| Description of the problem | On wednesday july 21, 2010 at approximately 1:00pm i left to pick up my cousins family from phoenix sky harbor international airport. Driving there the air conditioning on my 2006 honda crv was blowing cold air. Upon arriving at the airport i headed to the curbside pickup turned off the vehicle and loaded up the luggage. When i turned on the ignition to head back home i noticed the air conditioner was no longer running cold, only blowing hot air. In arizona, the summer time is extremely hot. Today, july 27, 2010 i took my honda crv to firestone complete auto care to have an a/c performance check and it was determined road debris (a rock) went through the condenser and created a hole. The associate contacted toyota (purchased it certified used and bought an extended warranty) who said it was considered road damage and the repair would not be covered. I have held off on the repair until i gather a few estimates and contact honda directly. I have researched online and this is a very common problem among some of their vehicles. There is a design flaw with the grill that allows large debris to enter and cause damage. |
