I called the dealer about the paint coming off. I was still under warranty at the time of the problem. The dealer told me it wasn't covered under my warranty....what a crock. I'm angry about this because it's not from abuse to my car. I take very good care of my car and could understand if this was occurring because of neglect on my part. It is happening to all Hondas made around the same time.I know from personal experience I've seen many other cars around town with the same problem....most WAY worse than mine. Mine is just a little on the door but others...it's taking over their cars!!!! When I asked the dealer about it I mentioned that many other people were obviously having issues with their clear coat as well. He said that it was a defect in the clear coat but Honda wouldn't pay for it...They are admitting the problem and just ignoring it. That's nice Honda. If you make a product and it is defective ...just like my transmission that you DID pay for only because I was still under warranty, just like my SRS light that WON'T go off and you WON'T pay for and now this....and this is the same car people!!! I have become VERY DISAPPOINTED with Hondas. I bragged so much about my '91 Accord and loved it so much that when I wanted a new car of course I went with another Honda because I was so happy with my previous car but now I'm just REALLY disappointed HONDA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
