The air conditioner in my recently purchased 2006 honda civic was not cooling properly. Upon taking it in, it was discovered the condenser had a hole which, according to the dealer, was most likely caused by a rock/road debris. I am forced to pay over $500 to repair because warranty will not cover since it was likely caused by road debris, but upon doing research, this is a common problem and likely bad design on…

I have had my '06 honda civic in 3 times for the air conditioner. They are saying that a pebble hit the condenser causing a leak. They say that this is caused by road debris, so they will not cover it under warranty. They charge $600 to fix this problem. I did some research and found hundreds of these cases with honda vehicles. This is a design flaw since the condenser is not properly protected against debris like…

When i took my 2006 honda civic lx in for a/c repair to the honda dealer, they told me it was apparently hit by a rock that put a hole in the condenser, causing the freon to leak out. This isn't covered under warranty, and will cost me over $500. They told me to file a claim with my insurance company. I have seen on the internet that this is happening to a lot of people with several different models of hondas. Honda…

The a/c in the car was not working, brought to honda, they told me that there was a hole in the condenser from road debris. This was a design issue and should be under warranty. Therewas no protection on the grille. The grille was wide open.*ak

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…

Honda places their air conditioner (a/c) condenser at the front of the vehicle with no protection, ie a screen to deflect pebbles, resulting in an easy target for pebbles to puncture the fragile condenser tube. This is obviously a widespread issue that honda is refusing to deal with. The service representative said that in his three years working for honda, he personally has dealt with…
