next month or so. The service manager is aware of the issue but did not offer any suggestions other than to wait until the rep is available to inspect van. By the time the rep sees our van, we may have no paint left.
