Honda Ridgeline 2006 air conditioning lines are located right next to an engine bracket. Over time (3yrs) the aluminum pipe wears out causing the freon to leak out of the system and the compressor to stop working. Parts # 24 & 25 had to be replaced at a cost of 400 usd. The new part seem to be made of a bendable material instead of the rigid original and can be bent out of the way of the bracket.

I would like to file a complaint against Honda motor company for their defective condenser that they build into their vehicles knowing that they can be easily damaged. They are aware of the defect but choose to ignore that it is an issue. They also have changed their 2008-2009 models and claim that they have the right to change their models whenever and however they want. They truly are not customer service oriented. This is an unjust cost that they are placing on their consumers.
