2006 Honda Accord, normal driving conditions, no out of the ordinary events leading to failure. Punctured/damaged A/C compressor. A/C does not function, repair costs $120-180 ac compressor, $30-40 A/C receiver/drier, $130-200 drain/recharge of A/C system. Total for repair $660-700.
A/C in my 2006 Honda Accord SE I had purchased only 2 weeks prior was coming out as water vapor and stopped working altogether. Took it to the dealership and they ran a diagnostic and said a rock or pebble must've hit the compressor, and that this type of repair is not covered under my bumper to bumper wrap warranty. It cost $100 for the diagnostic alone, and would be an additional $550 for the actual repair. Absolutely outrageous for a car I had less than a month!
2006 Honda Accord we bought brand new 2.5 years ago. 55,000 miles and the A/C condenser needs to be replaced for $800 due to a puncture from a rock. Not covered under Honda warranties, not considered "normal wear and tear" even though you can read numerous complaints on the internet regards the same problem.
2006 Honda Accord - A/C condenser broke twice due to road debris, told not covered under warranty and was a rare occurrence - however I see several other people reporting the same problem. Without ac windows fog up on rainy humid days and visibility is impaired. Total design flaw on behalf of Honda and they should recall the item.
I noticed my air conditioner in my 2006 Honda Accord was not blowing cold air and I made an appointmentwith a Honda dealer on 8/13/07 and was told road debris punctured my A/C condenser and was not covered under the warranty. The grill design allows road debris to come into air conditioner.
