Paint suddenly began peeling from the roof areas. The areas most in direct sunlight. Paint seems to be separating from the primer. My automotive repair facility has explained the proper method to repair will require removal of both the existing paint and primer down to bare metal. New properly matched paint and primer can then be applied. Apparently the existing primer and paint do not shrink and expand at the same rate as temperatures fluctuate here in southern California, thus causing paint / primer separation. My initial repair will require R & R of the paint of the entire roof area. Future paint / primer separation is expected to occur at the areas most exposed to sunlight. IE: engine hood, top of doors, rear door / hatch. The dealership where I purchased my Honda Odyssey has declined to assist with remedy, regardless of the purchase of an extended eight year warranty.

Noticed the paint starting to fall off the tailgate. took it to a local Dealer who took pictures and asked me to call Honda Canada for a "good will" repair as I was 4 months out of paint warranty. While waiting for Honda Canada to get back to me, I took the vehicle to 3 separate paint repair shops and was told the same thing 3 times. This problem started at the factory where the sealer/primer was still wet or defective at the time the paint was applied and did not adhere properly. It looks like there is no problem until the paint breaks or cracks. This is when the paint will start falling off. It started off as a 4 square inch patch and within 2 weeks has grown to 16 square inches in size and is now cracked on the other side of the tailgate. Honda Canada called back and said that they would cover 50% of the cost to refinish the tailgate. I said NOT good enough. After informing them about the paint problems as described from the repair shops and informing them that this is currently my 3rd Honda and one before that, (so 4 Honda vehicles) they changed their tune and will "look into this case further". I now await their call back.
