Description of the problem | Several years ago, the clear coating on the top, back area of roof started peeling off and this year it became bigger about the size of 6 " x 18 " area. Despite to my complaints to honda service dept., the auto body shop said it requires whole top rework is the only option that i have to pay for. Last june, i reported to complain honda service dept manager, i was told to buy the paint pens for $15. 00. Even though i bought it, i have not apply it yet because the problem requires professional work to be done. I requested that honda is to be responsible to cover the work expenses, not me. After the service manager took the pictures of it, he claimed he will send paperwork to home office for review. I requested several times for a copy of paperwork to prove his claim he had processed the paperwork with photos. He never give to me. Only he claimed he has not heard form corporate office. Our last contact is last august. I researched recall and learned that civics are the only one being recalled for bad painting job. I request for an investigation that honda should recall for accord 2003 painting job, not just the civics! I can provide the photo when you contact me because i could not upload it to the desktop from my cellphone, |
