2003 HONDA ACCORD User Comment / Complaint

I'm complaining about the design flaw on the a/c condenser of my 2003 honda accord. the placement of the condenser is flawed because it is located in the lower front of the vehicle that is always prone to be hit by small pebbles when driving normally on the highway. there is no protection on the freon coils on the condenser and any small peblle could hit it and damaged the coils and the freon would leak. this makes the owner always financially at risk that the coils could be damaged under normal driving condition because of the design. the fins on the condenser doesn't even protect the coils and only after driving the car a couple of months, i have seen a lot of pebble damage on the condenser. yesterday a pebble hit one of the coils and the freon escaped, rendering my a/c inoperable. the service advisor seems to pinpoint right away the cause by pointing to me the pebble damage on the consender in only 10 seconds. does this mean they have a lot of complaints on this kind of problem?. they say it's not covered by warranty even though the design has subjected the condenser to be hits by small pebbles when driving normally. does the consumer have to pay for this flaw. if i had them change the condenser today and it got hit again tomorrow, and next month, etc, etc, when will this financial problem stop for the consumer?  view
