Takata recall- my honda was totaled and my airbags never deployed.
2 things: 1) the passenger side visor broke for no reason. It now hangs in the way of my vision. It doesn't stay up. It is a hazard. I can't have a passenger sit there because it completely obstructs their view. 2) the paint is damaged. Server all spots are "worn out".
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
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.
My car paint and clearcoat started feeling off on roof and hood and spreading all over body parts
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.
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.
When they did the paint recall honda in hilo did not do the whole car just the roof now my car is chipping clear coat all over and it is a black car looking horribly wrong and no matter how much I complained for them to fix it they did not and avoided me now there another recall I want them as a honda dealer to fixed all of it like they promised.

Paint is cracking and peeling off on body of vehicle.
The bracket the holds the alternator and is connected to the engine block snapped while I was driving on a city street. I lost power steering and the belt came off. The alternator was just dangling. From what I understand, this is a known problem with this model vehicle and it seems to be a serious design flaw.
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.
The paint is cracking and chipping the oil bracket nut is leaking and weak (can cause fire to burn faster than normal) the air bag on left is defective
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.
The paint on the roof of the car has several baseball size white spots that look like clear coat is coming off.
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.
Paint on my navy blue civic is deteriorating on the trunk, hood and roof. Also my passenger sun visor is broke. It looks like it melted and cracked for no apparent reason. There have been many complaints about paint peeling and chipping . You would think that honda would take responsibility for the problem.
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.
Clear coat & paint still fading after it was repainted by cleobay honda in 2014. Side airbag warning light is on most of the time for no reason. Sun visor's where replaced twice last in 2014 and are broken again. They will not stay up or down.
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.
Ran over a shallow pot hole on a city street. The car was going 10-15 miles per hour (5 feet after a complete stop at a stop sign). The car was traveling straight across a one way stop. The driver's side air bag exploded (did not deploy) and seat belt stopped retracting. Damage was also noted to the base of windshield on the driver's side.
Paint oxidation on roof, hood and trunk of car.
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.
Bad paint cracking clear coat.
