I had probelm with paint on my Si. It was around the head lights. They fixed it, but its starting to peel in other spots around the lights =( The guy said he had seen this on alot of the new Civcs, and it was covered under warranty.

Oh well back the shop.

Attached is a photos of my car, the problem was a lot smaller but it is warranty work because the paint is failing to bond to the car.

How's the repair holding up?

DNieves, the repairs are holding up great, they removed the whole bumper, sanded it and repainted it at my request, they were just going to to touch up. But since its covered by warranty I had them repaint the whole bumper.

we are having the same problem on the girlfriend's alblaster silver EX..

the dealership keeps jerkin her around making her come back and forth every other week to tell her they will have to have someone else look at it. (the dealership is about 45 mins away too.. its absolute bullshit!

she never hit anything or nothing like that.. the damn bumper isnt even sanded/primed...
well we have to go back this friday but this time im going with her. im putting my foot down and nothing gets done then im raising hell and probably getting arrested.. :) i will let everyone know of the outcome

so we drove all the way out there to see this "specialist".. I think he was a specialist at being a dickhead.

He looks at the bumper and say ok we will take care of it ( said they will fix that part and also a rock chip, but we want the whole bumper repainted not just touch up paint put on it like a cheap fix)
and i talked to him about why this happened. he wouldnt answer my question the entire time except at the end when i told him i have a 10 y/o car and a 35 y/o classic car with no paint problems, he said its because my girlfriend "drives more"
I told him I heard and seen pictures of many other civics with the same problem with peeling paint, paint/clearcoat issues, and mismatched panels and he demanded that the new civics dont have any problems. He gave me this big speech about how thin the paint is and its painted to standards. I said its still unacceptable and a brand new vehicle should not have this problem. he gave me some more smart ass remarks and walked away.

My girlfriend was babysitting her cousin's son so as she was getting him in the car i told her she forgot about a rental car, so now i have to go back over and ask for a rental car for when we bring the car back. The specialist runs over and says NO you dont need a rental car. I asked him how long it will be in the shop and he says 3 days and there is no need for a rental car. I got pissed with his attitude and demanded one and he gets an even bigger attitude and says he has to talk to her since its her car.. so she flipped on him instead of me and he said we can get a rental now.

Im calling the bodyshop to which their taking the civic to, and if all their doing is a "touch up" and not repainting the bumper there is going to be hell

complete bullshit, its unacceptable for a brand new car..
