| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The paint on my black tl-s has been continually deteriorating since a couple months after purchase. every bird dropping, road grime, hard water mark on my car seems to eat through 3 coats of meguiar's wax and take off the paint. friends have witnessed how well i take care of my cars (witness my 10 year old mitsubishi with no such problems and it was not garaged!) and agree that the paint quality on my acura is extremely poor. i have been reading of other customers with similar problems and i believe acura should have to send out a service bulletin to repaint those cars exhibiting this peeling, flaking, cracking, etching problem. i use a car cover and immediately wash off anything that lands on my car.... often the contaminant does not wash off (bonds to the paint?) or just takes the paint off with it! talked to three acura dealers over the years and no one will take responsibility. it's disappointing for a company my family has done business with for 18 years (7 honda products so far). never saw this problem on any of the other honda / acura products either. *nm |
