The paint on the vehicle has been chipping off throughout various sections of the car's body, down to the undercoat. I purchased the vehicle new, and it has never been in any accidents, or been repainted for any reasons. The problem started occurring approximately two years ago. The nature of the issue is does not pertain to any of the conditions described in the note section of this vehicle information form. I approached Honda regarding the issue, but was told that this issue is not considered under the company's recall policy. Honda vehicles are well known for problems regarding paint, and Honda and several Honda owners are fully aware of such problems. I am looking for assistance to address and resolve this issue. Please help us consumers preserve our rights and get the protection we need against corporations, such as Honda, that profit from us and don't adequately stand by us by honoring the quality of their products and services.

My Honda Civic was hit on the drivers side door by a Ford Ranger pickup truck. I was driving northbound on a city street in san luis obispo, ca and the truck was heading southbound and attempted to make a left hand turn across the lane that I was occupying when I was hit. The driver airbag in the truck deployed, but the side curtain airbag in my Civic did not deploy. I was injured by broken glass and impact of my left arm & shoulder against the driver door. The impact for was sufficient to bend both the A-pillar and B-pillar into the passenger compartment. I believe that the side curtain airbag in my Civic was defective. Note that a local Honda dealership offered to run a diagnostic test, but since the vehicle is drivable, and was towed to a car storage yard after the accident, the dealer was unable to inspect the vehicle.

I have owned my 2009 Honda Civic since July, 29th 2009, I have noticed multiple times that the body frame between the front windshield and the driverside window completely obstructs my view of things including pedestrians and vehicles, this is when I am directly looking. I feel the blind spot size is beyond dangerous and unacceptable, I have almost hit people numerous times because they are in just the right spot to be blocked of view this includes an entire vehicle!! I feel that every single one of these bodies styles should be recalled before someone is killed. I notice this every single time I make a left hand turn I have to move my head to each side of it to make sure there is no one or no object there.

In early August, the driver's door lock broke and you could not enter the door with a key. I had to pay for the charges to get the lock repaired and to match all the locks with the new key. This should not have happened.

The driver-side door handle on my 2009 Honda Civic LX broke. I am the original owner, the car has been well-maintained and there is no reason for the door handle to break at such an early stage.

I own a 2009 Honda Civic ex-L which I take very good care of. My paint looks like a much older vehicle. I have never owned a vehicle with such terrible paint and clear coat. I have had the roof painted once already but the paint is peeling off the mirrors, the trunk is spotted with oxidation and the clear coat is peeling off. I will never buy another Honda B/C of the problems having it fixed. I will be telling everyone I know not to buy Honda!!!!! very very disappointed and disheartened with Honda products! I just want my car to look its age and not like a 40 yr old car! you are terrible to your clients by not fixing this problem without having to jump through hoops!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was hit on the passenger side of the car by an SUV. The repairs were with genuine Honda parts but ever since then the front controls where the radio is has been extremely hot. Almost to the point I think I burn my hands to change the radio station. I think it may be hot enough to start a fire with melting the controls in the back. I have been told there is nothing that can be done or it will cost me a lot of money to diagnose it. I just see it as a safety issue to have the dash so hot it burns people. The passenger airbag did not deploy in the crash and possibly should have.

2009 Honda Civic sedan ex well maintained. Paint and clear coat fading and peeling at 1/2012. I owned the car only 3 months upon onset of the issue. I have noted that this year has been stated to have these issues and will take to local Honda dealership with bodyshop to review and assist. This causes the car to look very old. Unable to polish or wax to halt the issue. Unsure why it began beyond what the forums have noted by other drivers per the paint and clear coat used by Honda was not lasting.
