TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN USING THE AIR CONDITIONING UNIT, THE AIR WOULD BLOW HOT INSTEAD OF COOLER AIR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE THEY ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT AIR CONDITIONING UNIT WAS LEAKING AND NEEDED FREON. THE DEALER ADDED FREON TO THE VEHICLE HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED SHORTLY AFTER THE CONTACT LEFT THE DEALER. THE DEALER THEN ADVISED HIM TO DRIVE AN ADDITIONAL 1,000 MILES BEFORE DETERMINING IF THE FAILURE HAD BEEN CORRECTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 22,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.
AIR CONDITIONER IN 2009 HONDA ACCORD WON'T WORK. BROUGHT TO DEALER AND THEY SAY A ROCK HIT THE CONDENSOR WHICH IS LOCATED IN FRONT BEHIND THE OPENINGS IN THE BUMPER WITHOUT ANY SCREEN OR PROTECTION. THEY DO NOT COVER IN WARRANTY AND WE HAVE TO FILE WITH OUR INSURANCE WHICH MAY RAISE THE COST. SOMEONE MY HUSBAND WORKS WITH HAS THE SAME YEAR ACCORD AND THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE TO THEM AND HONDA WILL NOT COVER. SEEMS TO BE A DESIGN FLAW WHICH IS COSTING CONSUMERS AND THEIR INSURANCES MONEY. *TR

SHE ATTEMPTED TO ADJUST THE TEMPERATURE BUT TO NO AVAIL. THE DEALER ADVISED THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO A HOLE IN THE CONDENSER MOST LIKELY CAUSED BY A ROCK OR PEBBLE. THERE WERE NO RECALLS AND THE DEALE ADVISED THE REPAIR WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE APPROXIMATELY 4,000.
