THE CLEAR COAT IS PEELING. STARTED ON THE ROOF. THEN THE TRUNK NOW IT APPEARS THE HOOD MAY BE STARTING. I KEPT THIS CAR WELL MAINTAINED AND THERE WAS NO GOOD REASON FOR THE CLEAR COAT TO START TO PEEL. HONDA GAVE ME $500 IN "LOYALTY CASH". I HAVE SEEN THIS PROBLEM ON NUMEROUS OTHER HONDA ACCORDS DATING TO THE EARLY 2000'S. WHEN IT FIRST STARTED I THOUGHT IT WAS DUE TO USING CAR WASHES.

NOTHING HAS HAPPENED. YET. AROUND 5/22 MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON. ON 5/29 I HAD MY MECHANIC SCAN THE COMPUTER. WHAT CAME UP IS TRANSMISSION ISSUES. HE TOLD ME THAT MOST LIKELY IT WILL NEED TO BE REBUILT OR REPLACED. SO FAR THERE ARE NO BEHAVIORAL SYMPTOMS, ONLY THE WARNING LIGHT AND THE COMPUTER READING. I WILL HAVE TO TAKE THE CAR IN FOR AN EXTENDED TEST BEFORE KNOWING THE FULL EXTENT OF THE DAMAGE. MEANWHILE, I AM DRIVING A VEHICLE THAT COULD KILL ME OR OTHERS AT ANY TIME IF THE TRANSMISSION SEIZES UP IN AN INOPPORTUNE SETTING AND TIME. *TR
