Purchased my 2002 Honda Accord brand new. We loved our car and have maintained all suggested maintenance. About five years ago the clear coat started coming off. It started on the hood and now, five years later it has spread to the top, and upper parts of the doors. When I contacted my Honda dealership I was told it was a known issue, but not covered under warranty or under a recall. I have noticed two identical vehicles in our town that look exactly the same. Honda wanted estimated 6k to totally redo it. The car is long paid off and our second car. I only drive it on occasion. I will not buy anymore Hondas because of this problem and their refusal to make it right.

I loved the gold color.
