Bought Pilot in 10/06. Only 25,275 miles on it when the air conditioner stopped working. Mechanic told me Honda had changed condensers and were having problems. All the local dealer would tell me is that it was damaged by road debris and could happen again at any time. The dealership wanted over $1,000 to fix it but my mechanic fixed for less. I have since learned that Honda has recognized the problem and has begun refunding people with these condenser problems for Pilots beginning with the year 2003. So that should include me. Anyone know who I can contact about this? I actually still have the bad condenser in case a class action suit was ever filed with Honda. I also heard that Honda now puts a mesh thing over the condenser to prohibit the "road debris" from damaging the condenser in the future. I think Honda should do this for me and reimburse me for the money I had to pay out.
