2012 Honda Accord 4dr Sedan

190-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD

10900 mi Power sunroof would not close 
6500 mi Clear coat on rear skirt/ bumper cover had become delaminated and peeled off. Required the bumper to be reprinted and re-clear coated. 
12000 mi The paint had some odd lines near the left rear fender on the rear bumper cover, and in the middle of the trunk. Clear coat damage was expected, but upon arriving at the dealer, application of a buffing compound and wax removed the lines. A piece of rubber gasket was hanging out of the tail light reflector on the left side of the trunk lid. Dealer attempted to tuck in, but it flapped back out on the drive home. Update: later just clipped it. 
38100 mi Had rust on all door checks and in trunk (small spots, nothing structural). After pulling some teeth and contacting corporate, Honda agreed to cover completely. Work was done at a Honda Pro First shop.
