This is the first new car that I have ever owned and I have taken excellent care of it. The green paint in oxidizing on the hood and on the roof and I have been told that the only remedy is to re-paint the car. I can't afford that, at the time, and it so disappointing to finally have purchased a brand new vehicle and have this problem. Mechanically speaking, I have had no problems at all.

I was a big fan of Honda until last year when the paint started coming off of the doors(just below the window) of my black 2002 Honda Accord. The paint then continued to come off on the hood and now the roof (in front of the sunroof). I have white splotches everywhere. I took my care to the dealer and the area service manager was going to look at it but they called me and said there was no reason for me to bring it in because they couldn't do anything. I then contacted Honda Corporation and got a rep to call me back and he said he would check into the problem but that was over 2 months ago and I haven't heard anything. I have tried to contact him but he never answers but I continue to leave a message. My husband owned a 1984 Honda Accord and sold it in 1999 and the paint job looked better after 15 years then my car does now. I have lost faith in Honda and do not intend to buy another one unless they can help me with the paint problem.
