Paint once again (4th time) started flaking off. This time on the rear drivers side door. Honda dealer denied TSB on earlier paint problem. Told I'm not a valued customer. Traded car.
When two months old, the right mirror was replaced. The door panel wasn't put back properly and it developed a buzzing/rattle which was fixed with a piece of duct tape and some felt pieces in and around the glove compartment. Great vehicle overall!
