I'm extremely frustrated at this point and don't really know where to go from here. I have a black 2000 Honda Accord EXL (leather). The clear coat is peeling off in several places on my car. It began with a small spot on the hood a few years ago and now is on my front quarter panel, passenger door, rear quarter panel, spoiler, roof, & trunk. It started off being very small and now has grown at a rapid speed. I use to be proud of my Honda and now embarrassed to drive it. I've gone through three layers at Honda to get the paint fixed and was told today that Honda will not take responsibility for the defected paint and is on me, the customer. I see I'm not the only customer of Honda who has encountered the same situation with the clear coat peeling so why will Honda not take responsibility for their crappy product? The price to correct the issue is so much lower than keeping a loyal customer....Honda should be ashamed of themselves. I will be writing a letter to their Terrance location complaining about the service I've received during this process as well as their product. This is my first Honda and I will not purchase another as this has been an unpleasant experience.

Clear coat is peeling off of the hood, right fender, part of door. This is also happening on both bumpers. This has been happening over the last several years and has really gotten to a point that I am embarrassed to be seen in the car. My car is garage kept and I cannot afford to get it repainted for the price of the bids I have gotten. I have been told it is a factory defeat but can't seem to get Honda to own up to the problem. Has anyone else had any luck in getting this problem taken care of by them. My car is the dark green color that is almost black. I have seen this on other Honda's the same color. My Honda only has 85,000 miles on it and looks awful.

My Honda Accord's hood is peeling drastically! I had it washed and afterwards noticed a small spot on the hood that looked like some sap had dripped on it. Upon closer inspection, i noticed it was a crack in the clear coat. It has since popped up in a couple different places on the hood and spread like wildfire. The car looks horrible now. I called a couple of body shops for quotes on repair and was told it would be around $1000. I was hoping to sell this car soon and hate to put that much money into it. Besides doing it myself, does anyone know a cheaper solution?

I bought my 2000 Honda Accord in December of 2006. A few months later, when I was getting ready to make a road trip I was putting luggage in the trunk and noticed a little bit of paint was starting to flake off. At first I thought I had been hit my another car, and the paint had been scratched off, but then I realized that there was no damage from another car hitting me. I then looked closer and realized the paint was starting to peel away from around my windows as well. It is very frustrating, and it seems that any people have had this same complaint. The car runs great, but just has this blasted paint defect. If anyone knows of any solutions or anything that has come out of this reoccurring problem I have seen with Honda Accord's please email me at bne0924@yahoo.com. Thanks

I have a dark green 2000 Honda Accord EX-V6 Coupe with the PEELING CLEAR COAT. It started along the sides of the roof and back across the trunk. It is spreading like a disease. I've complained to the dealership and Honda Motor Corp several times and no one will take responsibility. The dealership (Palm Harbor Honda) had a Honda Rep come out who said it was environmental damage!!??? Ok, so Honda's aren't made for Florida, then don't sell them here!!!! Honda Motor Corp. said they can't do anything until they have enough complaints, please call them at 800-999-1009 EVERY DAY!!!!! I have been waiting 4 days for a call back from Honda Motor Corp. for my most recent complaint. All over the internet there are complaints on 1998 - 2002 Honda's with bad peeling clear coat. An Auto Body shop said it is clearly a manufacturer defect and paint/clear coats should last AT LEAST 10 years. Its a total embarrassment. I have to take my car to the dealership for the dashboard lights and removing the key while in drive issue. I am putting signs on my car "Call 800-999-1009 and ask Honda what they are going to do when your car looks like this". I will never buy another Honda for the sheer fact they are not taking responsibility for this. It will cost them next to nothing to fix these cars, but to the individual, we're losing on resale value or the cost of repainting. It will hurt the individual much more than it will hurt them. And I know its an embarrassment driving around with a car looking like a beat up junker, but I suggest everyone leaves it until Honda's fixes it. GOOD LUCK!!!! I'm up for a class action lawsuit as well.
