i've read about this happening to someone else. just take it to the dealer

 

Yea, I'm almost due for my first oil change, so I'll deal with it then. Trust me, after my last car (a POS Mazda6), a problem like this is NOTHING!

 

What type of problems with the Mazda 6? Was a car my sister was considering

 

I just got my '09 Si sedan and I have the same thing. Mine has more white light showing then yours but it looks like the same problem. I told them about it on my way home from the dealership and they told me to bring it in. Keep us updated, I'm interested in what they say the problem is.

 

Here are some pics of mine, I was bored.

 

Mine is chipping, too...I'm taking it in on Thursday morning.

 

I'm sorry but WTF? I got rid of my car at 2.5 years but seriously? What the hell is that? Did Honda honest to god put a cover on the display? WTF? Sorry, guys. I'm pissed. Wth kind of cheap crap is that?

OMFG. See? $21,000 for a car and they can't even bother to make a true color display? Cryst.

[Rant]If that is the amount of effort they can put forward, I'm done. No more Honda products. I don't even think Chrysler is that cheap.

[/Rant]

 

It's not a cover. It's a flaw in the screen itself. Looks like any jacked up LCD screen you would see on a cell phone or notebook. When the car is off, you can't tell anything is wrong.

 

I think it's the polarized sheet they put on top of the LCD...

 

Just noticed this "peeling" tonight. 09-Si. I have it peeling from the edge and also a small "speck" from the middle of the display. Looks like a rock peck.

Must say I'm quite disapointed in Honda on this one. I've never even heard of this happening in a car.
My concern is what they must take apart to fix this issue. I do not want them taking the dash apart. I can only imagine the scratches, trim misalignment, and new rattles once I get it back.

For those of you getting this fixed. Please let us know how they went about fixing it.

 

This is true. Now I'm worried about them ripping into my dash to fix it. SOB! I wonder if I should call American Honda...?

 

my radio display is doing the same thing, ill take mine to the dealer next week.

 

I was lucky to get my radio swapped out yesterday. I brought in my car in the morning and they said the radio would have to be ordered. The service guy said he'll try to get one next-day, but he wasn't sure. Turns out, there's a "national back order" on them. Luckily, someone had ordered a radio for the same problem and it had arrived at the dealer. Some strings were pulled and they installed the radio into my Si.

I think mine started peeling after direct-sun exposure when I mistakenly left the sunroof open while I was at the beach last weekend... I mean, I would've noticed the glaring bright white corner of the screen at night.

 

Taking my car in this weekend after I take off my volks.

 

I have the same thing...
'09 FA5

 

Problem here too. on a date and girl pointed it out.. how embarrassing haha.

 

that suckss!!!!

i just got my 09 fg2 two months ago and its happening to me too =(
i noticed it like a month ago but didn't really make much of it, BUT IT'S SPREADING!!! should i take it to the dealer now, wait for a major recall, wait for the 2010 civics to come out, or something else? =( this sucks!!

oh yea i have one question: when people say "take it to the dealer" do they mean take it to the dealer you bought the car from or take it to any honda dealer? there's a honda dealership really close to me, but i didnt buy my si from there..

 

What the hell happened from 08 to 09?

 

the stereo was obviously updated for 09. sucks that the civics are still getting little problems like this. and for those of you scared to take apart the dash to fix this issue, you can't just wave a magic wand and make it go away. the dash WILL be taken apart to replace the stereo.

 

Wow, interesting...

 

just got mine replaced honda said it was melting in the corners and replace it with no problem

 

i had the same problem. 09 si. just take it to the dealer and they will replace it no questions asked. they will order you a new radio and install it. i brought mine in and had it replaced and as far as the people worrying about them ripping into your dash mine looks the exact same as it did before i brought it in. no scratches or rattling

 

thats a relief to hear that. i just knew there would probably be rattles.

 

haha wow i wont let anyone touch my car and i paid for it.. if i built the mfer no1 better even look at it wrong. good job though.. looks good!

 

not sure what you mean by that. if you mean that you wouldn't buy a salvaged car, the savings was WELL worth it.

 

no i saying i am anal about my car and i bought it new.. if i bought and built a car like you did my analness would be insane! and then i said GOOD JOB! on the work you have done.

 

so all i have to do is call the dealer and they will replace it for me for FREE??????

 

yes boss

 

bump lol

 

Mine just started peeling, and I use sun visors / closed sun roof etc. I think Houston's late temps of 104 are just to much for the radio...

More importantly, has anyone who had theirs replaced had this happen repeatedly or did they fix newer ones?


-m

 

I just got mine replaced 4 days ago. Gonna have to wait and see if it comes back.

 

same **** with me...
i have blue 09 fa5

my friends white 09 fa5 is having the same issue.
but i dont mid because im going to change the radio anyways
