Thanks for the info. If you could take some pictures and post to Flickr like I mentioned in the post, that would help our cause!

Thanks for literally continuing to \"drive\" forward with this. I appreciate you listing out the steps that you have taken. Have you posted your car photos to Flickr and tagged them appropriately? Be sure to let us know how it all goes! I wish that I had time to pursue the way you are.

Please do take pictures to document and follow my instructions on posting to Flickr with the appropriate tags. I definitely think that there was something wrong with the clear coat application and people need to know.

Yes the interface is actually quite good. I'm hoping to do a review of the Harmony in the future.

Awesome! Thanks for posting those pictures. It looks like your hasn't gotten as far as mine has. There is nothing that you can do though at this point to prevent it from worsening. Please be sure to share the link of my original blog post with other Accord owners and the idea for tagging flickr photos with others. Slowly, we are starting to get some traction here. The more posters and the more photos, the better!

Thanks for the followup. Another reader of mine works in the media and contacted the local NBC affiliate to see if they could do a piece on it. That is the other direction that you might want to try as well. I haven't heard from them yet though...

Thanks for the note! If you can, take some pictures of your paint job/clear coat peeling and post to flickr. I listed out some tags that you can associate with the pictures so that we can start linking them. It's really sad, isn't it? Honda's are usually such great cars. They run great and hold value. But with this clear coat issue, there doesn't seem to be any value being held. It is truly embarrassing!

You should take some pictures of those and upload them to Flickr. I just listed some tags you could use so that hopefully we can start linking all of these together.

Thanks for that comment. I just uploaded the photos from that post to Flickr (see link at the end of the article). Upload pictures of your car issues as well and use the tags that I suggested. Thanks for spreading the word as well!

I just checked with them and they said that the code is working but you need to create a user account and log in and THEN apply the code. Please let me know if it works!

Thanks for adding your comment. I'm not sure what can be done, that is why I'm trying to start sort of a grass roots awareness campaign on the blogosphere and twittersphere. If you can, please pass the link around, via Digg and/or twitter. Hopefully some Honda exec will see this and realize that it is important to listen to their customers.

Here is another tip when traveling (something my wife does religiously). When you go to a hotel room, the first thing you should do before you do anything else is get out those disinfectant wipes and wipe the following items: - Phone - Counters - Handles - Remote Controls Hotel rooms are much dirtier than you would even imagine. And keep kids off the floors! -HTD

Thanks! I think these same practices can be implemented in a place of work as well (perhaps not all of them, but many).

Yes, it's easy to miss. I think I'm going to start using highlighting more frequently. Sometimes you just want the \"short version.\"

You could try the online version (there is a link in the review). For the free version, there are some qualifications that you need to meet. Read the text that I have highlighted (scroll down on the page to see yellow and green highlights): http://awurl.com/IrmTBh5Cu Visio is good but Balsalmiq is better!
