What owners say about the structure

Verbatim from NHTSA complaints, newest first
“The paint on this blue Honda Civic 2010 has been wearing away for years. There’s chips of paint missing on the hood. There is paint wear on the roof in two wide strips, on the trunk all over and the fenders. Also, the roof, when washed by auto carwash, buckles in when being dried so you can tell metal is thin. There’s definitely a defect in these civics I see them all over the place and every blue one almost has worn paint just like mine! Honda had to have done something wrong with these paint jobs, they should repaint them for free!”

“Paint has been peeling for at least 3 years and body shop told me Honda has major issues with paint on many years of vehicles. My vehicle has been serviced many times at the dealer where was purchased and no one, not dealer or Honda themselves have notified me of such re-call or warranty of this particular issue.”

“YHE WEATHERPROOFING STRIPS OF ALL MY WINDOWS ARE MELTING AND COMING OFF. ONE ALREADY DID. I DONT LIVE IN A VERY HOT CITY. IM AFRAID IT WILL ALLOW WATER TO LEAK IN DOOR AND GET TO ELECTRONICS AND MESS UP WINDOW FUNCTION. IF WINDOW GOES OUT YOU WOULDNT BE ABLE TO ROLL WINDOW DOWN IF AN EMERGENCY ARISES WHICH WOULD BE A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD. AN A RANK IN THE AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY”
