Consumer Description

CONDENSER FAILURE-2003 HONDA ACCORD- MY WIFE JUST INFORMED ME THE OTHER DAY THE A/C WASN'T WORKING. I CHECKED OUT THE RELAY AND IT'S JUST FINE SO I SEARCHED ON THE INTERNET TO SEE IF OTHERS HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE AND CAME ACROSS SEVERAL POSTINGS ABOUT THE CONDENSER AND ROAD DEBRIS. WELL AFTER LOOKING AT THE FRONT OF THE CAR DIRECTLY AT THE CONDENSER I COULD SEE THAT IT WAS PRETTY WELL HAGGARD FROM ROCKS AND OTHER CRAP. I DID NOTICE AN AREA TO THE UPPER LEFT SIDE THAT WAS WET FROM A LEAK, MORE THAN LIKELY IT IS FREON. JUDGING BY THE MASS-OPEN HOLES IN THE PLASTIC BENEATH THE BUMPER, IT IS NO WONDER THAT IS WAS DAMAGED! HONDA HAS A MAJOR DESIGN FLAW GOING ON HERE AND WE ARE ALL SUFFERING THE CONSEQUENCES. THIS IS B.S. THAT WE ARE STUCK FOOTING THE BILL FOR A CAR THAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE THE MOST RELIABLE CAR ON THE ROAD. *TR
