2018 Honda Civic Body & Structure Problems

The paint has started peeling. For a 2018 car and maintained regularly, this is not acceptable.

The paint on my 2018 Honda Civic Hatchback (VIN: [XXX] , color Sonic Gray Pearl) is prematurely chipping and peeling on the driver-side mirror cover and door handle. This issue is identical to paint defects already acknowledged by Honda on other Civics and Accords, which were covered under extended warranties or settlements. Honda refuses to cover my vehicle, stating my VIN is excluded, even though the defect is visibly present and widespread among Civic owners. This reduces the vehicle’s durability and resale value and demonstrates a clear manufacturing paint adhesion defect.

While driving on a highway my sunroof randomly shattered. There were barely any cars around me. Nothing his my sunroof it just shattered randomly.

Paint on hood started chipping away few months back. Now entire car hood paint is peeled off and starting to get corrosion perforation. Some parts of hood shows material fatigue and potential to have structural damage/holes into hood. Vehicle was inspected by authorized dealer (AutoNation Honda Hollywood, Florida) of Honda. Report # [XXX]. Case number with American Honda Motor Company [XXX] . Both dealer and manufacturer refused to acknowledge that issue warrants any remediation mentioning that VIN number and color of vehicle is not part of the recall. Honda does have similar recalls for paint peeling off for different color codes and have extended warranty to 7 years from date of manufacturer. Issue is wide spread and can be seen by multiple complaints and manufacturer communication section of NHTSA.GOV website. Issue is affecting other color codes than the one Honda acknowledged in prior recalls. Honda need to address the issue diligently to have issue correct to prevent further damage to hood and potential safety hazard at high speed.

THE PAINT IS CHIPPING AWAY ON THE HOOD.THE CAR IS ALWAYS PARKED IN THE GARAGE.ALSO THE CAR IS WASHED AT A PROFESSIONAL CARWASH ESTABLISHMENT AT LEAST ONE EVERY WEEK.I NOTICED THIS MONTHS AGO BUT IT IS GETTING WORSE.THE DEALER TOLD ME TO SEND IN THE COMPLAINT. THEY HAD SIMILIAR COMPLAINTS WITH THIS BLACK PAINT. THANK YOU

MY VEHICLE PAINT IS TWO YEARS OLD FROM FACTORY, HAS BUBBLED AND THE CLEAR COAT IS LIFTING. THE PAINT IS SO CHEAP THAT ANY ROCK THAT HITS IT, IT GETS CHIPPED. IT IS A CONCERN FOR ME BECAUSE HONDA REFUSES TO COVER BODY PAINT UNDER WARRANTY AND I AM WORRIED IN A YEAR OR TWO, IT WILL RUST THE METAL OF IT NOT SERVING ITS PURPOSE OF PROTECTING THE BODY OF THE VEHICLE. HONDA HAS ME OVER A YEAR DISPUTING MY CLAIM AND ONLY GAVE ME "I CANNOT DISCLOSE THAT INFORMATION " FOR EVERYTHING. MY CAR PAINT IS FAULTY AND THEIR TECHNICIAN MISDIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE DEFECTS.

I HAVE HAD MY 2018 HONDA CIVIC FOR LESS THAN 2 YEARS AND MY PAINT IS CHIPPING OFF ON MY HOOD AND DOORS FOR NO APPARENT REASON.

The contact owns a 2018 Honda Civic. The contact stated that the weather strips on all four windows were cracked. The contact had taken the vehicle to a dealer where he was informed that there were no recalls on the vehicle. The contact was also informed that the vehicle warranty did not cover the cost of the repair. The contact was provided an estimate for the cost of new weather strips for each window. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 50,000. Consumer would like a reimbursement for $200 for each window($800) as he was quoted at the dealership. Without the black weather stripping water can flow inside of the doors causing rust, electrical, and mechanical problems.

WHILE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY FOR A FEW DAYS, THE BACK WINDSHIELD SHATTERED OUT OF NOWHERE. THE FUEL SYSTEM HAS BEEN GETTING ERROR CODES. AIR CONDITIONING ALSO RUNS HOT INSTEAD OF COLD SOMETIMES. ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON A LOT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE HIS DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING 70 MPH, SHE HEARD AN ABNORMAL SOUND COMING FROM THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED NO WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE DRIVER PULLED OVER AND THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO HOLLER HONDA LOCATED AT 2211 N SEMORAN BLVD, ORLANDO, FL 32807, (877) 872-9906, WHERE THE SKID PLATE WAS ATTACHED PROPERLY. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED THREE TIMES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 18,000.

WHILE WASHING MY 2 DAY OLD CAR A CHUNK OF PAINT BLOWS OFF THE LOWER KICK PANEL. DEALER TOLD ME IT WAS MY FAULT AND THEY WEREN'T GOING TO PAY FOR IT. I TOLD THEM THEY COULD HAVE THE CAR BACK. SUDDENLY THEY WERE GOING TO REPAIR IT. THEY TOLD ME THEY REPLACED THE ENTIRE PANEL. 2 DAYS AGO ALMOST EXACTLY 1 YEAR TO THE DAY,I WAS WASHING MY CAR AND IN THE EXACT SAME PLACE A CHUNK OF PAINT BLOWS OFF ( A BIT IRONIC). I WENT TO A DIFFERENT DEALER (CANT TRUST SUPERSTITION SPRINGS AFTER THEY LIED TO ME). I CALLED HONDA THEY SAID NO PROBLEM TO TAKE IT TO ANOTHER DEALER. THE DEALER I TOOK IT TO SAID I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR SINCE HONDA SAID THEY HAD PAID FOR THE FIX ONCE. NO WAY THEY REPLACED THE PANEL BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO RECORD OF IT EVER BEING REPLACED AND THE PAPER WORK I HAVE DOES NOT STATE THE PANEL WAS REPLACED. THEY DIDNT CHANGE THE PANEL, THEY SLAPPED SOME TOUCH UP ON IT AND SENT ME ON MY WAY.

I'VE BEEN SMELLING GAS IN THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE ONLY DURING START UP AND ITS BEEN HAPPENING FOR THE PAST COUPLE OF WEEKS. THE CAR IS PARKED IN A HEATED PARKING GARAGE WHEN THE SMELL OCCURS AND IT WILL ALSO HAPPEN OUTSIDE IN A PARKING LOT AFTER THE CAR SITS FOR A LITTLE BIT. YOU CAN ALSO SMELL A STRONG ODOR OF GAS WHEN YOU OPEN THE HOOD WHEN THE ENGINE IS COLD.

THE FRONT BUMPERS ON ALL 2016 TO 2018 HONDA CIVICS ARE NOT SECURED PROPERLY, HOND AIS AWARE OF THE ISSUE BUT HAS NO FIX FOR THIS. THESE BUMPERS COULD FLY OFF THE CAR AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND HURT OR KILL SOMEONE.
