Consumer Description

MY A/C COMPRESSOR EXPLODED AT AROUND 47,000 MILES SENDING SHARDS OF METAL THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE COOLING/HEATING SYSTEM. I WAS TOLD IT WOULD COST ABOUT $3000 TO REPAIR. THAT IS NOT A CASE OF NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. THE PART IS FAULTY. IT EXPLODED. HONDA SAYS IT'S NOT THEIR FAULT, SOMETIMES PARTS WEAR OUT. *TR
