Consumer Description

1. ACCORDING TO THE MECHANIC, A RANDOM ROAD PEBBLE PUT A HOLE IN OUR CAR'S AIR CONDITIONER CONDENSER UNIT. 2. THE AIR CONDITIONING UNIT DOES NOT WORK; 3. THE DEALER SAYS THE DAMAGE IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND WILL COST $800 TO REPLACE THE CONDENSER. WE HAVE NOT REPLACED THE UNIT AS WE FEEL THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW THAT SHOULD BE COVERED BY THE CAR MANUFACTURER. BASED ON OUR RESEARCH, THIS IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM AMONG HONDA VEHICLES. *TR
