There are "vents" below the license plate holder near the road, wide enough to significantly expose the engine to damage from road debris such as a big rock. this causes road debris to enter and hit the a/c condenser only inches behind the opening. i have researched this problem and have seen this reported 3 times in several years to safecar.gov. from model year 2010 to 2014. honda had a problemwith other honda car models which resulted in a successful class action lawsuit. honda still does not provide a grill cover or other form of protection despite the lawsuit and reports. they also do not cover the repairs with their manufacture warranty. to have a 9 month old 2013 automobile have to have air conditioning replacement is outrageous. this is a edesign defect and honda should address the issue which may be of safety when people stop on the side of the road to address it regularly. the repairs are approx. $1,000 each and it seems honda may be running a racket with this recurring defect issue. *tr
