The contact owns a 1997 Honda Accord. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer because the air conditioning system was inoperative. A technician stated that there was a short circuit that caused the fuse to blow and the air compressor to fail. Secondly, a representative stated that his vehicle was previously repaired according to NHTSA campaign id number 98V231000 (electrical system:wiring:front underhood); therefore, the contact would be responsible for the repair costs. The vehicle has not been repaired. The manufacturer was not able to assist. The failure and current mileages were 98,000.
