Clear coat peeling off/paint cracking and looks like a creeping cancer on the hood, roof and trunk in particular on my burgundy colored vehicle and i see similar models with the exact same problem all over my town. The painting process used was obviously defective.

This is the second time that this vehicle causes an accident due to involuntary acceleration defect. I was coming to a complete stop to park the car when all of a sudden it accelerated on its own and sped into a building. First it hit an iron bench pushing it into the wall. The car missed hitting a young mother and her four little kids by mere seconds. My insurance company sent one of their own adjusters to inspect…

I purchased my honda accord ex with 7 miles on it, and noticed over a year, possibly longer, that the paint was peeling. When i asked the dealership about it they stated it was because of epa laws making the paints less effective. I also spent the extra money to have the car simonized to ensure the paint which was a waste of money.

The clear coat started falling off my 05 honda accord at around 105000 miles (around november of 2012). Honda refused to repaint the vehicle blaming the issue on the owner's poor care. However, it is clear the problem is not with the owner, but rather with the paint honda uses. This is evidenced by the class action lawsuit in which honda extended the paint warranty for seven years on their odysseys for darker colors…

Door lock remote fails to open locks. If i'm inside the car, sometimes the driver's door lock will be jammed down, and key will not open from outside. Nothing worked, i had to crawl over the console and exit by the passenger door. Definitely a safety issue, since it could happen in an emergency. *tr

Paint has deteriorated all over the vehicle. There are 'bald spots' where the metal is exposed. We have seen many other hondas in this area with the same problem. Honda has not responded to our request for information and/or assistance.
