COMPLAINTS INVOLVING PAINT PEEL FROM HONDA PILOT RECALL. VEHICLE PAINT IS PEELING AT ROOF LINE COMMON TO WHERE WINDSHIELD INSTALL AND SUNROOF INSTALL. QUALITY OF PAINT IS NOT ISSUE. MANUFACTURING PROCESS IS THE ISSUE. MOST LIKELY A RESULT OF POOR WORKMANSHIP DUE TO PREPARATION OF METAL PRIOR TO APPLICATION OF PAINT EITHER MANUALLY OR ELECTROSTATIC APPLICATION. WILL REQUEST FULL REPAINT OF VEHICLE FROM DEALERSHIP AT MANUFACTURE EXPENSE. VEHICLE IS GARAGED IN 70-75 DEGREE ENVIRONMENT AND IS DRIVEN TYPICAL MILES FOR AGE OF VEHICLE. NO KNOWN EXTERNAL ISSUE SUCH AS CHEMICAL SPILL HAIL OR OTHER DAMAGE HAS OCCURRED ON AREA OF CONCERN OR ANY OTHER AREA. ORIGINAL OWNER OF VEHICLE. BOUGHT NEW FROM EXCELLENT DEALERSHIP. DEALERSHIP HAS DONE 100% OF ALL MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS INCLUDING TIRE REPLACEMENT, TUNE UPS, ETC.

2013 HONDA PILOT WITH ONLY 31K MILES AND PAINT IS PEELING OFF. HONDA ISSUES A TSB BULLETIN AND ARE COVERING ROOFS AND TAILGATES THAT ARE PEELING. SO THEY HAVE ADMITTED THERE IS A PAINT DEFECT BUT THE PROBLEM IS ITS THE SAME PAINT/PRIMER USED ALL OVER THE CAR. MINE IS PEELING AT TO OF BACK DOOR AND AROUND FRONT AND BACK WINDOW. I KNOW IT'S ONLY GOING TO GET WORSE. BODY SHOP SAID THEY'VE SEEN A GOOD DEAL OF WHITE HONDAS WITH THIS SAME ISSUE AND SAID THERE IS OBVIOUS DEFECT IN PRIMER CAUSING PAINT ADHERENCE ISSUES. THEY ARE 1500 PEOPLE ON A FACEBOOK PAGE THAT HAVE THE SAME ISSUE ALSO. HOW CAN HONDA CONTINUE TO GET AWAY WITH TREATING CUSTOMERS THIS WAY. THIS IS MY 4TH HONDA BUT ITS LOOKING LIKE MY LAST UNLESS HONDA STEPS UP AND DOES THE RIGHT THING!!!

VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND REAR LATCH WAS UNABLE TO OPEN FROM BUTTON ON HATCH OR KEY. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD NOT BEING ABLE TO OPEN REAR LATCH. I COULD NOT FIND ANY WAY TO OPEN THE REAR LATCH EVEN FROM INSIDE WITH AN ESCAPE BUTTON.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HONDA PILOT. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE AND VTM-4 INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 68,000.

PAINT BETWEEN THE SUNROOF AND FRONT WIND SHIELD PEELING OFF.

WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED THE FRONT END STARTS TO VIBRATE AS THE CAR IS MOVING ON STREETS, ROADS, HIGHWAYS AND INTERSTATE HIGHWAYS. NOT DURING A TURN, YET. JUST MOVING FORWARD. THERE HAS BEEN NO ACCIDENT AS OF YET BUT, I AM FEARFUL THAT THE VIBRATION WILL NOT ALLOW THE CAR TO STOP IN TIME TO SAVE MY LIFE AS WELL AS WHO EVER I HIT. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION. THE PILOT WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP THIS MORNING. THEY CALLED WITH A BILL FOR 1,052.00 FOR COMPLIANCE BUSHINGS. THIS CAR IS SIX YEARS OLD WITH 61,026 MILES, WAY TOO YOUNG TO BE COSTING ME THAT MUCH MONEY FOR A 'FRONT / REAR STABILIZER', THAT SHOULD BE A PROBLEM AT MAYBE 200,000 MILES. WILL I EVER BUY ANOTHER HONDA? LET'S SEE!!!!! HMMMM. I'M THINKING ABOUT IT.

PAINT PEELED OFF ON ROOF BETWEEN WINDSHIELD AND MOON ROOF WHILE DRIVING. APPROXIMATELY 10' BY 12' IS THE SIZE OF THE PEEL. THE AREA OF THE PEEL HAS NEVER COME IN CONTACT WITH ANY FOREIGN OBJECTS NOR WERE THEIR ANY SCRATCHES OR DENT OR DINGS.

2013 HONDA PILOT. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO WARPED ROTORS. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BY THE MANUFACTURER, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. *JS

PAINT PEELING IN MULTIPLE AREAS ON VEHICLE. STARTED ON INSIDE PASSENGER SIDE FENDER ALONG HOOD LINE AND ROOF BETWEEN TOP OF WINDSHIELD AND SUNROOF. PAINT PEELING IS SHOWING UP IN NEW PLACES AND PROGRESSIVELY PEELING DAILY.

I WAS TRAVELING AT ABOUT 35MPH IN A CITY STREET AND SLOWLY APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN. OUT OF A SUDDEN, THE CAR ACCELERATED WHILE MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE, CRASHING INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE AND RUNNING OFF THE ROAD. BOTH AIRBAGS DEPLOYED.

TAKATA RECALL WENT TO HONDA CITY OF BETHPAGE BECAUSE I RECEIVED AN EMAIL REGARDING AN AIRBAG RECALL. WAITED HOURS JUST TO LET ME KNOW AIRBAG WAS DEPLOYED AND WILL NOT FIX IT. I DIDN'T KNOW WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR THE AIRBAG WAS DEPLOYED. DIDN'T EVEN BOTHERING ASKING ME I WANTED IT TO BE FIX OR NOT. SO I'M ASSUMING HONDA DOES NOT FIX AIRBAGS.

I HAD A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD AND BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE. THEY DIAGNOSED THE CAR AND STATED THAT THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE TORQUE CONVERTER. I HAVE READ A NUMBER OF REPORTS REGARDING ISSUES WITH THE TORQUE CONVERTER OF THE HONDA PILOT. SIGNIFICANTLY, REPORT STATES THAT THERE IS SHUDDERING AND VIBRATION DURING SHIFT CHANGE. THIS WAS ADDRESSED TO THEM WHEN I HAVE MY CAR WHEN IT WAS BOUGHT BRAND NEW. THEY SAID IT IS JUST THE WAY IT WAS DESIGN BUT HONESTLY, IT WAS REALLY ANNOYING. SO NOW, AFTER ABOUT 95,000 MILES, AN ISSUE CAME UP. I DO BELIEVE THAT THESE TWO EVENT ARE RELATED. PLEASE CONDUCT AN INVESTIGATION REGARDING THIS MATTER. THE SHUDDERING/VIBRATIONS HAPPENS WHEN ACCELERATING, DECCELERATING, AT IDLE, FROM A STOP AND ACCELERATES, WHEN MAKING A TRUN WHILE ACCELERATING SLOWLY.

THE CAR IS MAKING THESE HORRIBLE NOISES. THE DEALERSHIP CLAIMS EVERYTHING WAS FIND WHEN THEY SOLD IT TO US. WE TOOK IT BACK A FEW DAYS LATER FOR THEM TO FIX IT AND THEY CLAIMED TO FIX IT BUT NEVER DID. WE HAVE TAKEN IT TO MULTIPLE MECHANICS AND THEY CAN NOT FIGURE OUT WHAT IT IS AFTER HAVE IT AT LEAST 3 OR 4 DAYS. IT'S LIKE A VIBRATION/GRINDING NOISE. THE ALIGNMENT IS FINE BUT IT STILL PULLS AND THE STEERING WHEEL IS OFF. IT ALWAYS MAKES A GRINDING NOISE AND THE VIBRATION AND GRINDING STARTS WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING AND IT HITS A CONSTANT SPEED EVEN WHEN YOU DONT USE THE CRUISE CONTROL.

WHEN IT RAINS, WATER LEAKS THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE. THE CEILING, SEAT, AND FLOOR WOULD BE WET.

MY CAR HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE SUN VISORS, WHICH SHOULD BE LATCHED AND OUT OF THE WAY WHILE DRIVING, DROPPING DOWN BLOCKING THE DRIVERS VIEW CAUSING A SERIOUS PROBLEM. (THE PROBLEM EXISTS WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION ESPECIALLY IF DRIVING ON A ROUGH OR REPAIRED ROAD.)

PAINT IS PEELING OFF BETWEEN WINDSHIELD AND SUN ROOF, ON THE HOOD AND FRONT FENDERS. VEHICLE IS 5 YEARS OLD AND IT CLEARLY DELAMINATING, WHICH IS A FACTORY DEFECT FROM THE MANUFACTURER.

LARGE SECTION OF WHITE DIAMOND PEARL PAINT PEELED AWAY FROM THE ROOF OF VEHICLE BETWEEN THE WINDSHIELD AND THE SUNROOF. FURTHER SEARCHING ON THE INTERNET INDICATES THIS IS A WIDESPREAD DEFECT FROM THE FACTORY AND HONDA REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THEIR IS AN ISSUE. THIS HAS BEEN REPORTED ACROSS THE HONDA LINE WITH WHITE VEHICLES FROM THEIR ALABAMA PLANT. I HAVE PERSONALLY SEEN 2 OTHER WHITE PILOTS WITH SAME PEELING IN MY AREA ALONE ALONG WITH MANY PHOTOS FROM OTHER OWNERS ACROSS THE COUNTRY.

PAINT IS PEELING DOWN TO THE METAL BETWEEN THE WINDSHIELD AND THE SUNROOF. THE CAR WAS PARKED WHEN IT WAS NOTICED. THE CAR IS GARAGED.

THE PAINT IS PEELING OFF OF MY PILOT. IT IS ONLY 6 YEARS OLD. WORRIED ABOUT POTENTIAL RUST AND COMPROMISE OF THE INTEGRITY OF THE CAR. HONDA WILL NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY THOUGH IT IS A WELL-DOCUMENTED PROBLEM.

MY PAINT IS PEELING. THIS IS HAPPENING TO MY MOTHERS HONDA PILOT ALSO.

MY 2013 HONDA PILOT HAS PAINT PEELING OFF. THE PAINT IS MISSING OFF FROM THE ROOF BETWEEN THE WINDSHIELD AND THE SUNROOF. IT STARTED OUT SMALL DIDN'T THINK ANYTHING OF IT UNTIL MORE STARTED FALLING OFF. I STARTED SEARCHING ONLINE AND NOTICED OTHERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I EMAILED HONDA AND THEY ARE NOT ACKNOWLEDGING THE PROBLEM AND SAID I'M OUT OF MY WARRENTY. THERE IS DEFINITELY A DEFECT IN THE PAINT THAT WAS USED.

THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE STOPPED WORKING. I REPLACING THE BULB, BUT IT STILL WOULDN'T WORK. SIX TO EIGHT WEEKS LATER THE DRIVERS' SIDE LOW BEAM STOPPED WORKING. WHEN LOOKING IT UP ONLINE, I FOUND MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE AS FAR BACK AS 2005 HONDA MODELS AND NOT ONLY WITH THE PILOTS BUT SEVERAL OTHER MODELS. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT ON 5/30/19 AT A HONDA DEALERSHIP TO REPAIR A RECALL ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG AND WILL GET AN ESTIMATE ON THE COST FOR FIXING THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS. AT WHAT POINT DOES HONDA NEED TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS PROBLEM INSTEAD OF THEIR CUSTOMERS PAYING FOR THEIR FAULTY WIRING?

VEHICLE IS PARKED IN A CARPORT IN THE EVENINGS AND IN A CARPORT AT WORK DURING THE WEEKDAYS. THE PAINT ON THE ROOF BETWEEN THE SUNROOF COMPLETELY PEELED OFF IN SHEETS, LEAVING THE META UNDERNEATH EXPOSED.

WAS TOLD BY HONDA DEALER COMPLIANCE BUSHINGS LEAKING. THEY WOULD BE HAPPY TO REPLACE FOR A FEE. HOWEVER, I FOUND AN SB. SB 15-045. I THINK IT APPLIES.

PAINT ON ROOF OF CAR IS PEELING IN SHEETS TO THE BARE METAL. THE DAMAGE IS ON THE ROOF BETWEEN THE FRONT WINDSHIELD AND SUNROOF. IT APPEARS TO BE A BAD PAINT MIXTURE AT THE PLANT AND HONDA IS NOT ACCEPTING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS MANUFACTURING DEFAULT. THIS CAR IS 5 YEARS OLD AND SHOULD NOT BE HAVING ISSUES WITH PAINT PEELING ALL THE WAY TO THE BARE SHEET METAL. I'M CONCERNED AS THE METAL IS NOW EXPOSED AND THE ELEMENTS WILL CAUSE DAMAGE (RUST/CORROSION) TO THE METAL AND COMPROMISE THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THE ROOF AND THE METAL THAT HOLDS THE WINDSHIELD.

I HAVE HAD SHAKING IN STEERING WHEEL AT 60-70 MPH AND BRAKES CAUSE THE CAR TO SHUDDER. THE BRAKES GRABBED WHEN LIGHTLY TOUCHED THEM AT 70 MPH TO AVOID A TRUCK THAT PULLED INTO MY LANE. AFRAID THAT VEHICLE WILL LOSE CONTROL DUE TO SUDDEN BRAKE AND SHUDDER IN STEERING.

REAR DOOR IS NOT OPENING , SWITCH DOES NOT RESPOND TO PRESSING , YOU HEAR THE UNLOCKING SOUND AND LIGHT TURNS ON BUT DOOR WONT OPEN , THIS IS NOT AN ELECTRICAL DOOR THAT OPENS BY ITSELF , THIS IS A MAIN ISSUE SINCE I CANNOT OPEN THE DOOR TO PUT MY KIDS STROLLERS , ETC . BY DOING SO MUCH PRESSURE IN THE DOOR , I TOOK OFF THE HANDLE AND BROKE ONE OF THE PINS . IS ANYBODY EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE ?

EXTERIOR PAINT: TAFFETA WHITE VEHICLE PAINT FADING AFTER 4-5 YEARS FROM ROOF TOP, SIDES, BACK TRUNK AREA, AND HOOD.

I CHANGED TIRE ,BUSHING STABILIZER,WHEEL BALANCE ALIGNMENT, CHANGED THE TIE ROD AND CV AXLE BUT THE CAR STILL SHAKING BETWEEN THE SPEED OF 60MPH-70MPH..I DON'T REMEMBER WHEN MY HONDA PILOT 2013 MISFIRED THEN THEY FIXED IT BUT MY TIMING BELT EVERYTHING WAS MAKING SOUND , I SPENT TO MY MECHANIC FRIEND COZ THE DEALER CHARGE ME A PRICE OF 950$ TO DO TIMING BELT SERVICE.

MY CAR IS INCREASINGLY SMELLING LIKE GASOLINE AND EXHAUST. OUR GARAGE SMELLS STRONGLY OF GASOLINE. WHEN I USE A/C THE CABIN SMELLS LIKE EXHAUST. I JUST MADE A 5 MINUTE TRIP TO PICK UP MY DAUGHTER AND IT MADE ME FEEL DIZZY. WE HAVE NEVER SKIPPED ANY MAINTENANCE ON THE VEHICLE, EVERYTHING IS UP TO DATE. THE ODDLY GASOLINE-Y SMELL IN OUR GARAGE HAS JUST SUDDENLY GOTTEN TO THE POINT WHERE I REALIZE IT IS COMING FROM MY HONDA PILOT - I CAN FOLLOW THE SCENT DIRECTLY TO THE CAR EVEN WITH THE GARAGE DOOR OPEN. THE INTERIOR OF OUR CAR IS NOW BEING AFFECTED AND THE SMELL IS MUCH STRONGER WHEN A/C RUNS. HAD TO TURN IT OFF.

ON 2018, THE PAINT ON THE ROOF BEGAN TO PEEL IN CHUNKS BETWEEN THE WINDSHIELD AND MOONROOF. ADDITIONALLY, THE WHOLE BODY PAINT BEGAN TO FADE REGARDLESS OF HOW OFTEN IT WAS WASHED AND WAXED. THE ISSUE WAS BROUGHT UP TO A LOCAL DEALER AND THEY WERE ONLY WILLING TO PAINT THE ROOF AND SIDE BECAUSE IT WAS THE ONLY THING THAT HAD BEEN IDENTIFIED AS A VEHICLE RECALL MATTER. THE ROOF HAS BEEN FIXED BUT NOW THE CAR LOOKS AWKWARD AS ONE PORTION IS VERY SHINY WHILE THE REST LOOKS HORRIBLY FADED. THE REST OF THE PAINT HAS ONLY BECOME WORSE AS THE TIME PROGRESSED. WHY ISN'T ANYONE AT HONDA CORPORATE NOT FIXING THIS? IT IS A KNOWN QUALITY DEFECT AND NO FIX IS BEING DONE. I ASKED A BODY SHOP FOR A QUOTE TO SEE HOW MUCH IT WOULD BE TO PAINT THE REST OF THE VEHICLE. $8000.00 TO FIX THE ISSUE!!!

PAINT TURNED DULL AND CHALKY AFTER LESS THAN 5 YEARS AND NOW BEGINNING TO PEEL AT 7 YEARS

PAINT CHIPPING FROM ROOF OF CAR. YOU CAN SEE THE GRAY PRIMER. HONDA REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE PROBLEM. SAID MY CAR HAS TOO MANY MILES. IT HAS 60,000. IT IS WELL TAKEN CARE OF.

THIS WILL BE THE 3RD TIME IN LESS THAN 80,000 MILES THAT I HAVE HAD TO HAVE THE BRAKE ROTORS AND PADS REPLACED DUE TO THE BRAKES EXCESSIVE STEERING SHAKE AT ANY SPEED. THIS CONDITION HAS TO BE DUE TO A STRUCTURAL PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKE HARDWARE MAKING IT BOTH COSTLY AND DANGEROUS. DEALERSHIP WANTS TO TAKE MY MONEY AND IGNORE THE PROBLEM.

I HAVE A 2013 HONDA PILOT WITH ABOUT 85,000 MILES. A FEW MONTHS AGO WE NOTICED PAINT PEELING OFF OF THE HOOD. WE CONTACTED RUSTY WALLIS HONDA ABOUT THIS AND THEY COVERED THE REPAIRS ONLY AT 50%, WHICH LEFT ME PAYING ABOUT $450 FOR THE REPAIR WHICH WAS A TOTAL MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT. I TOLD THEM I WAS UNHAPPY WITH THIS BUT THEY SAID THE DECISION WAS FINAL. APPARENTLY THERE IS SOME SORT OF REGIONAL MANAGER THAT MAKES THESE DECISIONS, CALLED THE "DPMS". THE BODY SHOP MANAGER AGREED THAT IT WAS A DEFECT AND TOLD ME THAT THEY HAD HAD PROBLEMS LIKE THIS IN THE PAST. A FEW WEEKS AFTER WE GOT THE HOOD REPAIRED WE NOTICED THE SAME PROBLEM HAPPENING ON THE ROOF OF THE CAR. WE CONTACTED RUSTY WALLIS AGAIN AND THEY STATED THAT THEY WOULD ONLY COVER THIS REPAIR AT 50% WHICH LEAVES ME PAYING ABOUT $650. I AGAIN TOLD THEM I WAS UNHAPPY WITH THIS. I CALLED AMERICAN HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY TOLD ME THAT I COULD SCHEDULE A MEETING WITH THE DPMS. SO I CALLED MANAGERS AND SUPERVISORS AT RUSTY WALLIS. I HAVE EVEN SENT RUSTY WALLIS A PERSONAL EMAIL, ONLY TO GET NO CALLS OR EMAILS RETURNED AT ALL FROM ANYONE. SOMEONE FROM AMERICAN HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE FINALLY CALLED ME AND SAID THAT THE DPMS WOULD NOT MEET WITH ME AND THAT THE DECISION WAS FINAL. I CAN'T HELP BUT FEEL COMPLETELY HELPLESS IN ALL THIS. IT IS RIDICULOUS THAT A 5 YEAR OLD CAR'S PAINT WOULD BE UNCONTROLLABLY PEELING OFF. THIS COULD JUST KEEP HAPPENING OVER AND OVER AGAIN UNTIL THE ENTIRE CAR GETS REPAINTED. I KNOW THAT HONDA HAS HAD CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS ABOUT THEIR PAINT IN THE PAST BUT APPARENTLY IS HASN'T HAPPENED FOR THIS MODEL YET.

Paint bubbling up all over vehicle.Roof,hood,rear tail gate,doors and paint peeling off. Had same problem between windshield and roof and American Honda repaired it.Now entire car is bubbling and paint peeling off.

WHILE DRIVING ON I65 NORTH OF BIRMINGHAM, AL AT 65-70 MPH WITH NO OTHER VEHICLES CLOSE BY, WE HEARD A LOUD POP AND THEN NOTICED WHAT SOUNDED LIKE AIR COMING INTO THE CABIN. WE PULLED BACK THE SUNROOF SHADE SLIGHTLY AND NOTICED SHATTERED GLASS. WE PULLED OVER TO FIND ABOUT A 4 INCH HOLD IN THE SUNROOF WITH SHATTERED GLASS ALL AROUND IT. WE BROKE OFF AS MUCH AS WE COULD SO OTHER VEHICLES WOULD NOT BE DAMAGED BY THE DEBRIS.

DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR WILL NOT STAY UP. ONE TIME WHEN I PULLED DOWN GENTLY TO BLOCK THE SUN IT BECAME LOOSE AND NEVER WOULD STAY UP AGAIN. IN READING ON CAR FORUMS THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH MANY MODELS OF HONDA CARS. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY RECALL FOR REPAIRS.

ENGINE MIL ILLUMINATED. CODE P3400 INDICATED THROUGH OBD. NO LOW OIL PRESSURE INDICATION PRIOR TO MIL, COULD LEAD TO ENGINE FAILURE. REPLACED BOTH FRONT AND REAR ROCKER ARM OIL SWITCHES.

I HAVE MAJOT PAINT REMOVAL ON THE ROOF OF MY HONDA PILOT. IT JUST COMES OFF IN SHEETS WHEN WE ARE DRIVING. WE TOOK IT TO OUR LOCAL HONDA DEALER AND THEY SAID WE DIDN'T WAX THE CAR ENOUGH AND THAT WAS WHY IT WAS HAPPENING. A CAR THAT IS 5 YEARS OLD SHOULD NOT HAVE PAINT COMING OFF IN SHEETS. IT IS SO BAD THAT I NOW HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THE ROOF GETTING RUST BECAUSE THE PAINT COMES OFF DOWN TO THE METAL.

PAINT BETWEEN WINDSHIELD AND SUNROOF STARTED TO PEEL, AND HAS CONTINUED TO DETERIORATE QUICKLY. WILL HAVE TO HAVE IT REPAINTED. RECENTLY, PAINT HAS NOW STARTED TO PEEL FROM THE HOOD.

PAINT ON THE ROOF PEELED OFF FROM ONE DAY TO ANOTHER.
