2006 Honda Accord Engine cooling Problems

“While driving on I 95 to baltimore, my cars check engine light, vsa, and traction control lights came on, cruise control disengaged, vehicle began to slow down from 70 MPH, the engine would not pick up speed even when pressing on the gas pedal. Pulled off the road shut down the car, restarted and was able to drive again at highway speed until it happened again. It happened a total of 6 times.”

“Road debris on a highway so small we didn't hear a thing caused a hole to be punctured in my AC condenser. According to numerous sites, this is a known design flaw with various year model accords, as the condenser is exposed and not protected by anything. The condenser was just put in by Honda in 2011 and they won't honor the warranty because it was caused by road debris, even though it's a known fact that this happens far too frequently to the accords.”

“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.”

“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!”

“Engine light came on three times. First time dealership said computer needed updating, cleared the code. The next day it came on and would not start. Dealership claimed it was the alarm. Less than 2 weeks ago it came on again when I was out of state. Dealership tested it, and determined it was a bent cylinder head, they guessed it was caused by bad shifting, but freeze data showed I was only going 45 MPH at 1300 rmps. They said that it was not covered by warranty. Honda has been stalling for 26 days.”
