body / paint problem
I have been complaining to my Honda dealer for 2 years about the paint problem on the car and they kept saying there was nothing they could do. I found it odd that the sealer would keep coming off like that. I bought this car from the Honda dealer on March 20 2010 and in the 4 years that we had it the paint was slowly getting bad and Honda kept saying it was just the weather. I knew it was some kind of recall problem but didn't know what to do or who to call. Then I saw it on the news last night and knew I was getting run around for the last 2 years. It looks awful and I would like to have the problem solved. Please tell me what my next step would be. I lease another Honda which is a 2014 Pilot which I love and have been leasing Honda's for 10 years. I hope you can help me because repainting the whole car will cost me a lot of money which I don't have. Thank you

I bought Honda for its so call quality. The paint is terrible, al lot of orange peel, dirt in paint, fish-eye and blotches in paint, plus paint on separate body parts does match;m Hard to believe a car could be factory painted with this poor a job. If I had noticed all of flaws I would not have bought car. Dealer says he will repaint car and Honda says this is the only solution they will do. I don't think a new car should need painting! And that Honda is producing an inferior product.

Washed car a few days after getting it home, found 95 paint blotches and poor panel fit. called dealer, he looked at it and wanted to repaint car, I refused. I called Honda, I wanted the car replaced. Filed Honda customer complaint, their factory man looked at it and said they would repaint it. I felt it was delivered to me in this condition and should be replaced with a new car. I have had car and not driven it, except for Honda to look at it for over 9 months. I filed a lawsuit on June 30 2007. All Honda has done is stall and hope I will give up. I am very disappointed in the way Honda has handled their problem and would not recommend anyone to buy a Honda product.

The clear coat is slowly wearing away and makes the car look like a junker. It seems a little too early considering the shape of the rest of the car. It started in a spot or two but now is spreading everywhere.
