In February, I noticed the roof seams on my 2018 Honda Accord are rusting and you can see the bare steel!!! My car is parked in the garage overnight, yet outside during the day at work. I take it to a collision expert and he gives me an outrageous cost to fix it and then says "just clean it up and use touch up paint." I use the Honda dealership obsidian blue pearl touch up paint to "repair paint" the roof seams. It's rough, but at least I can't see bare steel anymore. Of course, I forgot to take photos before I used touch up paint. :(
My friend then tells me about Technical Service Bulletins. I search and low and behold - my color Accord manufactured in the MD facility in 2017 are listed as problematic. MY EXACT CAR! I take it to Honda and they advise I see a specific collision expert and will likely cover repair. I make the appointment, he takes photos of questionable area and says he will be in touch in a few weeks... and it's been OVER 2 MONTHS!!! I have followed up multiple times with repair company and growing irritated with Honda as well. The longer Honda and this collision repair business waits, the longer my car can further deteriorate.
My first Honda purchase and overall, I love my car but I live in FL and rust is VERY REAL and Honda knows they have a problem, yet don't seem to fix it.
