Consumer Description

THE A/C CONDENSER IS EXTREMELY EXPOSED TO DAMAGE FROM ROAD DEBRIS. THERE ARE "VENTS" WHICH LIE BELOW THE LICENSE PLATE HOLDER NEAR THE ROAD, WIDE ENOUGH TO FIT A FIST AND THE LENGTH OF THE FRONT BUMPER. THIS ALLOWS ALL KINDS OF ROAD DEBRIS TO ENTER AND HIT THE A/C CONDENSER ONLY INCHES BEHIND THE OPENING. THIS DAMAGE HAS BEEN REPORTED ON A NUMBER OF WEBSITES FROM MODEL YEAR 2008 TO 2011. A SIMILAR ISSUE HAS ALSO BEEN REPORTED IN A NUMBER OF OTHER HONDA CAR MODELS, INCLUDING THE CR-V AND THE ODYSSEY, WHICH RESULTED IN A SUCCESSFUL CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. HONDA, HOWEVER, STILL DOES NOT PROVIDE A GRILL OR OTHER FORM OF PROTECTION DESPITE THE REPORTED PROBLEM AND DOES NOT COVER THE REPAIRS WITH THEIR BUMPER TO BUMPER OR HONDA CARE WARRANTIES. *TR
