January 2005 Fire

The air conditioning compressor stopped working. Acura will not discuss the problem with me since there is a class action suit for this ongoing problem for this year and model.we understand that we can get 60%. Back if we fix it a acura or honda dealership.if they are aware of this malfunction for this year and model they should pay the whole cost. We have had 5 honda cars and have been very loyal customers.
