| Description of the problem | I purchased a 2007 honda crv with 2 miles on it three weeks ago, the other day my a/c stopped blowing cold i called the dealer and took it in. I was informed it was the a/c condenser and had to be replaced, this was not covered by the warranty ,and the cost would be $800 . According to them a rock or some road debris damaged i. I could not believe this, it was my first brand new car and could afford car payments and car repairs. After making a few calls to the general sales manager they agreed to fix it, only because the dealership deposited my check early and it bounced. I have checked online, and this has happened to many many honda customers so i called 1-800-999-1009 and spoke to honda customer service and was told there was no recall, and itwas not covered by the warranty. Her and the service echnician at tampa hondaland both told me that i needed to buy or have made some kind of cover m to protect the a/c condenser so that it hopefully won't happen again.... What? This was something that should be done by honda or they should warranty this if it happened to consumers. Thanks for taking the time to listen to me.*ak |
