The paint has begun to peel and delaminate, particularly on the roof and other panels, exposing bare metal. As a result, the exposed areas are now beginning to rust.  Honda issued a Service Bulletin covering this issue for seven years from the original in-service date. However, I am not the original owner, and by the time I discovered the issue, the paint had already begun to deteriorate, and I was told I do not qualify for coverage under the extended paint warranty.  This defect appears to be a manufacturer issue related specifically to the White Orchid Pearl paint, which has been widely reported on multiple Honda and Acura models. Honda is aware of this problem but has not offered consistent support to all affected vehicles and owners, especially those who are second-hand buyers, despite the fact that the defect originated from factory-applied paint and is unrelated to ownership.  I believe this issue warrants further investigation due to the frequency of complaints, the potential for structural corrosion, and the financial burden on owners. I urge the NHTSA to formally investigate and consider action that will compel Honda to support all affected vehicles, regardless of ownership history. Photos of damage and rust progression are available upon request.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2018","productMake":"HONDA","productModel":"FIT","manufacturer":"Honda (American Honda Motor Co.)"}]}]}
