After buying a new plug and coil and discovering that the new plug would not thread in I bought the Helicoil spark plug thread repair kit. Seems to be working fine. I was the last one in there, replaced the plugs at least 30k miles ago, so this was pretty surprising. Glad I didn't need to take the head off!

I tried Seafoam to see if the oil control rings were gunked up but had no success. A compression test didn't reveal anything either- 180-185psi across all 4 holes. Sold the car, bought a 4Runner.

Honda USA refused to do anything about it. My local dealer did notice same problem on a number of Hondas they have been servicing. They agreed to pay more than 1/3 of the cost for a Honda OEM complete paint job on our vehicle. Paint shop said it would take approx. 3 weeks, car had to be stripped down to bare metal and then paint and applications etc would follow just as if car was being painted at Honda factory. I was told this was a silent recall by another paint shop, from a manager whos daughter had same make, model and year car I have. He kicked up some dust and Honda paid for the entire paint job. I was not so lucky, but I am not complaining either. I have a niece who has a 2013 CR-V, Black in color and it is having the same problems with the paint as our 2003...
