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".

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.

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.
