    Apparently, i am one in a long line of folks filing a complaint against honda for a design defect concerning their air conditioning condenser. They seem to be very prone to damage from road debris - within the first few weeks to few years of the car life, and honda will not honor this defect under warranty, and numerous insurance claims for this defect have been denied as well. I was given the same exact story by my…

    I have had my 2006 honda odyssey for one year when the air conditioner went out. The dealer determined the refrigerant leaked out due to a small hole in the condenser coil. The hole came from a small rock or other object that was kicked up while driving. The problem is that the coil is up front, below the front license plate, and fully exposed to road hazards. The design defect has caused problems for hundreds of…
