Consumer Description

A ROCK CAME THROUGH THE GRILLE OF A 2009 HONDA CIVIC DAMAGING THE A/C CONDENSER. THE VEHICLE IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY BUT IT IS NOT COVERED BECAUSE THE ROCK CAUSED THE DAMAGE. ACCORDING TO THE DEALER THEY SEE THIS ALL THE TIME. A SIMPLE SEARCH ON THE INTERNET BRINGS UP LOTS OF LINKS FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM FOR HONDA, AND VERY FEW FOR OTHER CAR MAKERS. APPARENTLY THEY CHANGED THE GRILLE DESIGN ON THE ODYSSEY TO LESSEN THE CHANCES OF A ROCKS COMING THROUGH THE GRILLS. TO ME IT APPEARS TO BE A DESIGN FLAW. *TR
