Selected complaints filed with NHTSA by 2019 Honda Accord owners, lightly cleaned up (personal details are redacted by NHTSA).
Paint on top of the hood is peeling and causing rust. Upon talking to 2 different paint and body shops, I was informed they have had other Honda owners with pearl white paint come in for same issue. I took my car to local Honda dealership and they informed me there is no recall on this paint so they can't do anything. However, when doing google search there have been numerous issues with Honda paint. As someone who paid thousands of dollars for car, getting maintenance only at Honda dealerships and not getting in any accidents, now I have problem that costs thousands of dollars and there's no responsibility from manufacturer. Someone needs to address this issue

1. The AEB system activated on a clear road with no visible obstacles in sight. The car showed "Brake" message and braked by itself. Fortunately there was no car immediately behind me, so there was no collision. 2. While parked, with the keys untouched, the truck opened by itself. This has happened on more than one occasion.
The paint on my Champagne 2019 Honda Accord is rusting around the wheel well and on the gas tank door. I've only had this car for 2 years and it should not be happening. I see other complaints about this that aren't being rectified. .

While I was on the way home from work, I waited for the broken yellow line to pass 2 cars in front of me, when I was midway through passing both of them, the second car in line wanted to pass the car in front as well but did not look to see that I was already passing and right beside him, and jerked over and hit the side of me which caused me then to spin out of control and Land in a ravine. The entire front side of my vehicle is coming off and I was jerked around in the car, but no airbag in the backseats nor driver seat came out, and my daughters car seat was flipped towards the window so thank god she was not in the vehicle when this happened.
On June 15,2020 I washed my car and discovered that the paint on the hood was peeling off. I then took the car to the dealer and they took a picture and sent to Honda corporate. I also faxed my complaint letter to the Honda customer service on 6/18/2020. 6/22/2020 customer service called back and concluded that the peeling paint is not manufacturing defect. Honda refused to provide any written explanation as to why they denied fixing the paint issue when asked for one. A year-old cat's paint should not be peeling off this easily. I own 2 other older Honda vehicles and have had no paint issues. I just discovered that there are numerous complaints in the internet of this paint issues with Honda vehicles 2018-2019. My vehicle is under 5000 miles.
My vehicle is 3 months old. I noticed about a month ago one crease above the driver side passenger door, in the frame piece that is between the door and door. Typically this is where it creases in accidents for safety. A week or so later another one showed up and how there are 3 and I see a 4th starting. There are no marks just the crease. They seem to be in a line all along the driver side piece above the doors. It is as if the frame of vehicle's body is folding in. Again, as if it was creasing for the safety in an accident. I am not sure what to do and how long I wait for this. I am nervous the vehicle could start to become unsafe. I have slowly been noticing more and more appearing along that same line. Help please.
Back windshield leaked. A third of the seal was not installed and water leaked into roof liner in car. Leaked from rain and car wash. Suspension clunks and makes noise like an old car. Vehicle in shop almost 30 days 1st year, at least 18 consecutive. Dealer recommended vehicle be bought back due to issues but Honda regional mechanic came in and said tha'ts just how they ride. Car still rides like an old truck over bumps. No satisfaction as far as I'm concerned.
Clear coat is peeling off of the right (passenger) front fender. Clear coat is peeling off of the right (passenger) side front bumper cover. Clear coat is peeling/bubbling off the trunk in two different locations. First noticed at ~ 700 miles. Bought vehicle brand new from wetzel Honda in richmond indiana with 44 miles on the vehicle at delivery.
