| The paint on my new honda with paint protection, literally started to blister and ulcer down to the primer level within 10 months of purchase. none of the other cars, parked in the same area, are suffering the same damage. i have had two auto body restorers look at it, as the damage has spread on the hood, and has started on the driver's side door. in one case, the ulceration has gone down to the base metal. honda and the dealership, ourisman honda, have refused to help, blame superbirds, ignore the professional opinions of the restorers, and have refused to honor both the honda and paint protection warranties. the auto restorers believe the defect is with the prep or the paint itself, and that other honda owners may be suffering from the same problem. the entire care has to be repainted at an estimated cost of $3500.*ak | |||

| Missing front bumper bolts clearly indicated my allegedly new 2001 accord's bumper had been replaced. california-honda representative visiitng the dealership said she couldn't explain how the bolts could have slipped through holes smaller than the boltheads, but that my compaint merely indicated i was unhappy with the car, or i somehow dislodged the bolts, and anyhow that was too bad. specifically, i was informed that it is not illegal to sell a new car that had been repaired. a dealership mechanic then shouted at my wife and i to get out of his busy garage. the dealership's manager (not present during the dispute) subsequently responded to my complaint with bbb by ignoring the complaint and praising his garage staff who, he assured bbb, told him everything. eventually i discovered that bbb not only rejected my complaint but also did not bother to registerit as a complaintt. wheni pointed out its omission, bbb finally noted the complaint--as the only one against this large dealership, which is a bbb member,and described the complaint as resolved. it was not. my wife, accompanying me at the garage incident though ill with pancreatic cancer, has since died, and such were times that did not encourage my pursuing either bbb or the honda dealership, located in bloomsburg, pa, for what i had supposed would be simple anwers, not defensive evasions.*ak | |||
