Description of the problem | After 3. 5 years after i bought my 2007 honda odyssey, i noticed that the paint on the roof and on the top of the front fenders started peeling off. I brought it to the dealer and they said they can't do anything because my warranty had expired. I told them that i have their extended warranty and showed them a copy of honda service bulletin # 08-031 that describes the paint peeling problem and how to fix it. In the service bulletin, honda will fix the paint problem and warranty the paint for 7 years. They refused to do anything. I contacted honda customer service and they said that they will not fix the paint to primer adhesion issue. Without a solid paint covering on the van, it will rust prematurely and lose value very fast. This paint to primer issue is widespread among many honda vehicles and model years and colors yet the service bulletin only mentions paint peeling on dark blue 2003-2005 odysseys built at the alabama plant with vins starting with 5fn . My odyssey is a 2007 with light blue paint, was built at the same alabama plant and my vin starts with 5fn . I have the same paint issue and the pictures of peeling paint in the service bulletin are exactly like my problem and in exactly the same spots. Clearly the paint problem is more widespread than honda is willing to admit. Please bring this issue in behalf of many honda owners to honda's attention and i hope they will do the right thing and fix our cars and fix the potential paint peeling problems of new cars. |
