Air Conditioner problems of the 2007 Honda Civic

I bought my new '07 Civic lx four weeks ago. When I turn on the air conditioner on low: it consistently cycles (a vertical fan near the engine) and makes a very loud clicking noise every seven seconds (like dropping a marble on a piece of metal). The noise continues--whether the car is stopped or moving--and seems to get louder and louder; to the point where other passengers in my car are hearing it (even if I have the radio turned on). The only way to stop the noise it to turn the fan speed to high--so the "vertical fan" near the engine continuously runs (doesn't turn on and off). The noise doesn't occur when the heater is turned on. I took my car to the auto dealer: the first time, the manager didn't have the a/c inspected--told me that it's normal. A week later, I took it to the dealer a second time: they claim to have "compared with like vehicle". . . "air conditioner operating as designed by Honda. " (that's what was written on my customer copy repair invoice. ) my auto dealer never showed me the "like vehicle" to prove to me that--the consistent loud noise--is a normal procedure. I've driven less superior cars (Ford escort and Chevrolet tracker) and never had such a problem.

I just purchased a 2007 Honda Civic sedan ex 2 weeks ago. It only has 800 miles on it. I have done nothing more than normal driving and the air conditioner stopped working. It began blowing hot air. I took it to my dealer and they said that a stone had puntured the air conditioner condenser. They said it was just bad luck and it is not covered uner warranty from Honda. It cost me $675. 50. I did my research on the internet and others have experienced the same problem with low mileage new Honda's. This is obviously a problem with Honda's design. Something needs to be done.
