Car Forum / Honda Cars / September 2006Peeling paint
I spent the better part of Monday waxing my wife's 2004 Accord and noticed that just to the front of the side door panel trim the paint is starting to peel. Is there anything can be done to prevent this from getting worse? Thanks H-S-F > I spent the better part of Monday waxing my wife's 2004 Accord and > noticed that just to the front of the side door panel trim the paint > is starting to peel.

Don't ask how I know. :( > Or Ford factory paint. Don't ask how I know. :( Anybody who bought a ford in the late 80's already knows this. When they refused to fix the peeling paint on my three year old '89 Mustang I swore off Fords forever. And of course, never looked back. -- Gary TeGGeR® wrote: > > > Sounds like a poor-quality repaint to correct damage of some kind. > > Or Ford factory paint.

On the sides of the roof, just above the middle of each front door, there are ripples in the factory body filler that make the car look as if it had been in a wreck and then badly spliced back together. Every '91-'95 Escort is like this from the factory. The dealer, Sanderson Ford of Glendale, AZ (near Phoenix, avoid them), told me that it's not a defect because all Escorts had this characteristic. They also had the attitude that you can't expect good quality from a car unless you buy a big "furniture on wheels" Crown Victoria or Lincoln, but the '91-'95 Escort was actually Ford's most reliable vehicle. Honda and Toyota dealers have a completely different attitude about quality Did you buy it new? If car was never damaged in an accident, try bitching politely to your dealer. >I spent the better part of Monday waxing my wife's 2004 Accord and noticed > that just to the front of the side door panel trim the paint is starting > to > peel.
