Yhe weatherproofing strips of all my windows are melting and coming off. One already did. I dont live in a very hot city. Im afraid it will allow water to leak in door and get to electronics and mess up window function. If window goes out you wouldnt be able to roll window down if an emergency arises which would be a major safety hazard. An a rank in the automotive industry

Abnormal cracked and peeling paint on the hood, roof and trunk. Honda is aware of this problem and issued an extension but has never provided a notification to owners affected by this known issue. I am now one year past due and only found out there was an issue when my local body shop advised me to call.

Multiple panels have been repainted on this car due to faulty clearcoat. The last panel has failed, and honda has only offered to pay for 50% of the repairs. This is a known manufacturer's defect, that honda hopes to shift to the consumer of their vehicles.

Large blotches of oxidized paint on roof & trunk that is progressing rapidly. My wife brought it to the dealer who initially said that they would "take care of it". When she returned later, a manager told her that we would have to pay $1,300 to have it repainted. I was very alarmed to find many consumers on the web with the identical issue.

My car paint is beginning to peel and the dealer says since i am 7 days outside of the warranty, they will pay 35% of their estimate of 5600 to fix it. They will need 3 weeks to take care of it and will not pay for a loaner. They had my car a month ago for service and did not do a walk around which would have hopefully caught the problem while it was still covered. I am so upset with the dealership for missing such…

The paint is coming off the trunk of the car in circular patches. There are also numerous spots on the front hood where the paint is fading. Back in the day your car would rust before the paint job would go bad! Very disappointed in the appearance of my car.

The sun visor on the driver side cracked and the seam, causing pieces to fall while the vehicle was in motion on a highway. The visor no longer remains in the proper position when not in use and obscures vision, particularly at night.

The motor mount on my 2010 honda civic needed to be replaced at approximately 45,000 miles. A quick search on the honda forums revealed many other people complaining about this issue, some of whom have had to replace their motor mount multiple times. This would appear to be a known weakness in the design which honda is not addressing for owners.

The paint began to fail and i contacted honda's website as directed to find all issues (recall and tsb - technical service bulletins) and there were no items. From 2015 on we would check. Then i found an article that said it was covered under an extended paint warranty. I was never contacted. I called honda and they declined to fix it saying that i purchased it used. They gave me a $7000 quote to fix the car. They…
