Accord DX 2.4L V4

  • Automatic transmission
  • 150,000 miles

I noticed my front bumper was peeling and it looked really horrible. Little by little I started noticing a couple more parts of the car with the paint chipping. Right now my front bumper is all bad. My fender has a big white spot has no paint. And parts on roof and trunk.

Accord EX V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 100,000 miles

I notice that all Honda cars, no matter what the model is or name, the paint is peeling off. I seen other cars that are made by other make and model and they are much older than the Honda's and no paint is peeling off. There need to be a recall on this and also do a better job with paint so it can sustain the weather or what ever is causing the problem.

Paint is peeling all over car - started happening about 2 years ago, brought to Honda told wear and tear -- now just looked up problem on Website and see there is any issue. Trying to trade car in and no one wants its because of the extreme damage to body..
