The air conditioning began blowing warm air on my 2005 honda odyssey ex-l last fall. I had the local honda dealer perform an inspection, and he stated that i had a hole in my air conditioning condenser that must have been due to a rock. I believe this problem is a design problem, which honda will not admit to or repair at their cost. The 2005 odyssey has little protection against road debris from their new grill…

I own a 2005 honda odyssey... I had a full failure in the a/c clutch or compressor system. I have seen an enormous amount of customer complaints at how honda has denied responsibility for a design defect and calls the usual break down as a rock -->where other reputable businesses (goodyear) call it a basic failure. I have never owned a vehicle that is only 4 yrs old -- bought 2 yrs used -- that has a full a/c system…

A/c unit failed from a pebble striking the condenser while driving down the interstate. $1000 to repair, dealer was aware of the problem before even looking at the unit. Apparently it's a frequent occurrence for these models. *tr

I own a 2005 honda odyssey and it has 39k miles. My a/c just went out and i took it to a local shop and the mechanic was shocked to see i needed to replace the compressor on such a new vehicle. I paid approx $600 to get it fixed. I checked the internet and there are mass quantities of complaints about the odyssey a/c problem with rock damage to the compressor and honda is well aware of this problem. *tr

My a/c quit working while on my way home from the airport. I took it to the local honda dealership who informed me that a rock or other debris from the road punctured a hole in the a/c compressor. I assumed this would be paid by honda under warranty but i was informed that it would not. In researching this problem online, i have uncovered a large number of other individuals who have had a similar scenario. This is a…

Air conditioner not working. According to the honda service dealer(ph [redacted]). A rock hit the condenser and made a hole. I have seen many people complain about the same problem on the net and feel honda should pay to fix it as it is a design flaw. *tr

Replaced the air conditioner condenser on honda 2005 odyssey van twice (mar 06, may 08) caused by rocks hitting/damaging the condenser because of a faulty grille design that does not protect the condenser from flying rocks/debris when driving. *tr

Bought a 2005 honda odyssey on 7/1/05. On 4/4/06, the air conditioning condenser had to be replaced due to incidental damage from a road debris (probably a rock) puncturing it and leaking the freon out. On 4/28/08, the same thing has occurred. Looking on the internet, i have found many people having this same problem. The condenser coils are on the front of the vehicle with no protection from road debris (e.g., a…

I purchased a "certified pre-owned" 2005 honda odyssey and the honda care extended warranty in march of 2007. I was planning a trip from texas to west virginia with a friend and our three kids, all under the age of five. In alabama, we realized the air conditioning was releasing hot air. I called the honda dealerships in all the major cities we passed through. Since it was a saturday on a holiday weekend, no one…

I think it is honda's standard reply to a problem they know is their fault , i love the way my van handles, looks…

Ac condenser leak caused by "rock hitting it". Poor design which should have a grill protecting it. Causes freon leak. Dealers now suggesting to install an after market grill after spending $1000 to fix. Clearly a design problem by honda. *tr

At 9.974 miles my 2005 honda odyssey was found to have an air conditioner condensor leak. This is due to the wide open, low profile opening on the front of the van. This was an expensive repair! I believe there should be a mesh installed there by the manufacturer to protect the condensor.
