APPARENTLY, I AM ONE IN A LONG LINE OF FOLKS FILING A COMPLAINT AGAINST HONDA FOR A DESIGN DEFECT CONCERNING THEIR AIR CONDITIONING CONDENSER. THEY SEEM TO BE VERY PRONE TO DAMAGE FROM ROAD DEBRIS - WITHIN THE FIRST FEW WEEKS TO FEW YEARS OF THE CAR LIFE, AND HONDA WILL NOT HONOR THIS DEFECT UNDER WARRANTY, AND NUMEROUS INSURANCE CLAIMS FOR THIS DEFECT HAVE BEEN DENIED AS WELL. I WAS GIVEN THE SAME EXACT STORY BY MY DEALER THAT I HAVE NOW LEARNED IS THE SAME STORY ALL HONDA DEALERS HAVE BEEN PEDDLING FOR THE PAST 3 YEARS ON THIS SPECIFIC TOPIC. HONDA HAS SINCE "FIXED" THE PROBLEM IN THEIR 2008 VEHICLES BY ADDING A SHIELD TO THE CONDENSER TO PROTECT IT, BUT THEY WILL NOT HONOR ANY DAMAGE DONE TO PRIOR YEAR VEHICLES. THE DEALERS RESPONSE TO ME WAS TO REPLACE THE CONDENSER FOR $642, AND THEN I WAS TOLD I MAY WANT TO PURCHASE, AT MY OWN EXPENSE, A NON-OEM SHIELD TO PROTECT THE NEW CONDENSER SO IT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN. SOMETHING SEEMS AMISS HERE, ESPECIALLY SINCE I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON THIS IS HAPPENING TOO. *TR
