A federal class action lawsuit has been filed against Honda claiming its 2003-2007 Accords and Civics have defective paint that delaminates, causing the vehicles to appear faded or to have peeling paint.
The Honda Civic/Accord paint class action lawsuit was filed by two Plaintiffs, including a New York resident who alleges portions of her 2003 Honda Accord began exhibiting “areas and splotches of deterioration and eventually grey or white areas where the vehicle’s original paint had delaminated. Over time, the paint delamination has increased in severity and extent, covering several of the vehicle’s body panels.” When the Plaintiff brought her car to a Honda dealership to repair the paint delamination, Honda denied her request because it was beyond the 3 year/36,000 mile warranty.
“In modern vehicles, automobile paint is routinely expected to last the lifetime of the vehicle, such that, absent an accident, a vehicles owner reasonably would not expect to have to spend thousands of dollars to have his or her vehicles stripped and repainted during ownership of the car,” the class action lawsuit says. “Honda, however, has manufactured vehicles with a defective paint or paint application, that leaves vehicle owners with a vehicle of unacceptable appearance. In addition, the delamination of the paint from the vehicle’s body panels, exposing the vehicle to enhanced erosion.”
The Honda paint class action lawsuit is brought on behalf of all California and New York owners of a model year 2003-2007 Honda vehicles. It is seeking actual damages and losses sustained by Class Members and other relief for breach of express warranty, breach of implied warranty of merchantability, and violation of California’s unfair competition law.

Add me to this law suit please!
Same problem of paint peelling on a 2000 Accord. All over–car looks terrible. Honda dealer doesn’t want to hear aabout it.
Can we join the class action suit?
I bought a 2012 used Honda Civic LX. Paint is peeling, cracking, fading and looks chalky, on the roof and now beginning on the hood. I guess it wasn’t as noticeable to me when it was only on the roof but now it’s on the hood and looks awful. It’s actually embarrassing to drive. I didn’t know anything about a lawsuit.
I own a 2012 silver honda pilot, I washed my truck the other day and a nickel sized chunk of paint came off from the spray nozzle at a drive up car wash. I was told by Honda collision manager that is was due to paint delamination. Has this been settled already and if not how do I get in on this so I can have my truck fixed?
