Default Anybody's AC condenser fins falling off? (2003)

Has anyone seen their AC condenser fins falling off the tubes? Down along the bottom there's a bar that holds the lowest row of fins, that bar is now getting kinda loose & makes rattling noise. I just noticed this on our 2003 Accord, so I'm glad it's still under warranty. It just seems strange & I've never seen that on other cars we've owned.

It's usualy because of corrosion or leaves gathering around it but most definately it shouldn't be doing this already. Good job catching it before the warranty ran out.

Make sure you don't have a neighborhood dog pissing on the front of your car! I had a girlfriend who had a dog that would **** on her Air conditioning Unit outside her home. It ate away the fins on the outside unit where the dog pissed. I know sounds wierd but true.

There are no service bulletins on it. You live in the north where they use salt on the roads?

It just seems funny since it hasn't happend on the other cars. I'm not gonna get upset unless a dealer denies warranty coverage. Thing is the car's down in NC with my daughter for the summer semester, so maybe they don't know about salt...

They should still be able to tell when something is f-ed up.

They replaced it under warranty without even arguing about it.

that's what I figured they would do. Glad it worked out for you.
