The paint is coming off to the primer! I was back in 2010 it was weather related but where it started chipping I just do not see how it is weather related!!!! every Honda I see my year model down the paint is coming off.
Basically, my 2006 Honda Accord ex 4-door sedan began to smoke and combusted almost immediately as I was taking it to the mechanic. Here's the story. My car was parked in a friend's garage that was located in gainesville, FL where I noticed that two lights appeared for the first time. One light was an emissions malfunction light and the other was a vehicle stability assist control light. This is after I had my car fully serviced for the usual 30,000 mile service. Anyways, I was taking the car to the mechanic since I figured those lights were somewhat concerning. I figured the emissions light needed to be looked at. I drove maybe a maximum of three to four miles when I noticed smoke under the hood of the car. There was a fire starting and surely enough it started to combust about 10 to 15 seconds later. My brakes also seemed to give out at the same time so I swerved into a parking lot to slow the car down and proceeded to get out of it with all my possessions still inside. As I watched in dismay as my car was on fire, I was wondering what come next. I had to deal with all the proper authorities, and subsequently became very ill the next day. I had suffered from a decent amount of stress and trauma since but I feel quite better now. There was no reason for this to happen because my car should have been in good order and has been in great condition for the past four years. The car is totally destroyed and the insurance company has taken care of it. I haven't made any formal complaints to newspapers, websites, or anything. This seems to be a good place to voice my concerns as to what happened and such.
An unknown road debris (small pebble) struck the front of the vehicle (regular event), causing ac unit to fail. The dealer found that a pebble punctured a hole in ac condenser. This is brand new car. Repair cost $700 and is not covered by warranty. In fact, ac condenser is exposed to incoming flow and is not protected. Apparently the condenser is also very fragile. Honda said that it is normal. I think it is not. This is a design flaw that should be addressed, at least by providing free repair of this undue damage.
2006 Honda Accord ex l 4dr sedan. Air conditioner (a/c) blows warm air. Dealer said a/c condensor needed to be replaced which was not covered under warranty. Vehiclewas 8 months old and has 11000 miles. Honda custemer service not helpful.
Honda dealer identified that cause of air conditioner failure to be a stone striking the condenser causing fluid leak. Dealer conveyed that this is not covered by warranty. Condenser should be better protected or stronger to prevent road damage.
