MY WIFE WENT TO TURN ON THE AC LAST WEEK AND FOUND THAT IT WAS BLOWING HOT AIR. TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET IT FIXED AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE A/C CONDENSER DAMAGED FROM ROCK CHIP. I WAS SPEECHLESS TO FIND THAT SUCH DAMAGE WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY DUE TO A DESIGN FLAW WITH THE FRONT BUMPER, THERE WAS NO SCREEN/GRILL PROTECTING THE CONDENSER. DESIGN FLAW I SAY AND THEY SHOULD HONOR THE WARRANTY. VEHICLE HAD 31,326 MILES ON IT. *TR

I PURCHASED MY 2008 HONDA ACCORD IN JANUARY OF 2008. AUGUST 2008, MY AIR STOPPED WORKING. I TOOK THE CAR TO HONDA DEALERSHIP AND THEY ADVISED ME THAT A ROCK OR A PEBBLE HIT THE CONDENSER AND THAT IT IS CAUSING THE FREON TO LEAK OUT. I TOOK THE CAR TO ANOTHER MECHANIC THEY ADVISED ME THAT HONDA IS JERKING MY CHAIN BECAUSE THAT IS NOT THE CASE. I TOLD THE PEOPLE AT HONDA, THAT THERE IS NOTHING PROTECTING THE CONDENSER FROM THE DEBRIS, IT IS POORLY DESIGNED ON THAT ASPECT. I TOLD THEM THAT I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED, THEY WOULD NOT TRY TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE WITH ME AT ALL. THEY ARE EXPECTING ME TO COVER THE COST FOR THIS ISSUE. *TR

I HAVE A 2008 HONDA ACCORD LX. WHEN AIR CONDITIONER COMPRESSOR CYCLES THE LIGHTS DIM AND THEN GO BACK TO NORMAL AS IF YOU WERE FLASHING YOUR HEADLIGHTS. TOOK TO DEALER AND I WAS TOLD HONDA IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT HAS NO PLANS OF A FIX. ALSO THE TRANSMISSION HAS A WHINE AT SLOW SPEED. I TOOK SERVICE MANAGER FOR TEST DRIVE. HE KEPT THE CAR OVER NIGHT AND GAVE ME A RENTAL HE ACKNOWLEDGED BOTH PROBLEMS AND ANSWER WAS THE SAME FOR BOTH. ??????????????? *TR
