THE DAY AFTER MY AC STOPPED WORKING I DECIDED TO TAKE IT TO THE NEAREST DEALER WHICH WAS AUTOWEST HONDA OF FREMONT. EVEN THOUGH SUMMER WAS ALMOST OVER IT WAS STILL HOT ENOUGH NOT TO LIVE WITH OUT AC SO I DECIDED TO HAVE MY AC DIAGNOSED. APPARENTLY THE DEALER SAID THAT A SMALL PEBBLE HIT MY CONDENSER WHICH CAUSED MY AC TO STOP WORKING. MY INSURANCE WILL COVER IT BUT MY DEDUCTIBLE IS TOO HIGH, MY HONDA WARRANTY DOES NOT WANT TO COVER IT BECAUSE IT WAS NOT A DEFECT AND OF COURSE THE COST TO FIX THE AC CONDENSER PLUS LABOR WOULD COST ABOUT $900!! I REALLY FIND THIS TYPE OF INCIDENT UN FAIR! IF IT THAT SIMPLE FOR A CONDENSER TO BE DAMAGED BY A PEBBLE WHY WOULD HONDA PUT OUT A VEHICLE LIKE THAT OUT ON THE STREETS! I KNOW THE CONDENSER HAS TO BE EXPOSED BUT I BELIEVE THE MODEL OF THIS VEHICLE EXPOSES THE CONDENSER TOO MUCH AND IF ITS THAT SIMPLE FOR THE CONDENSER TO GET DAMAGED THEN HONDA HAS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. I BOUGHT THE CAR BRAND NEW AND TO HAVE SUCH A NECESSARY REPAIR RUNNING FOR $900 AT 30,000 MILES IS RIDICULOUS. EITHER PUT BETTER CONDENSER ON HONDA VEHICLES OR DON'T PUT VEHICLES OUT THERE WHERE ONE HAS TO WORRY ABOUT HITTING PEBBLES BECAUSE THEY MIGHT COST YOU ANOTHER $900! REALLY UNHAPPY WITH HONDA RIGHT NOW, ESPECIALLY THE FACT THAT I LOVE HONDA'S AND MOST OF MY FAMILY MEMBERS HAVE ONE. HOPEFULLY HONDA CAN FIX THIS, BRAND NEW CAR AND ALREADY UNHAPPY AT 30,000! AND OF COURSE I HAD TO PAY THE$150 FOR DIAGNOSING THE THING BECAUSE IT WAS NOT COVERED BY MY HONDA PROTECTION PLAN! HOW ARE WE SUPPOSE TO DRIVE A HONDA ACCORD COUPE WITH PIECE OF MIND IF I HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT A PEBBLE HITTING MY CONDENSER AND DAMAGING IT, WHEN STREETS ARE FULL OF THEM! I NEED A CAR THAT WOULD GIVE ME PIECE OF MIND NOT ONE THAT WOULD PUT ME AT RISK FINANCIALLY EVERY TIME I'M DRIVING THE [XXX] THING!

THE 2010 HONDA ACCORD HEADRESTS LEAN FORWARD AT SUCH AN EXTREME ANGLE THAT THEY CAUSE A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF DRIVERS ENOUGH DISCOMFORT THAT THEY (MYSELF INCLUDED) FREQUENTLY MODIFY OR REMOVE THEM COMPLETELY, NULLIFYING ANY SAFETY GAINS THAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN REALIZED WITH A FORWARD-LEANING DESIGN. NHTSA STANDARDS SHOULD REQUIRE MANUFACTURERS TO ALLOW DRIVERS TO ADJUST THE HEADRESTS TO A COMFORTABLE POSITION TO AVOID DRIVERS MODIFYING OR REMOVING THEM ENTIRELY. *TR

A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO THE BRAKES STARTED SQUEALING. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES IN THE PAST TWO WEEKS. SEVERAL TIMES THE BRAKES WERE SLOW TO RESPOND AND SQUEALED LOUDLY. I HAVE A 2010 HONDA ACCORD V-6. IN JUNE I HAD TO HAVE MY ROTORS TURNED BECAUSE THE CAR WOULD SHIMMY WHEN I USED THE BRAKES. HONDA SERVICE SAID THAT THE WARRANTY DIDN'T COVER THIS. I BOUGHT THE CAR NEW AND ONLY HAVE ~25K MILES ON IT. THE MILEAGE IS 90% HIGHWAY AND INTERSTATE MILES AND THERE SHOULD BE NO REASON THAT THE BRAKE PADS SHOULD BE REPLACED OTHER THAN POOR MATERIAL. I HAVE READ ABOUT THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT, BUT NOT SURE WHAT TO DO NEXT.. *TR
