Called Honda about the issue and the CSR guy told me not to believe everything I read on the internet, after I informed him that Honda has had this paint problem since 1994 and refuses to do anything about it. I have a 2008 Civic and 2008 Accord had 3 other Hondas in the past and will never purchase a Honda again. I work for a large Municipality and everyone I come in contact with will know about this issue. Nice going Honda, I really thought that I would be taken care of.

Took the car to the dealer last year they took pictures and said they would call, but I keep calling and they don't call back.

I have an 8 year old Honda Accord and I was not expecting to have something like this ever. The paint on my car started cracking and peeling. Very disappointed with Honda never thought that a car that is only 8 years old can have its paint in this condition.

After a snow fall I had to clear the snow from the hood and upon doing so the paint peeled off. A swatch of about 8 inches long and 3 and a half inches wide was left for me to stare at. I am also noticing the paint starting to peel away from where the hood meets the rear window. Definitely putting a crimp in my stylish looking vehicle.
Sincerely,

I keep my car washed and waxed and suddenly this week the paint in one spot on the hood, about the size of a silver dollar, just peeled off down to the metal. I thought it was where the rain had beaded up on the hood until the car dried and the paint was bubbling.

The car is just 11 years old and the paint is peeling in the back rear panels.
