| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The air conditioning on my 2005 honda accord hybrid failed while on a new year holiday visit to arizona. when i took it to my local dealer for repair under warranty, they told me that it is due to damage from road debris making a hole in the condenser, and that it would cost me $875 to repair. this would seem to be a design fault, putting something so apparently fragile at the front of a car, behind an opening 28 1/2 inches by 5 with only one horizontal bar under 1/4 inch wide and 3 verticals less than 1/8 inch wide. for a few dollars, they could protect it with a mesh grill and save what internet research seems to show happening to more than a few people on several honda models. *jb |
