The white paint on my 2009 honda accord is flaking off in big chunks all the way down to the beige under-layer. It started on the channels around my rear windshield. I then noticed spots on the trunk, drivers side door and roof. This is unacceptable! After consulting a local repair shop, it was determined that the paint is not adhering - manufacturer error!

I purchased my 2009 honda accord brand new from a honda dealership. The paint on my car is now peeling on the hood, roof, trunk, and around the back window. I took it to a honda dealer and they took pictures and at the same time tried telling me it appeared as if something got on the car. There's no clear coat left on the car. I'm so frustrated with honda. I take good care of my vehicles and have had hondas in the past. I'm completely disappointed in the way I've been treated by honda and their inability to help. I think this is my last and final honda.
