According to the man, certain details of the Honda Civic’s exterior have “melted,” and the car’s paint is peeling even though it is parked in one place.
WSB-TV reported on a family in DeKalb County, Illinois, who said that one of their cars is unusually “melting.”
According to Charles Goldberg, his daughter Elena drives the Honda Civic 2022 from university to home for a while. When not in use, the car is parked in front of their house. And recently, Goldberg discovered some unusual signs on the Honda Civic.
Specifically, certain parts of the car such as the rearview mirror and front bumper are starting to bend, while the paint is peeling.
“I’ve never seen anything like it,” Charles Goldberg told WSB-TV. “The car is deformed and looks like it’s melting.”
Both father and daughter then took the Civic to a local Honda dealer. Here, they spoke with a service advisor who explained that this damage was caused by sunlight shining through the house’s windows and focusing on the car, like a magnifying glass.
WSB-TV later investigated this issue and found that the Goldberg family is not the only ones experiencing this situation. Many Honda owners have also lodged similar complaints. A notable example is the article “Melting Honda Car.”
According to an article posted on Honda’s website in 2019, this type of damage is not covered by the warranty because the company stated that it is related to the environment, not a product issue.
“It has long been proven that converging sunlight can heat surfaces and cause damage, depending on the intensity and duration of exposure. This type of damage is not unique to Honda cars or Honda in particular. In summary, in appropriate, albeit rare, cases, reflected sunlight can cause damage to vehicles, and Honda’s warranty does not cover this type of damage,” said Chris Naughton of Honda & Acura Public Relations.
However, the Goldbergs did not accept the dealer’s answer, and they filed a complaint with Honda’s office.
