2008 Honda Civic Structure

The paint is peeling off from the vehicle, exposing the body to rust and reduce the vehicle lifetime and durability significantly. When I contacted Honda about the issue, they told me it is a Paint defect from the manufacturing plant. They asked me to get a quote from the dealer to fix the issue, after getting the quote they denied the request saying it is outside the warranty period even when they agreed it is an issue occurred at the plant level. Please look into this and issue a recall.

While driving on the freeway the sun visor, from Ezzy (top selling sun visor replacement brand on Amazon) fell out of its holder onto my hands on the steering wheel and then onto my lap which caused me to swerve slightly. Another incident involving the passenger side sun visor happened when my passenger flipped down the visor and the plastic exploded everywhere and the visor split in two.

PAINT JOB PEELING

MY PROBLEM IS WITH MY ALMOST 11 YEAR OLD CAR. 2008 WITH ONLY 58,000. MILES. I'M A SENIOR WITH LIMITED INCOME,SO I CAN'T AFFORD TO HAVE IT PAINTED. LIVING HERE AMONG PEOPLE IN THE VILLAGES THAT HAVE AMPLE FUNDS MAKES ME FEEL LIKE THE ODD PERSON OUT OF PLACE.ANYTHING YOU CAN DO TO HELP WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. SINCERELY,[XXX]. NOT IN ACCIDENT INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *CC *TR

MY PAINT HAS BEEN FADING FOR ABOUT A YEAR NOW. EVERY TIME I BRING MY CAR TO HONDA THEY TELL ME THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO ABOUT IT. IT LOOKS TERRIBLE. MY CAR IS STILL IN VERY GOOD CONDITION, BUT THE FADED PAINT ALL OVER THE BODY OF THE CAR IS A COMPLETE EYE SORE. I WOULD LIKE TO KEEP THIS CAR FOR MANY MORE YEARS (EVEN WHEN I PURCHASE A NEW ONE)I SEE MANY MANY HONDA CIVICS FROM 2008 THAT LOOK THE SAME. I WANT TO BUY ANOTHER HONDA IN THE NEAR FUTURE, BUT BECAUSE OF THIS DEFECT I DON'T THINK I CAN. IT IS EMBARRASSING FOR ME, AND FOR HONDA.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT NOTICED PREMATURE RUST NEAR THE AREAS OF THE HOOD, ROOF, DRIVER SIDE DOOR, EXTERIOR REARVIEW MIRRORS, THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE FENDER BY THE HEADLIGHT, AND ALL ACROSS THE TRUNK. IN ADDITION, THERE WAS EXTENSIVE PAINT PEELING AND CRACKING. THE DEALER (RANDY KUEHL HONDA CARS, 4425 CENTER POINT RD NE, CEDAR RAPIDS, IA 52402, (319) 393-5700) WAS NOTIFIED AND STATED THAT THEY WOULD SEND PICTURES TO THE MANUFACTURER. THE CONTACT HAD NOT HEARD BACK FROM THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 62,000.

MY CAR PAINT AND CLEARCOAT STARTED FEELING OFF ON ROOF AND HOOD AND SPREADING ALL OVER BODY PARTS

2008 HONDA CIVIC COUPE. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO PAINT PEELING OFF ON ROOF OF VEHICLE. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE DID NOT BEGIN TO PEEL UNTIL AFTER TO RECALL EXPIRED. UPDATED 10/23/2017*JS

THE HOOD WAS REPAINTED DURING A RECALL A YEAR AFTER PURCHASE. LAST YEAR, WE SAW CLOUDY WHITE PATCHES ON THE TRUNK AND THE PAINT/COATING COMING OFF (THE CAR IS BLACK). NOW THERE ARE LARGE WHITE PATCHES ON THE TRUNK, HOOD, AND THERE IS PAINT PEELING UNDER ONE OF THE DOORS. IT IS SPREADING QUICKLY ACROSS EACH AREA.

I MOVED TO CALIFORNIA ALMOST 5 YEARS AGO AND AFTER 2 YEARS THE PAINT ON THE ROOF STARTED TO PEAL AND NOW THERE ARE BIG WHITE PEELING BLOTCHES ON THE ROOF AND ITS STARTING ON THE TRUNK.

AROUND EARLY 2013 I STARTED HAVING ISSUES WITH THE CLEAR COAT CRACKING AND CLOUDING UP ON SEVERAL AREAS OF THE CAR'S BODY. I ALMOST ALWAYS TAKE THE CAR TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE, AND I ASKED THEM ABOUT THIS A FEW DIFFERENT TIMES. THEY SAID I MIGHT BE WASHING THE CAR TOO MUCH AND THAT I SHOULD TRY NOT TO PARK IT IN THE SUN SO MUCH. THIS PROBLEM GOT WORSE AND WORSE OVER THE NEXT 24 MONTHS AND RIGHT NOW THE CAR LOOKS LIKE IT'S 25 YEARS OLD DUE TO HOW BAD THE PAINT LOOKS. I RECENTLY FOUND OUT THROUGH INTERNET RESEARCH THAT HONDA ISSUED A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN (CAMPAIGN # 14-034, ENTITLED: PAINT CHALKING, CRACKING, CLOUDING WARRANTY EXTENSION) THAT EXTENDED THE WARRANTY FOR THE PAINT. BUT I NEVER GOT ANYTHING IN THE MAIL FROM HONDA, AND THE DEALERSHIP PEOPLE HAD JUST KEPT SAYING THE PAINT PROBLEM WAS MY FAULT. WHEN I ASKED THE DEALERSHIP TO REPAIR THE PAINT, THEY SAID THE WARRANTY WAS EXPIRED AND THAT IT WAS TOO BAD FOR ME, SO SORRY.

THE PAINT ON THE HOOD AND TRUNK ARE PEELING OFF.

THE CLEAR COAT IS COMING OFF MY CAR. IT STARTED DOING THIS IN THE PAST YEAR. IT LOOKS HORRIBLE IT'S JUST ON THE TRUNK AND THE PANELS ON TOP OF THE SIDE WINDOWS. APPARENTLY THERE WAS A RECALL ( 14-034) BUT THIS HAS EXPIRED AND HONDA WILL NO LONGER COVER. I CALLED THE PREVIOUS OWNER OF THE CAR AND THEY SAID THEY NEVER RECEIVED ANYTHING FROM HONDA. MY CAR WOULD QUALIFY FOR THIS RECALL AND IT'S OBVIOUSLY CAUSED BY THEIR FAULTY PRIMER/PAINT MIX. PLEASE HELP.

PAINT IS CRACKING AND PEELING OFF ON BODY OF VEHICLE.

THE PAINT ON THE ROOF AND THE HOOD OF MY HONDA CIVIC STARTED PEELING OFF LAST WINTER AND IT'S GOTTEN REALLY BAD. I RANDOMLY FOUND OUT ABOUT A PAINT RECALL THAT HONDA HAD A FEW YEARS AGO AND CONTACTED HONDA ABOUT IT. CUSTOMER SERVICE TOLD ME THAT THEY CANNOT ASSIST ME BECAUSE THE RECALL IS CLOSED AS OF 2014 AND THEY CANNOT DO ANYTHING TO FIX THE PROBLEM WITH THE PAINT. I NEVER RECEIVED A RECALL REGARDING THE PROBLEM WITH HONDA'S FAULTY PAINT AT MY OLD OR NEW MAILING ADDRESS.

THE PAINT ON THE ROOF OF THE CAR HAS SEVERAL BASEBALL SIZE WHITE SPOTS THAT LOOK LIKE CLEAR COAT IS COMING OFF.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE SUN VISORS FRACTURED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR WAS REPLACED; HOWEVER, THE PASSENGER SIDE SUN VISOR WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 95,000.

SHEET METAL BENEATH THE REAR WINDOW SPLIT OPEN THE ENTIRE WIDTH OF THE GLASS RESULTING IN WATER LEAKING INTO THE CAR.

PAINT ISSUES - THE FRONT HOOD OF THE CAR, FRONT FENDER, AND FRONT SIDE FENDERS HAD TO BE REPAINTED DUE TO FAULTY CLEAR COAT ISSUES. THE ROOF HAS THE SAME ISSUE, BUT IS OUTSIDE OF THE WARRANTY REPAIR WINDOW, EVEN THOUGH THE ISSUE IS WITH THEIR CLEAR COAT AND NOT MY VEHICLE; MY VEHICLE IS WELL MAINTAINED AND WELL CARED FOR INCLUDING WASHING AND POLISHING. PICTURES OF THE ROOF ARE PROVIDED WITH NO FILTER OR ALTERATIONS TO THE PHOTOS; THE TRUNK HAS (KNOCK ON WOOD) YET TO SHOW ANY OF THESE ISSUES, BUT WAS ALSO PART OF THIS SAME FAILURE. I DO NOT HAVE ANY PICTURES OF THE HOOD, FRONT/SIDE FENDERS AS THOSE WERE REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY.

FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS, THE PAINT ON MY CAR'S FRONT FENDERS, HOOD AND ROOF HAS SLOWLY BEGUN TO FADE AND PEEL. I NOW HAVE 1/2 A DOZEN FAIRLY LARGE AREAS ON MY CAR WHERE THE PAINT HAS COMPLETELY FADED AWAY.

ON DOORS THE CLEAR COAT IS CHIPPING OFF AND CLOUDY. COLOR IS GALAXY GREY METALLIC (NH-701M-4)

I NOTICED PAINT WAS REALLY DETERIORATING ON MY WIFE'S CIVIC ON TOP HOOD AND TRUNK. I STARTED A WEB SEARCH ONLY TO FIND THAT THERE HAS BEEN A KNOWN PROBLEM FOR YEARS. I FOUND OUT THAT THERE WAS A HONDA CAMPAIGN TO CORRECT THE ISSUE BUT IT EXPIRED LAST YEAR. I CONTACTED LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. THEY DID TAKE PICTURES TO HOLD FOR RECORD. I ESCALATED TO HONDA AMERICA CUSTOMER SERVICE WHO GAVE ME FILE # 4452996 TO HAVE THE ISSUE REVIEWED. THE CUSTOMER SERVICE WAS HORRIBLE. MANY PHONE CALLS DIRECTLY TO VOICEMAIL WITHOUT RESPONSE FOR DAYS. I WAS TOLD BY RON L. TO GO AHEAD AND SCHEDULE THE SERVICE WITH LOCAL DEALERSHIP. I SAID, "DOES THIS MEAN THE PAINT JOB WILL BE COVERED, AND HE SAID EITHER PART OR ALL SHOULD BE COVERED. BEFORE I GET A CHANCE TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT, ANOTHER CS AGENT, TONY CALLED AND LEFT ME A MESSAGE STATING THAT I SHOULD CALL HIM RIGHT AWAY REGARDING MY FILE NUMBER. 2ND AGENT ALLED ME AND STATED THAT HIS FIELD REPRESENTATIVE WOULD BE AT THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP TO LOOK AT THE PICTURES AND MAKE A DECISION. I RECEIVE A CALL FROM TONY YESTERDAY TELLING ME THE CLAIM HAD BEEN DENIED. I ASKED HIM WHY AND HE TOLD ME HE HAD NO INFORMATION ON WHY IT WAS REJECTED AND TO GET IN CONTACT WITH THE LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP SERVICE MANAGER FOR MORE INFORMATION. THE PAINT IS DETERIORATING EXACTLY HOW THOSE COVERED BY THE CAMPAIGN WERE DETERIORATING. I CAN SEND PICTURES IF HELPFUL.

I WOULD LIKE TO REPORT A COMPLAINT WITH HONDA CORPORATION. THERE WAS A WARRANTY ISSUED FOR 2008 HONDA CIVICS THAT COVERED AN ISSUE WITH PAINT CHALKING, CRACKING, AND CLOUDING. I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF THE WARRANTY AND THEY CANNOT CONFIRM WHAT HOME ADDRESS THE WARRANTY NOTIFICATION WAS SENT TO....IF AT ALL.. LACK OF COMMUNICATION FROM HONDA CORPORATION IS A CLEAR GAP IN INTERNAL PROCESSES.

I NOTICED IN THE SPRING OF 2014 THAT THE PAINT ON THE ROOF OF THE CAR WAS FADING QUICKLY AND SIGNIFICANTLY. THEN, LAST MONTH (MARCH 2015,) I NOTICED THE CLEAR COAT IS CRACKED AND PEELING OFF COMPLETELY ON THE RIGHT REAR BUMPER AND THE TRUNK. THERE HAVE BEEN NO INCIDENTS TO WARRANT THIS TYPE OF DAMAGE, SO I SUSPECT IT'S A FACTORY DEFECT.

CLEAR COAT STARTING PEELING OFF OF THE ROOF ROUGHLY 6/2015 (ROUGHLY AT 70,000 MILES), TO DATE THE PROBLEM HAS SPREAD TO THE TRUNK AND STARTING ON THE SIDE PANELS. I HAVE REACHED OUT TO MY HONDA DEALERSHIP ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS AND WAS INFORMED THAT MY VIN WAS NOT A PART OF THE HONDA CLEAR COAT RECALL AND THAT I WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL REPAIRS. VEHICLE IS PARKED INDOORS AND HAS NOT BEEN EXPOSED TO ANY HAZARDOUS WEATHER CONDITIONS/ETC THAT WOULD CAUSE THIS PAINT ISSUE.
