| Road debris on a highway so small we didn't hear a thing caused a hole to be punctured in my ac condenser. according to numerous sites, this is a known design flaw with various year model accords, as the condenser is exposed and not protected by anything. the condenser was just put in by honda in 2011 and they won't honor the warranty because it was caused by road debris, even though it's a known fact that this happens far too frequently to the accords. *tr | |||

| Took a road trip on i40e to winston salem (3 hr. each way), while driving back the ac stopped working. took it to apple tree honda and they stated a rock had punctured the condenser and it was not covered under warranty. this cost over $400.00 to repair, and is a major front end design flaw, this company needs to recall all of these vehicles and put covers over the holes in the front grill area. this is unacceptable, it is a $200.00 fix or less for them, and i will not purchase another honda for $28k when they can't even correct their own mistakes. *tr | |||

| A/c in my 2006 honda accord se i had purchased only 2 weeks prior was coming out as water vapor and stopped working altogether. took it to the dealership and they ran a diagnostic and said a rock or pebble must've hit the compressor, and that this type of repair is not covered under my bumper to bumper wrap warranty. it cost $100 for the diagnostic alone, and would be an additional $550 for the actual repair. absolutely outrageous for a car i had less than a month! | |||

| I purchased a brand new 2006 honda accord, with a 4 cylinder engine and 5 speed manual. the car is a lx special edition, with a 2.4 liter, 4 cylinder. the car has burned excessive amounts of oil since day one. it burns more than 2 quarts of oil between each oil change. at first i thought it was due to the thin oil that is required and that it was just the break in, but it keeps getting worse. i have run the factory honda oil and filter and the problem keeps getting worse. this oil change i tried mobil 1 synthetic oil in the recommended weight, but it did not help. the oil is at 50% and the car has already burned over 1 quart of oil with just over 20,000 miles on the car. i have done all of the required oil changes at the proper intervals. the cars transmission is also abnormally stiff when it is warming up. a friend of mine was able to insist that they rebuild his manual transmission for similar problems. the excessive oil burning is the problem i am writing about though. *tr | |||

| Engine light came on three times. first time dealership said computer needed updating, cleared the code. the next day it came on and would not start. dealership claimed it was the alarm. less than 2 weeks ago it came on again when i was out of state. dealership tested it, and determined it was a bent cylinder head, they guessed it was caused by bad shifting, but freeze data showed i was only going 45 mph at 1300 rmps. they said that it was not covered by warranty. honda has been stalling for 26 days. *ak | |||

| It was first thing in the morning , had driven it late the previous evening. the engine light went on , the car bucked when i tried to accelerate . i drove to the dealership. asked me if i topped off at the gas station. i did in fact top off the last fill up. i was told that could make the engine light go on. now i have a rent a car. they need to order a new part. v tec. i have always topped off at the gas station. i should have been told or warned not to do that with the new honda's if in fact that is the reason for this. *jb | |||
