Civic - Honda :: 2008 - Paint Clear Coat Cracking?
The paint is starting to get cracks on the hood and fenders of my 2008 Honda civic its dark blue with 43,700 miles the dealer said the warranty for paint is 36 months or 36,000 miles. They said its the clear coat and the black and dark blue paint has been doing this.He is checking with Honda to see if they will paint the hood and fenders for me.I feel that in time the rest of the car will get these cracks to and they should repaint the entire car, since they admitted that it is a problem with the clear coat.The car is always garaged and waxed often.What do you think

My MY2012 Passat 2.5 SE currently at 37k miles all of a sudden is showing clear coat peeling near the trunk/rear panel area. Car is a CPO and clean carfax (no accidents) and currently still under warranty. Planning on taking it back to the dealership and hopefully start a case for warranty work under VWoA.
I've never encountered clearcoat failure this early on, case in point my B5 (MY1999) still has excellent clear coat uniformity despite the paint/body being 17+ years old.

Seems like the clear coat on both of my headlights is starting to get milky. Whatever is going on, it is happening from the outside. I buffed on them with scratch remover and put a coat of wax on them, (looks a little better now) but there is something going on.

I'm planning on doing a paint correction on my car and was wondering if I need to be concerned on how much clear coat will come off during the process? I'm going to be washing and claying it beforehand and using a dual action polisher for removing the existing swirls and micro scratches. It's a black car if that makes any difference. The reason I ask is that I'm not a detailer but have heard that some of the modern autos don't have that much clear coat on top of the paint or that some areas (like the edges) don't have clear coat compared to other areas. I also bought the car used (its about 3-4 years old) so I don't know its washing history.

Camry 2012+ :: Unlock SE V6 By Just Touching Door Handle
I have a quick question regarding the ability to unlock my SE V6 by just touching the door handle... Might be a dumb one so brace yourselves... If one were to go and say have the passenger of the vehicle tap the passenger side front door handle will that unlock the car in the same regards as touching the drivers door handle? For example if I were putting something in the trunk and had the FOB in my pocket and the passenger wanted to get in but I still had the FOB could they unlock the car the same way I would with the driver's door? My car does not allow the passenger to unlock the doors. Can it be programmed to have this work? Furthermore, is there a way to program the drivers door handle to unlock all the doors instead of just the drivers side door?
View 11 RepliesCamry 2012+ :: Front Doors Will Not Unlock Using Key Fobs Nor By Touching Door Handles
The drivers side and passenger side doors will not unlock using my key fobs, nor by touching the door handles. The only thing that happens when I touch the front passenger door handle is that the back doors will unlock. I have to enter my car through the back doors, and unlock the front doors manually. Also, by touching the passenger door handle, I get a series of beeps (3-5). What may be causing this, and how to fix it?

I was out and about yesterday running errands and I had to parallel park my car. Well, I got in my spot fine and I was sitting in my car getting some packages ready to be dropped off at the post office. About a minute, after I parked, I saw someone attempting to park in the spot in front of me and she couldn't do it. She attempted it 5 times, all while I'm sitting in my car, worried that she's going to hit my car.
So on what was her last attempt, she backed up dangerously close to my car causing me to reverse further, forgetting that there was a high curb next to me. I gave it a little too much gas and I scratched the crap (4 inch x 1 inch) out of my bumper/side. How to fix this without breaking the bank unnecessarily? .

Wife just purchased a 2013 Toyota Camry LE with 32,000 miles on it. Great looking car.Tried to use the aux input to play some music from my iPhone. Immediately noticed that on the first song I played, some of the vocals were missing (only played the music). Went to the next song and had the vocals but something still wasn't right (it was missing certain parts of the music that accompanied the song). Also in general the sound quality wasn't great compared to the audio input on my truck.
