Driver side visor failed while commuting to work on 2008 honda civic coupe ex, thereby obstructing my view of the road until i was able to get to a honda dealership. The driver side visor failed due to the visor coming apart at the hing point.

Apparently a rock hit my a/c condenser after owning my 2008 honda civic hybrid for less than two months. It created a hole in the condenser and now the a/c doesn't work. Honda wants ~$600 to fix and they refuse to cover this under warranty. This is despite the extremely new nature of the car and how incredibly easy it was to locate many honda owners with the exact same problem. *tr

My 2007 honda civic hybrid has a damaged a/c condenser. According to the dealership a pebble punctured the condenser while driving, so all the freon leaked out and my ac doesn't work. The cost to repair it is $582. I went online and "goggled" this problem and found it has happened to many honda cars and has to do with the placement of the condenser and the fact that honda does nothing to protect or shield it from…
