2016 Honda Accord Body & Structure Problems

White paint peeling in rear rain gutter. Causing erosion.

Paint peeling where roof meets rear window in rain/water track

7 year old child sitting behind father when vehicle was hit from behind causing intrusion into the vehicle pushing the rear seat area forward; from the impact, driver's seatback yielded/failed significantly into the child's rear seating position area causing permanent catastrophic brain injuries to the child. Vehicle is currently being stored and preserved for evidence at SAFE, 6775 Hollister Ave., Goleta, CA 93117. Inspections of the vehicle are anticipated in the future.

I have brought the vehicle to the dealer as well as several auto body specialists. The paint is bubbling and peeling on the driver's side door, around the gas cap and on the frame around the trunk. Several online reports have been posted online and several other models from Honda have had extended recalls on their paint warranty. The same extension should be applied to the Honda Accord and Honda should be responsible for taking corrective actions as further failure of the paint to adhere will cause significant body damage, especially for owners like me who live in an area who use salt to treat their roads.

In late 2019 I noticed paint peeling around multiple areas of the car namely on the driver side, including the driver‘s door frame around the gas cap along the trim of the windshield and in areas on the trunk. I called Honda many times including emails include that included pictures of the areas. A local Honda dealership finally agreed to fix the issues of which they fixed all but one, the area around the gas cap in January 2021 within a year. The paint began to peel again in the exact same locations and they refused to fix it. I have sent multiple inquiries two Honda asking for it to be repair been denied the pictures below are the most recent photos, but I have pictures dating back over seven years of the issue if needed.

THE CLEAR COAT COMES OFF VERY EASILY, CHEAP PAINT. A 2016 CAR SHOULD NOT BE HAVING THIS PROBLEM SO SOON.

ON 10/10/2019 (THURSDAY) APPROXIMATELY 4:45 PM THERE WAS CONSTRUCTION GOING ON BETWEEN EXIT 312 AND EXIT 319 (CLAYTON /FUQUAY) AREA HWY 40. CONSTRUCTION DROPPED A LARGE LOAD WHICH SOUNDED REALLY LOUD AND DEBRIS WAS BLOWN IN THE AIR AND COVERED MY CAR WITH CEMENT LIKE STUFF ON MY CAR. ITS ALL OVER MY WINDSHIELD AND BODY OF MY CAR. SECOND TIME AT 5:45 AM IN THE MORNING ON 10/15/2019 (TUESDAY) THEY ARE WORKING AGAIN IN THE AREA, AND THEIR ARE LARGE CLOUDS OF SMOKE COMING UP AGAIN AND THEN I SEE LATER ON IN THE DAY WHEN I GET INTO MY CAR THAT I HAVE THIS STUFF ON MY CAR SOMEMORE. I WAS DRIVING BOTH TIMES ON THE HIGHWAY 40.

DROPPED MY CAR OFF FOR OIL CHANGE AND ROUTINE MAINTENANCE. MILLENNIUM HONDA SERVICE CRASHED MY CAR AND CAUSED OBVIOUS DAMAGE TO THE FRONT END OF MY CAR . PLASTIC UNDERCARRIAGE PIECES ARE FLYING OFF AS I AM DRIVING . DEALERSHIP IS NEGLECTING TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY AND FIX MY REPAIRS, WHICH THEY OBVIOUS CAUSED . AFTER ENDLESS PHONE CALLS , TALKING TO EVER MANAGER I CAN, NOTHING IS DONE. I ASKED FOR PICS OR VIDEO OF MY CAR WHILE IN THEIR POSSESSION BUT THE SERVICE MANAGER, GREG ANDREWS GAVE ME EVERY EXCUSE IN THE BOOK WHENEVER I ASKED HIM FOR THE FOOTAGE .

MY HONDA ACCORD V6 2016 , DURING RAIN TAKES IN WATER. THE VEHICLE STARTING DEVELOPING A FOUL ODOR INSIDE JUST AFTER A FEW MONTHS OF PURCHASE.

THE DEALER KEPT THE VEHICLE FOR SEVEN DAYS SAW THE PUDDLES OF WATER, AND CONDUCTED TEST ON THE VEHICLE AND YIELDING NEGATIVE RESULTS. I WAS TOLD THEY CAN'T FIND WHERE THE VEHICLE IS I TAKING WATER FROM. IT'S BEEN A MONTH NOW AND THE VEHICLE IS STARTING TO DEVELOP THE SAME FOUL ODOR AGAIN. LET'S SEE WHAT HONDA HAS TO SAY NOW.

TRUNK OPENS BY ITSELF WITHOUT ANY INTERACTION FROM THE KEY FOB. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON AT LEAST 5 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS IN THE PAST YEAR OF OWNERSHIP. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN FRONT OF MY RESIDENCE TEMPERATURES WERE BETWEEN 40 AND 70 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT ON THE DAYS IT HAPPENED.

PARTITIONED SIDE VIEW MIRRORS ON MY SPORT MODEL MAKES ME MORE CONFUSED THAN EVER. IT DEFEATS THE PURPOSE OF THESE MIRRORS. HONDA YOU MAKE THINGS BETTER, HOW IN THE WORLD YOU THOUGHT IT MAKES SIDE VIEWING EASIER/CLEARER. THIS IS CLASSIC EXAMPLE OF "IMPROVEMENT FOR THE WORSE". ALSO, HONDA USED A CHEAP REARVIEW MIRROR. REALLY DID NOT EXPECT THIS FROM HONDA.

EXCESSIVE WIND NOISE AT THE B-PILLAR NEAR EAR-LEVEL ON BOTH THE DRIVER'S AND PASSENGER'S SIDE.
