Nice one! Nothing like threatening to go to the TV news folks to put a scare into the stealership. Thats a pretty scary picture of your condesor, mainly in that mine looks twenty times worse! You must have got hit in EXACTLY the wrong spot to kill the AC. Now go put the grille gaurd on and enjoy your new (ish) car!

My condenser was curved from an impact that also bent the bumper support and lost no pressure but was replaced anyway..... Your condenser looks better than any I've seen on other than a brand new car.

Really, less than $5 for some fiberglass window screening will prevent any rocks or other debri from ever contacting your a/c condenser.
I did this when my '07 Sport was new and there is not a single mark on the condenser in 2 1/2 years of driving.

Easy to do, cheap insurance.

I do this on all new cars I buy.

This is a great idea, but I have no idea how to attach the screening. Could you describe the procedure and post some pics? I'm interested in doing this myself.

Thanks

poor design or not, why dont you go after 1 of 2, if not both the trucking company that housed the rock and the city for not keeping the hwy debris free? Same thing happened to my wife's accord, i was fortunate enough they warranted it for us. But in the same breath...i started to go after both the trucking company AND cal-trans.

so if you had a chevy, and this happened...would you go to kia or hyundai next?
