Again that's the clear coat not the paint. It's the thing that bothers me most about the vehicle. And as before I would take everything negative you say about this car with a grain of salt was your clearly biased and upset with your vehicle and service.
I don't know man. We pay top premium for a vehicle that is supposed to be all about quality, and what we get is defects left and right. I like the way the car drives. It's smooth, fast, comfortable and looks nice. I added things to this car I would never normally add, like a powered subwoofer, tinted vinyl on the turn signal lights and plasti dipped the emblems. When I wash my car I complete it with a wax. I condition the leather seats. I even purchased weathertech all weather floor mats when I purchased the Accord. But I can't get over the things that are defective. I am willing to overlook a lot. But the BT issue is what has ultimately left a very sour taste in my mouth.
Again you're the only one on here who has all these defects/problems. Stop coming on here and complaining in every single thread about things you don't like about the car and sell it already. No car from any manufacturers perfect and all has things wrong with it. You can always find something you don't like about any vehicle. At this point you just sound like a mad child because you keep coming every single thread using his excuse to complain about your vehicle. You need to learn some patience because really waiting 30 seconds for your Bluetooth connect is not a big deal.
Have you read any of the posts on here? Because if you had, it is, quite literally, littered with problem posts depicting issues with this car. Branch out a little bit, check out other forums about this car. ****, look at the subreddit for this car, the issues I have described are there too, and I am not the only one that has them. Problem is, people like you that have not dealt with the issues that came with a car that cost $33k, so you just tell them to stop whining and convince us all that the problems are either not real or not important.
I read just about every post on here. And again the Bluetooth not connecting after 30 seconds and having some issues is no big deal. I have some problems connecting my Bluetooth every once in a while as well. No big deal. You're the one that chooses not to do with the issue. We've given you numerous avenues to pursue and yet you don't but still come on here and complain. We've told you to reset the entire thing, go to different dealerships, but you refuse to do any of that because it seems like you like coming on here and whining more. You think that 30 40 $50,000 Mercedes , Audi, and others don't have problems they do. When the biggest POS is I ever had was a $60,000 BMW 5 series. The cost of the vehicle is irrelevant, when there's multiple companies providing components for all of these vehicles. On top of that when you're producing things that a mass scale like this things go wrong. Now you're going to about every single post someone makes the past 2 days, and complain about your vehicle in it. And again there are many people on here who have given you alternatives to explore and you haven't, so at some point the blame falls on you. Any issues I have I do with personally. If I had to go to the junkyard and get a new Bluetooth module and see if it works, and then go back to Honda and charge them I would do it. If I needed to go to a different dealership to get the car fixed I would do it, I have done it. I've gone out of state to buy a vehicle cuz the dealership wouldn't deal here.At any rate stop going everyone else's posts and whining grow up.
Yeah this is exactly what I was talking about. You don't have the issues, so you downplay them. Oh your BT takes 30 seconds to connect, but not 5 minutes like mine does.
Says the man who just listed all his gripes again and keeps replying lol. I have responded in many of your posts I know what you have done and not done. Honda doesn't make the battery that went dead. And literally EVERYONE gets a dead battery. You had a rattle they fixed it so what. Every new car I have ever owned needed something attended to after purchase. So basically you went to the dealership twice for minor issues and that were covered under warranty, because that's why it's there. After going the third time for the bt and they would not fix it, I would not keep going back there. Especially after you complain how bad they treat you and refuse to fix it because it's considered normal.
Stop making excuses for Honda. When I took my Accord to the dealership, the mechanics even said that the batteries Honda uses are trash and its not uncommon for them to need replacing every year or two. And yet, they continue to use that type of battery. I mean, if the warranty covers it, then whatever. The dealership reset my head unit, which did nothing to solve the issue, as I stated earlier. Perhaps you have all the time in the world to be driving around from one dealership to another, I don't. As I stated earlier, I refuse to go above and beyond the extra mile for resolving an issue Honda refuses to acknowledge. Also, the rattling continued despite the foam Honda sprayed, as I mentioned in my earlier post.
I never said Honda only uses one coat of clear I said they're clear soft. Yes I have Bluetooth issues just right now, and you know what I did? I scrolled down to the Bluetooth section of my phone clicked on Honda hands-free link and in 2 seconds it connected. No big deal. Taking your car to a different dealership is not going above and beyond. You may not have all the time in the world, but you obviously have time to take it to a dealership since you've been to the same one seven times. Every car from every manufacturer has its quirks and will have things you don't like and that you learn to live with. Not just Honda. It doesn't make Honda a poor company. There's a reason why they have the third and fourth best selling vehicles in the world. Have a good week and rest of your ownership Cheers
The clear coat is garbage. Every time a bird craps on my car it leaves a permanent spot that can't be removed. I have a 2018 Honda accord 2.0 exl with Obsidian Blue paint that shows swirl marks and scratches all over the car. The clear coat is so soft and scratches real easy. When I first purchased my car which was a left over 2018, the car must have been in the lot for months. It was covered with bird droppings that the dealer tried to remove and couldn't. I had to cancel the car and get it from another dealer. The car I finally got had one bird dropping spot on it that also could not be removed, but it was small so I took the car.
What would some preventative measures be?
Agree ceramic coating is good but it does require some maintenance and it has to be reapplied every 3 - 5 years. It is also can be expensive to have applied correctly/professionally.
Does ceramic coating make your paint look better or just simply offers protection? I drive a new honda accord that is black and it constantly looks dirty. Just want some advice on keep it clean and what waxes to use too.
