WHEN TURNED ON, WARM AIR CAME OUT.  WHEN I BROUGHT IT TO THE SHOP TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM, I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS A HOLE IN THE AIR COMPRESSOR AND THE UNIT REQUIRED REPLACEMENT TO FIX.  THE DAMAGE, AS STATED BY THE REPAIR TECHNICIAN, WAS CAUSED BY \"A ROCK OR SOMETHING\" THAT WAS KICKED UP FROM THE ROAD WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, AND MADE A HOLE IN THE COMPRESSOR.  THE HOLE CANNOT BE REPAIRED, THEREFORE, THE COMPRESSOR REQUIRES REPLACEMENT.  THE ESTIMATE GIVEN FOR THE REPAIR WAS $1,044.  THE TECHNICIAN INDICATED THAT THERE WAS NOTHING PROTECTING THE CONDENSER UNIT FROM BEING HIT BY ROAD DEBRIS, AND IT IS ABSOLUTELY A DESIGN FLAW ON THE PART OF HONDA.  IF SOMEONE IS UNABLE TO AFFORD THE REPAIR COST, THIS BECOMES A HEALTH CONCERN.  WHEN I WAS DRIVING TO A DOCTOR APPOINTMENT 1 HOUR AWAY IN JULY ON A 98 DEGREE DAY, I SUFFERED MILD HEAT STROKE FROM HAVING TO DRIVE FOR AN HOUR ON THE HIGHWAY WITH THE SUN BEATING DOWN ON THE CAR AND THE HEAT RISING UP FROM THE HOT PAVEMENT AND SURROUNDING VEHICLES ON THE ROAD.  I HAD TO SEEK AN ALTERNATE ROUTE HOME USING BACK ROADS SHADED BY TREES IN ORDER TO AVOID SUFFERING FROM HEAT STROKE AGAIN, AND THIS CAUSED A MAJOR INCONVENIENCE AS IT TOOK ME 2 HOURS TO GET HOME.  IT IS APPARENT THAT THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN RECURRING IN ACCORDS SINCE AT LEAST THE EARLY 2000'S, AND HONDA IS BEING NEGLIGENT BY NOT ADDRESSING IT.  THIS IS A DEFINITE DESIGN FLAW THAT HONDA SHOULD ADDRESS WITH A RECALL, AS IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THE SIMPLE ADDITION OF SOME TYPE OF SCREEN CAN REMEDY THE SITUATION AND SAVE A LOT OF TROUBLE AND COSTLY REPAIR BILLS FOR THE CONSUMER.  WHAT IS MOST DISTURBING IS THAT THIS DESIGN FLAW POSES A HEALTH RISK FOR CERTAIN INDIVIDUALS IN CERTAIN SITUATIONS AND, FOR THIS REASON MORE THAN ANY OTHER, IT SHOULD BE BROUGHT TO HONDA'S ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY. *TR","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2007","productMake":"HONDA","productModel":"ACCORD","manufacturer":"Honda (American Honda Motor Co.)"}]}]}
