 There is a defect in both the workmanship (design) and material (prone to malfunction in normal driving conditions) of the honda elements air conditioner condenser. the condenser is located in front of the radiator, directly behind the cars front grille. the condenser is apparently extremely delicate and prone to damage from road debris. this vital part of the air conditioning system is directly exposed to road debris. no protection is provided for this critical component. this is a defect in workmanship and design. the air conditioner condenser is made of material and constructed in a manner that makes it prone to failure when driving on highways.*ak
