Engine starts shacking and makes wheezing noises, whenever I drive it.

My 2007 Honda Accord A/C stopped working this week but is not covered by warranty. I was told by Honda dealer that the condenser has a small indent/hole. I found a lot of hondo consumers have the same story as me. Since the condenser is not properly protected from debris, it is definitely a design flaw. Why our consumers have to pay for the design flaw?

I was driving with my family in my new Accord purchased brand new less than seven months ago when I noticed the A/C began to get warm within about 5 minutes it was blowing hot air. I was a little upset as we about 50 miles from home and it was about 95 degrees out but figured not a huge problem I will just take it to the dealership and have the problem fixed under warranty, but when I got the call from the dealer it was not covered under warranty due to the fact that the A/C condenser was damaged by some type of road debris. I went the dealer and asked to be shown the problem and the mechanic raised the car on the lift I could see a small amount of damage about half the size of a dime and the mechanic said it was leaking all the freon out through this minute hole. When the car was up on the lift you can see where these huge opening allowing anything to enter and damage this extremely fragile material this A/C condenser is made of. My incident occurred in the summer and I only can imagine how many pebbles will ruin my A/C condenser when winter comes and they start sanding the roads here in Colorado. I guess this problem will be something I have to worry about until I trade my Accord in on a new Toyota Camry. Honda's are supposed to be known for durability but from looking on this site I see this has been a problem from all the way back in 2003 and Honda has done nothing to address the problem. Good bye Honda hello Toyota
