CLEARCOAT AND PAINT SEPARATION SYSTEMATIC DEFECT WITH CERTAIN HONDAS PAINTED WITH GREEN PAINT. MY HONDA IS A 1997 HONDA 4-DOOR ACCORD LX WITH APPROXIMATELY 41,800 MILES. THE CLEAR COAT AND PAINT HAVE SEPARATED ON CERTAIN AREAS OF THE HONDA TO INCLUDE THE HOOD AND RIGHT SIDE DOOR. THE HONDA DEALER, ED VOYLES HONDA, MARIETTA, GEORGIA, PAINT MANAGER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT HONDA HAS HAD A PERSISTENT PROBLEM WITH THIS COLOR OF GREEN PAINT WHICH IS WIDESPREAD TO OTHER HONDA VEHICLES ALSO. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS RESEARCHING THE WEBSITE UNDER "DEFECTIVE HONDA AUTOMOBILE PAINT." HONDA ACKNOWLEDGES THIS WIDESPREAD PROBLEM BUT FAILS TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM BY REPAINTING THE VEHICLES. THEREFORE, HONDA WILL NOT REPAINT THIS SYSTEMATIC DEFECT IN SO MANY HONDAS PAINTED GREEN. *TR
