THE AIR CONDITIONER ON MY 2003 ACURA RSX DID NOT WORK VERY WELL WHEN I BOUGHT IT. I PROCRASTINATED TO TAKE IT IN BECAUSE IM VERY BUSY. AFTER 19,000 MILES IT STOPPED BLOWING COLD AIR ALTOGETHER. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID ROAD DEBRIS MUST HAVE PUT A HOLE IN THE AIR CONDITIONING CONDENSER, WHICH NEITHER THE DEALER NOR ACURA WOULD COVER.
