1 Adaptive Equipment problem of the 2013 Honda FIT

Failure Date: 06/03/2014

There are "vents" below the license plate holder near the road, wide enough to significantly expose the engine to damage from road debris such as a big rock. This causes road debris to enter and hit the a/c condenser only inches behind the opening. I have researched this problem and have seen this reported 3 times in several years to safecar. Gov. From model year 2010 to 2014. Honda had a problemwith other Honda car models which resulted in a successful class action lawsuit. Honda still does not provide a grill cover or other form of protection despite the lawsuit and reports. They also do not cover the repairs with their manufacture warranty. To have a 9 month old 2013 automobile have to have air conditioning replacement is outrageous. This is a edesign defect and Honda should address the issue which may be of safety when people stop on the side of the road to address it regularly. The repairs are approx. $1,000 each and it seems Honda may be running a racket with this recurring defect issue.
