Consumer Description

I PURCHASED MY SECOND HONDA AUTOMOBILE THREE MONTHS AGO: A BRAND NEW 2011 HONDA FIT WITH LESS THAN 10 MILES ON IT. JUST DROVE TO DALLAS TO SEE MY GRANDKIDS AND COMING BACK, THE AIR CONDITIONING WENT OUT. I TOOK IT INTO DON CARLTON HONDA THIS MORNING - AND THEY ARE TELLING ME THAT A "ROCK MUST HAVE GONE THROUGH THE GRILL" AND PUNCTURED A HOLE IN THE COMPRESSOR - THE COST? $780!!! NOW, AFTER RESEARCHING ON THE INTERNET, I FIND THAT THIS HAS BEEN A COMPLAINT SINCE 2009. I HESITATE TO CALL THIS A "RACKET" BUT HELLO???? I EVEN DISCOVERED THAT SOME PEOPLE HAVE TO RIG A SCREEN TO PREVENT THE ROCKS FROM COMING INTO THE ENGINE. THIS IS A DEFECT IN THE DESIGN THAT NEEDS TO BE FIXED. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW MANY TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS HAVE BEEN ISSUED REGARDING THIS DEFECT. TO HAVE A 3 MONTH OLD 2011 AUTOMOBILE HAVE TO HAVE AIR CONDITIONING REPLACEMENT IS OUTRAGEOUS. I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW HONDA SO THAT I WOULD NOT HAVE REPAIR BILLS ON MY LIMITED INCOME. *TR
