I bought my accord brand new and literally 1 month after the chrome trim on the grill started to bubble up and peel. It was promptly taken care of by the dealer.

After some snow fell, I noticed some frozen water marks on the front grill. But when I went to clean it it was bubbles coming out of the chrome grill. This is crazy - I never had a car with a front grill that acted like tints.

Just noticed bad bubbling on the "chrome" on my front bumper. It looks terrible. Gonna take it in and demand they fix it.

It looked terrible. It sucks that I found out it wasn’t real chrome. It was cheaply made.

Annoying that we didn't notice the defect until after the contract was signed (but before we drove off the lot). The dealer has been helpful in remedying the issue.
