A/C Condenser Prone To Damage From Road Debris
2008 Honda Accord (Page 2 of 2)
This problem may be covered under warranty. Ask your Honda dealer.
CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2008 Honda Accord has several serious defects: poor brakes, excessive oil consumption, & uncomfortable seats.
BRAKES: There was a class action lawsuit against Honda in 2010 for premature & excessive brake wear. See our page on Honda's brake problems for more info.
OIL CONSUMPTION: Honda issued a TSB about this in late 2011, claiming it could be fixed through a software update to the VCM (variable cylinder management). There are class action lawsuits pending. See our page about the Accord oil consumption.
UNCOMFORTABLE SEATS: Owners have consistently reported uncomfortable seats with the entire 8th generation (2008-2012) of Honda Accords. Complaints range from back pain to leg circulation problems due to bad lumbar support, cushioning, & seat angle. Complaints aren't limited to only a certain body type -- the seat comfort problems are from a wide spectrum of owner height & weight. The common theme we hear is "we never noticed this during the test drive." Unfortunately for unwary buyers, the seat pain is noticeable after 15-20 minutes.

Brought my 2008 honda accord to the dealership numerous times to look at the ac issue. On my third time, the assistant service mgr said chip stones broke the condenser causing a leak. I brought my car to a friend's shop to check it out. There were no trace of UV dye of the leak (UV dye is used to trace where the leak is coming from). Found it strange and brought it a smaller dealership that would be more than happy to do warranty work. It turns out there were issues with the AC line and something else.
