Car Forum / Honda Cars / November 2004Paint peeling '04 Accord EX - anyone???
I seem to recall someone else posting in ref to a paint peeling problem on the '04 Accord. Can anyone provide some details or refresh me on this? My son has an '04 Accord and has now been back to the dealership a total of 3 times. It's peeling again in the area of the tail lights. Is there a TSB on this? We're about to call an attorney and pursue a Lemon Law claim. Thanks in advance. Aha, and now I can see where you're getting your attitude from. Why has the dealer refused to fix your paint problem? > I seem to recall someone else posting in ref to a paint peeling problem on > the '04 Accord.

Most recently they repainted 3 weeks ago. It is now peeling again, same area. We do not want to request Lemon Law relief, we only want it ****FIXED**** and to have it stay fixed. The dealer has already had 2 "at-bats" on this. We've already been told we're working with the wrong dealer, but we actually figured that out for ourselves shortly after taking delivery. >Aha, and now I can see where you're getting your attitude from. >Why has the dealer refused to fix your paint problem?

Any chance the car was repainted in a single area to cover up damage that might have occurred between the factory and dealer? I once had such a car - unknown to me until the paint faded in one area. Although out of warrantee, the dealer repainted the car. The peeling is occurring around the top edge of both taillights, the right side moreso than the left. With intervention from Honda N.America the whole right quarter was most recently repainted. Sadly the problem is starting to occur again. Right now it's very minor and hardly noticeable unless you really look for it, but it has begin to peel once more.

Although out of warrantee, the dealer repainted the car. Perhaps they failed to put in an additive to the paint needed for the bumper! I once had a little accident that required my bumper to be repainted. I took it to the dealer .... a few years later, I bumped another car. (It was just a touch between my bumper and the other car.) The area where the bumper came into contact looked like the paint had shattered into a zillion little cracks. When I got the bumper repainted somewhere else, the guy told me that an additive had not been added which gives the paint on the bumper a rubber quality so it doesn't shatter. |
