Door handle chrome from interior handle is peeling and creates a cutting hazard to users. Both driver and passenger handles. Now starting in rear door handles. American Honda claims this is not a problem that has been reported previously and will not cover since warranty has expired.

Chrome paint is peeling from the interior door handles. It is very sharp. I've cut my finger on it in the past. Now that it's peeled off it does not cut but looks ugly. I'm going to investigate the price of replacing the parts but my car is 5 years old and I've lived with it this long.

The chrome paint is peeling from the interior door handles. It is very sharp, and has cut my son's finger. We will definitely have to replace them soon.

The driver and passenger interior door handles are shiny chrome painted. This chrome paint is now starting to chip and at times can cut a person and the paint tends to get stuck in a persons hand. I will soon have to just have them replaced.
