Consumer Description

AN OBJECT, MOST LIKELY ROAD DEBRIS LIKE ROCKS OR PEBBLES, IMPACTED THE A/C CONDENSER CAUSING THE A/C TO LEAK RENDERING THE SYSTEM INOPERABLE. DUE TO HONDA'S DESIGN OF THE FRONT BUMPER, THE A/C CONDENSER IS COMPLETELY EXPOSED TO DEBRIS. IN ORDER TO FIX THE PROBLEM THE CONDENSER MUST BE REPLACED WHICH WOULD COST AN ESTIMATED BILL OF CLOSE TO $1000 IN PARTS AND LABOR. EVEN AFTER THE FIX, THE CONDENSER STILL REMAINS EXPOSED AND THE LIKELIHOOD OF THIS EVENT HAPPENING AGAIN REMAINS HIGH DUE TO THE DESIGN OF THE FRONT BUMPER. THIS PROBLEM WAS OBVIOUSLY FIXED BY HONDA IN THE 2008 YEAR BY INSTALLING A "HONEYCOMB" TYPE GRILLE TO COVER THIS AREA TO REDUCE THE CHANCE OF DEBRIS IMPACTING THE CONDENSER. *TR
