Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I own a 2006 honda civic and last fall my ac stopped working. i took it to the dealer from which i purchased the vehicle and was told a pebble had gone through the open grill and damaged the condenser. they showed me the damage which is almost not noticeable. very light and certainly shouldn't be enough to cause the ac to stop working. this is poor design. there are numerous complaints on various websites about this problem. and, it seems, it is not confined to just the civic but with several honda vehicles. the dealer refused to cover under warranty and told me to go to my insurance company. hogwash. i'm not going to pay a high deductible or the $700 repair bill. i am going to fight honda on this one, and i hope other honda owners will step up to the plate. *nm
