I own a 2014 Honda Civic and am the second owner of the vehicle. Over time, I’ve started noticing paint peeling from multiple areas: the front and rear windshields and along the roof trim edges. This isn’t regular wear and tear—it’s clearly a defect in the paint quality.
I contacted Honda customer service, and they referred me to a local authorized service center—Kardelen Honda in Diyarbakır. However, when I spoke to them and explained the issue, I was told that they do not acknowledge paint defects beyond six years, regardless of the cause.

This is crucial information for anyone considering a used Honda Civic over six years old—expect paint issues, and expect to cover the repair costs yourself.

I bought a Honda Civic on August 4, 2023, and it cost me a huge ₺1,704,000. I noticed some problems with the paint on the bumper just three months after I got it. When I brought it to the service center, they just casually told me that there was nothing they could do. And if that wasn't bad enough, ...
