HAVE HAD THROTTLE BODY REPLACED UNDER MANUFACTURERS WARRANTY AT APPROX. 15,000 MILES. CAR LOSES POWER WHILE DRIVING AND THIS COULD BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS IF ON HIGH WAY. SEVERAL TIMES THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME WHERE A/C SYSTEM SHUTS DOWN AND BLOWS HOT AND VEHICLE CUTS POWER AND I NEARLY WAS REAR -ENDED AS I HAD TO PULL OVER AT SPEED ON FREEWAY. HONDA DOES NOT ACCEPT PROBLEM BUT BY THREATENING LEGAL ACTION WAS ABLE TO HAVE THEM "FIX' THE SYSTEM SO IT WON'T RECUR. AM HOWEVER VERY DIS-SATISFIED WITH HONDA'S CLEAR DENIAL OF THIS ISSUE WHICH ONE DAY WILL CAUSE MULTIPLE DEATHS IF NO RECALL IS ISSUED AS THEY DON'T ACKNOWLEDGE ISSUE AND FIND A SOLUTION. *TR

AC QUIT WORKING AND TOOK IT TO DEALER. THEY SAID THAT A "PRISTINE" PEBBLE HAD DESTROYED THE CONDENSER, AND THAT IT WAS NOT A MECHANICAL ERROR SO IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY. I BELIEVE THAT THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS REPORTED OF SIMILAR OCCURRENCES PROVES THAT IT IS A MECHANICAL ERROR DUE TO POOR ENGINEERING. OF THE PLACEMENT OF THE AC CONDENSER. THERE ARE HUGE OPENINGS BENEATH THE FRONT BUMPER THAT LET ROAD DEBRIS & ROCKS IN WITHOUT ANY PROTECTION. THE AC CONDENSER IS "RIGHT THERE" WITH A SCREEN OR ANYTHING TO PROTECT IT. BESIDES THE AC NOT WORKING AND HONDA OWNERS HAVING TO SHELL OUT 700-800 TO GET THE CONDENSER REPLACED, THE INITIAL IMPACT BY A ROCK TO THE CONDENSER EMPTIES THE FREON OUT INTO THE ATMOSPHERE! *TR

CONDENSER FAILURE-2003 HONDA ACCORD- MY WIFE JUST INFORMED ME THE OTHER DAY THE A/C WASN'T WORKING. I CHECKED OUT THE RELAY AND IT'S JUST FINE SO I SEARCHED ON THE INTERNET TO SEE IF OTHERS HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE AND CAME ACROSS SEVERAL POSTINGS ABOUT THE CONDENSER AND ROAD DEBRIS. WELL AFTER LOOKING AT THE FRONT OF THE CAR DIRECTLY AT THE CONDENSER I COULD SEE THAT IT WAS PRETTY WELL HAGGARD FROM ROCKS AND OTHER CRAP. I DID NOTICE AN AREA TO THE UPPER LEFT SIDE THAT WAS WET FROM A LEAK, MORE THAN LIKELY IT IS FREON. JUDGING BY THE MASS-OPEN HOLES IN THE PLASTIC BENEATH THE BUMPER, IT IS NO WONDER THAT IS WAS DAMAGED! HONDA HAS A MAJOR DESIGN FLAW GOING ON HERE AND WE ARE ALL SUFFERING THE CONSEQUENCES. THIS IS B.S. THAT WE ARE STUCK FOOTING THE BILL FOR A CAR THAT IS...

CONDENSOR ON MY HONDA ACCORD BROKE BECAUSE OF A ROCK ON THE STREET HITTING IT AND BREAKING IT. THIS WAS A DESIGN FLAW, AND I AM TOLD IT WAS NOT COVERED BY MY WARRANTY, EVEN THOUGH I PAID AN EXTRA $1200 FOR AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. APPARENTLY ,THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE HONDA AS I FOUND OUT WHILE RESEARCHING ON THE INTERNET. THIS SHOULD BE RECTIFIED BY HONDA - I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH ANY OTHER VEHICLE. *AK
