| Description of the problem | Took car to dealer with warm air conditioning blowing. Dealer stated that condenser had a hole from road debris; repair costs was $765. Subsequent search of honda forums revealed ongoing problem with frequent air conditioner failures, and exact same line from dealer about road debris. Air conditioning failure in the deep south was an unacceptable problem in a 9 month old car with 20,000 miles. Repeated failures in different models was indicative of poor quality, and leaking coolant was a dangerous substance.*ak |
