Paint peeling ongoing. Estimate was $1,000. Clear coat recall according to CollisionMax but was not previously informed by dealer.

The clear coat is peeling on the hood, trunk lid and on the top around the sun roof. It looks really bad.

Very annoying and unsightly, I visited two body shops and both said the only option was to repaint the entire car which would cost a great deal of money.

Clear coat and paint coming off in multiple locations. Auto Body shop said many Hondas and Acuras have this problem as there is no UV protection in the defective product used at time of manufacture. and
American Honda is not willing to correct.

The clear coat is peeling and quickly getting worse. White blotches are appearing on the trunk, roof and under the widows on the doors. It's very hideous looking and stands out. It's really ugly and really ticks me off. It would be a beautiful car without those hideous blotchy white spots on it.
Update from Oct 31, 2014: The only option I really seem to have is to repaint it, and for me that's not a cheap fix.

My car looks awful, patches of disappearing paint. Inside is like new, very frustrated on how awful the outside looks. This should not be happening to a luxury car.
