NHTSA Complaint #10330597 — 2009 HONDA CIVIC

WITHIN A MONTH OF PURCHASING A 2009 HONDA CIVIC IN NOVEMBER 2009, MY AC STOPPED WORKING. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT A ROCK HIT MY AC CONDENSER. I WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY 700 DOLLARS TO FIX IT. WHILE DOING SOME RESEARCH, I FOUND OUT THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO PLENTY OF OTHER HONDA OWNERS. I WENT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND TOLD THEM ABOUT THE PLENTY OF OTHER HONDA OWNERS WHO SUFFERED THE SAME PROBLEM. I WAS STILL TOLD THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR IT. WHEN PLENTY OF PEOPLE HAVE SUFFERED THE SAME PROBLEM, THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A DESIGN FLAW AND WE SHOULD NOT BE PUNISHED FOR IT AND HAVE TO PAY 700 DOLLARS TO FIX IT. I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO FIX THIS FOR ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF. *TR
