Accord 4-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 6,350 miles
The contact owns a 2008 Honda Accord coupe. The contact stated that the wheel rim on the vehicle which was manufactured by Honda was defective. The manufacturer uses a clear coat on their wheel rims which causes water to enter underneath, which has caused corrosion. The vehicle was inspected by the dealer and could not diagnose the failure, but claims that the contact applied chrome cleaner to the wheel rim which may have caused the failure. The manufacturer was contacted and offered no assistance. He then took the vehicle to a tire company to inspect the wheel rim and they informed him that they were defective and should be replaced. The vehicle has not been repaired for the wheel rims. The failure and current mileage was approximately 6,350. Updated 3/8/11 the consumer stated no cleaners or chemicals have been used on the rims. The consumer believed there was a defect with the rims. Updated 08/08/11
