IN 2014 WE RECEIVED NOTICED OF A RECALL ON MY 2009 HONDA CIVIC, ABOUT THE CLEAR COAT PAINT JOB. TOOK MY VEHICLE TO HUGHES HONDA IN WARNER ROBINS, GA; THEY KEPT MY VEHICLE FOR 3 WEEKS AND ONLY PAINTED THE SPOTS THAT WERE FADING. IF THE RECALL IS FOR THE ENTIRE CAR, WHY DID THE DEALERSHIP NOT RE-PAINT THE ENTIRE CAR, SINCE THE CAR HAD A CLEAR COAT RECALL ON IT? I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP A YEAR AFTER I TOOK IT TO GET REPAINTED, AND WAS TOLD THAT THE RECALL WARRANTY WAS UP AND THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN RESOLVED THE FIRST TIME I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. NOW IN 2018, THE OTHER HALF OF MY CAR IS FADING.

WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED (~65-70MPH), THE MOLDING/SEAL ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD CAME LOOSE, AND BEFORE I COULD GET TO A SAFE PLACE TO PULL OVER, IT BROKE FREE. WHILE IT WAS ATTACHED, IT WAS BANGING INTO THE ROOF OF THE CAR AND AGAINST THE REAR PASSENGER-SIDE WINDOW. IT WAS HITTING THE WINDOW WITH ENOUGH FORCE THAT I FEARED IT WOULD CRACK THE GLASS. ADDITIONALLY, THAT IT BROKE FREE AND FELL OFF CREATED A SAFETY HAZARD FOR OTHER VEHICLES NEAR ME. IN THE ATTACHED PHOTO, IT SHOWS THE SPACE WHERE THE SEAL CAME LOOSE BETWEEN THE EDGE OF THE GLASS, AND THE FRAME AT THE TOP.

WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT THIS CAR AT DAVID MCDAVID HONDA OF IRVING (TEXAS) IN 2012, I NOTICED THERE WAS PAINT OR CLEAR COAT PEELING ON THE ROOF OF THE CAR. I DIDN'T IMMEDIATELY THINK MUCH OF IT, THOUGHT MAYBE IT WAS A ONE-OFF PROBLEM, AND ASKED THE DEALERSHIP TO REPAINT IT BEFORE I PICKED IT UP-- THEY DID. BEING A FULL-TIME STUDENT AND WORKING FULL TIME, I DIDN'T NOTICE THAT THE CLEAR COAT WAS STARTING TO PEEL FROM THE BACK OF THE CAR AND THEN FORWARD. WHEN I DID NOTICE THE CLEAR COAT I DID NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO GET IT REPAINTED AND IT WAS NOT A PRIORITY. WHEN IT GOT EVEN WORSE, I STARTED DOING MORE RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT THERE WAS ACTUALLY A PAINT REAL FOR HONDAS FOR SEVERAL MODELS ACROSS A RANGE OF YEARS. MINE FELL INTO THAT RANGE. I WENT TO DAVID MCDAVID TO ASK THEM TO REPAINT IT AND HONOR THE WARRANTY, BUT THEY REFUSED SINCE I WAS 3 MONTHS OUT OF THE WARRANTY! WHAT SUCKS IS THAT I NEVER RECEIVED ANYTHING IN THE MAIL LETTING ME KNOW THERE WAS AN EXISTING RECALL FOR THAT. AND EVEN WORSE, THE DEALERSHIP KNEW ABOUT THE ISSUE AND REFUSED TO HELP. I CONTACTED HONDA OF NORTH AMERICA AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE ONLY WAY I COULD GET THE PAINT JOB WAS THROUGH MY DEALERSHIP. SO NOW I AM STUCK AND MY CAR LOOKS LIKE CRAP. I STILL DO NOT HAVE OVER 1K FOR A PAINT JOB AND NEITHER MY DEALERSHIP OR HONDA IS HELPING.
