Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2005 HONDA ACCORD WITH FAIRLY LOW MILEAGE. THE A/C STOPPED WORKING SO I BROUGHT IT TO A HONDA DEALER WHILE IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. THEY FOUND THAT THERE IS A PINHOLE IN THE CONDENSER AND WILL NOT FIX THE PROBLEM BECAUSE IT WAS DUE TO A ROAD HAZARD. I FEEL THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW. THE CONDENSER IS LOCATED 18 INCHES ABOVE THE GROUND AND THERE IS NOT PROTECTION FOR IT AT ALL. IT IS COMMON FOR A CAR TO HIT SMALL PEBBLES AT THIS LOCATION AND THERE SHOULD BE SOME SORT OF PROTECTION. I AM STUCK WITH A FAIRLY NEW CAR AND A $700 BILL TO FIX A DESIGN FLAW!! *TR
