The paint is peeling off and looks awful. It started on the bumper and has spread to the entire car.

The paint clear coat is horrible and years later it just looks so bad. Honda should take care of the issue. I also had an engine problem at 70,000 miles of the car burning oil. Honda admits that the 2002 engine cylinder wall start to egg shape and oil passes and it burns it off. Transmission. I had the transmission replaced at 12000 miles and again at 100,000 miles They know the trans had issues and never recalled it. I also replaced the engine at 100,000 mile with a jdm engine with 40,000 miles and it is working fine. The vtec accord was a disaster in 2002 and honda should be ashamed. The paint is pissing me off the most even after all the work I did to fix the car right.

The paint started flaking off and over the next couple of months started falling off in bigger sheets, until recently when large sections came off just rinsing it with water. Looks like a junker! My sister in law won't even let her son be seen in it.

Honda should recall the vehicles that they used this oxidizing crappy paint on and compensate drivers for the cost of the paint job to fix or pay for new paint jobs for these vehicles.

I'm embarrassed to drive the car with the paint problem.

I have owned the car since it was new. About two years ago the paint started fading and turning white in areas. It is like a cancer and growing. Honda should stand behind this paint and fix these cars. They are everywhere on the road and look awful.
