Consumer Description

IN 2006 WITH 66000 MILES AND UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS THE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM STARTED TO GIVE OFF BURNING SMELL WHICH CAUSED HEADACHES AND NAUSEA BEFORE THE SYSTEM FAILED COMPLETELY. A/C COMPRESSOR WAS FOUND TO HAVE FAILED AND IT WAS REPLACED. THEN IN AUGUST 2013 WITH 95000 MILES THE UNIT FAILED AGAIN WITH THE SAME ISSUE AND SAME TOXIC FUMES. AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE HEALTH IMPACT OF THIS ESPECIALLY DUE TO THE FREQUENCY OF THIS FAILURE. RESEARCH HAS SHOWN THAT THIS COMPONENT IS OF INADEQUATE DESIGN AND HONDA LOST A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT DUE TO FREQUENT FAILURES. THIS FAILURE RATE, WHILE NOT IMPACTING THE SAFETY OF THE CAR, DOES HAVE POTENTIAL HEALTH HAZARDS FOR THE OCCUPANTS BEYOND REASONABLE RISK. *JB
