Leaky A/C condenser.
The A/C condenser is prone to damage by road debris due to bad design.
We had the same exact problem with 1995 civic.
Honda needs to step up to the plate and fix this problem.
Also, file your complaints with office of the attorney general within your state.
I have not had any problems with my condenser, and I do not tailgate trucks dumping rocks like I see many people doing. Do you people really care about your car if you are hitting rocks? Stop tailgating.
We had the same problem with the AC condenser in our CR-V. I do not think that the problem is tailgating and hitting rocks, but rather a manufacture's defect/bad design.
In the last three weeks I just drove 3,000 miles of smooth MN roads, some even behind dump trucks... BUT NOT TAILGATING!!! I had no problems with getting hit with things on the roadway. It seems kind of like chance when it comes to getting hit with a rock right in the condenser. I have heard comments on how poorly Honda Condensers are built, but I believe it could happen to any car.
I think you guys need to examine where you drive, seriously. I have 156,000 miles on my Honda now and have had no trouble. I am not slow either... It has been at speeds well over 90, so do not think I am some grandpa driver.
