Clear coat is peeling off car on roof and front above both head lights
The paint started to peel at only 65,000 miles, back in 2015. The car, at that point, was 8 years old. It peeled in literally just a few months time. It's now patchy on the hood, roof and trunk.
The federal safety agency recall number: 07v‑399 mfr campaign id: q56 campaign description: '06-'07 hcm civic rear bearing recall date: 08/30/2007 recall status: 17 character VIN required summary: on certain vehicles, the wheel speed sensor housing uses an o-ring seal to prevent leakage to or from the wheel bearing. If assembled improperly, the o-ring may not seal properly allowing water to enter the wheel bearing and eventually cause damage to the bearing, especially in areas where use of road salt is prevalent. If the driver continues to drive with this condition it is possible for the wheel bearing to become loose, which could cause the bearing to fail. Safety risk: this could cause a wheel to fall off of the vehicle, possibly resulting in a crash. Remedy: dealers will inspect the rear ABS sensors and wheel bearings for damaged parts and replace them free of charge. The recall began on september 25, 2007. Owners may contact honda at 1‑800‑999‑1009.

I have a 2007 blue civic si sedan. The paint/clearcoat has begun to oxidize. Clear coat is flaking off all over the front fenders, hood, roof of car, a pillars, c pillars, spoiler and trunk. The side of the car have been ok so far. My car just missed the recall notice by a few months but has become worse every day. I wax my car 2-3 times a year and park in a garage at home and work. So the sun has minimal chance of ruining the paint. But the clear coat and paint are still coming off the car all over. It look horrible and now I am in need of a new paint job. Honda states there waiting for a new recall to come out and cover this but in tell then I have to take care of it. I am very disappointed with this issue as its a great car but now looks like crap and takes even more work to prevent rust. The paint issues began a year after my factory warranty expired. I did purchase this car new from a honda dealer.
The paint is chipping and peeling all over the hood and sides of the front of the car. It is very ugly!
The paint on the roof of my 2007 honda civic start oxidizing and peeling away 2 years ago. At first it was just a small spot at the back of the roof and now it is manifesting to all over the roof. I received a recall for 2007 civics for paint peeling and I brought my vehicle to my local dealership where I was told that my VIN number was not covered. I feel as honda is most assuredly being deceitful with their customerbase and certainly not taking care of them as they should. I felt safe and confident purchasing a honda just knowing they would stand behind their product and knew I would not have issues in the end. Silly me.
The doors do not stay open like every car usually does when they are opened. This causes a problem when loading and unloading car seats, people, groceries, etc. When the doors are opened, they automatically close back up. I'm concerned because the door, (when it closes by it's self,) hits a lot people in the back that expecting the door to stay open when they enter the car. There is also risk of it slamming a persons finger. I get many complaints from my passengers.
The clear coat and paint job is bubbling and getting ready to crack and expose the car to rust.
Early 2014 we approached honda of columbia, the purchase point of this car, about the factory paint flaking and coming off. Honda says we have to have the car repainted and show them the receipt before they will help offer financial help. That costs us $4000+ out of our pocket and then they may subsidize the cost. This car misses the original recall for defective painting by a couple of weeks. Her car has been well kept but not garaged. Independent paint shops confirm that it is a fault w/ the original painting process. Nearly the whole top/flat surfaces of the car are in question: spoiler, roof, trunk, hood, fenders and all other horizontal surfaces are affected. The vertical portions are in acceptable shape. The local dealer honda of columbia, s.c. Says this car doesn't fall into the factory recall criteria because it is an '07 and they only qualified up to '06. One of their service department reps assured us they it should be on the recall list and that even the color was one listed along w/ the other car colors. Not honda of columbia denies that the car has to be repainted before they will help pay, but now only offer $1000 to subsidize the cost and still wont tell me how to make a claim. They suggested I call honda of america service folks and talk to them they have yet to answer a call. There is no answer of any kind so I am unable to leave a message. What should I do...
The paint on the roof of my car is hazing and the clear coat is peeling. The hood of my car also has white spots. Honda garage in moon twp., pa will only pay half of the cost to paint the roof of my car. They said there was a "goodwill recall" that ended in sept 2014, but I never received this.
This civic is galaxy grey. The roof and trunk paint has begun to cloud, fade, crack, and peel. While not a safety issue, it will affect the resale value of the car.
I was told by a friend that she got her civic painted because of a recall. I bought my car at the honda dealer in killeen texas, but I called my local greg may honda in waco tx service department. I told them I never received any notice stating there was a recall, and someone had told me about it. I was having the exact color issues with pealing, cloudy color on my roof, and a few other panels on my car. They told me that there was a recall but its past due now, and I basically will have to pay out of pocket for this. I am having my car roof painted this weekend, and will have to do the rest as I can afford it. What I don't understand is, why should I have to pay for a recall that honda said was happening if you never sent a notification to me.??? I haven't been online here since I paid my car off, I didn't realize it would have recalls etc on here. I will keep watch now that I know. I love my hondas this is my second civic I also had an accord. Can you do anything for me? I have photo's of my car with the damage if you need proof. Thank you for your time and consideration regarding the above matter.
Driver's window moves up and down. I put window up, and it comes down by itself. Minor issue is clearcoat paint peeling off of bumper.
After about a year after purchasing my car, I noticed the paint started to appear rather dusky. A short time later, my paint started to peel! My car was only three years old at time of purchase- so peeling paint is obviously not owners fault. No sooner did my roof begin to peel heavily, the hood and side panels and now trunk are starting to peel excessively. It is so embarrassing, and so gross.
Opened our trunk recently and water poured into the trunk from the trunk door when we lifted it. Keeps happening every time after a rainy day (which is alot in florida). Now our trunk is smelly, moldy and damp. We cannot put our groceries, purse, suitcases, etc into the trunk or else they will get wet. It smells so bad in the cabin area that it is difficult to breathe and you have to drive with the windows down which is difficult with my allergies. The things we kept in the trunk like the jack are now rusted and the bag where I kept my jumper cables is moldy. Difficult to use the car now since we cannot put anything into it safely and cannot breathe in the cabin area.
The paint started peeling on the roof of my car, then went on to start on my hood. It has been quickly peeling more and more and looking worse and worse. Before I went to spend $600+ on a new paint job, I found out online that there are many others that have complained of the same exact thing happening to their honda civics. If this is a problem with the quality of honda's paint, which is what most sources are saying, they should fix it for free. It's a 2007, this is not normal wear and tear.
Shortly before the vehicle went out of the manufacturers warranty I began to notice issues with the paint job. The paint began to develop large areas on the roof, hood, fenders, and several other areas of the car that were extremely faded with the clear coat totally wearing through. I brought this to the attention of the dearlership I bought the car from and they told me to call back in about two weeks when a regional rep. Would be at the dealership for him to examine. I called back and was asked if I could bring the car down that day, luckily I work only a few miles from the dealership and was able to bring the car down. When I got there my service advisor took the car for the "regional" guy to have a look. About 40 minutes later my service advisor came back to the service lounge to tell me that, according to the "regional" guy, who I never met, said that it was quote, "environmental issues" that caused the issues with the paint job and suggested that keeping the car out of the sun ( in florida !!!! ) would help. In an effort to retain me as a customer, since both myself and my wife have bought hondas from that dealership, they would make an offer to pay for half of the paint job and that they would repaint and my half of the bill would only be $1200.00 !!!!! Needless to say I turned their offer down and will simply never ever purchase another honda nor will anyone else in my family !!!!!!
Clear coat and paint are peeling from top of vehicle in front of, and behind the sunroof.
Premature paint fading on top of car front of moonroof and back of roof and growing.
Paint/clear coat is deteriorating and cracking. Honda dealer and american honda state that since the car is beyond the 3 yr warranty, there is nothing they can do (even though it is a defect).
The primer/paint/top coat began to fail about 18 months ago. The problem seems to be contained to the hood and roof, and it is progressively getting worse. It seems there is a problem with the quality of the finishing products used by honda on this car.
Paint on 2007 honda civic coupe (black) fading, chipping, oxidizing same as numerous other complaints on this site and several others. The wear on this paint is not "normal wear and tear" for a 6 year old vehicle, nor is it a result of inadequate wax, maintenance, etc. This is a defect which honda should fix. I am very disappointed in the low quality this vehicle is reflecting on honda products.
Clear coat/paint is coming off on driver's side roof and driver's side window frame. Car has been kept up with washes only like suggested and honda won't do anything about it.
Defective paint on this year civic. Apparently according to internet reports, this is a common problem. I joined the class action suit against honda, not sure what else to do.
Im sure im not the 1st person to complain about this issue my car is nighthawk black pearl its a 2dr honda civic ex coupe I've noticed that the top of my roofs paint is starting to fade and is spreading that's not normal. The clear code is going away leaving spots the size of a hand. There should be a recall on this issue.
Paint on the roof started fading and is getting worse as time goes by. Honda won't cover the paint on the roof under the warranty. They should fix the problem.
There is "popping/crackling" noise coming from the front suspension, which is occurring in many other civics. Seems like a faulty "bump stop" which american honda should be responsible for because its happening in many cars. Secondly, the cheap paint which is used on their vehicles, they recently had a tsb on certain colors, its not only 3 colors which have this issue, I have a galaxy grey metallic which has paint issues on the roof like the other colors. American honda needs to get their act straight or this is the last vehicle I own and won't recommend to any of my friends or family.
