1) no events leading up to the failure 2) air conditioner simply stops blowing cold air 3) recharge. Didn't fix. Dealership service department telling me that a rock hit the air conditioner condenser and it needs to be replaced for $1200. Many complaints of the same thing happening to other customers. *tr

Cooling System
Ac condenser cracked and caused the air conditioner to not function properly. Dealer stated damage due to road debris hitting ac condenser. Honda original design has condenser exposed at front bumper. Dealer repair included new condenser and heavy gauge wire screen to protect condenser from future damage. Clearly honda knows they have a poor vehicle design and is covertly addressing the issue at customer and…

The a/c unit should not fail in a 4 year old car that is hardly used. We still have not repaired it because it costs around 1,000.00. *tr

Rock popped up and punctured the a/c condenser which resulted in the a/c going out due to freon leaking out. This is a very common problem on the odyssey and honda should be held responsible in correcting the defect. I have to have the compressor replaced and recharged which will cost 700.00. I have the part ordered but have to go without air for a week until it comes in and i live in florida so it is not fun having…

An object, most likely road debris like rocks or pebbles, impacted the a/c condenser causing the a/c to leak rendering the system inoperable. Due to honda's design of the front bumper, the a/c condenser is completely exposed to debris. In order to fix the problem the condenser must be replaced which would cost an estimated bill of close to $1000 in parts and labor. Even after the fix, the condenser still remains…

Air conditioning failed at 51,900 miles. Debris poked a hole in the condenser. $1000 to fix. Not under warranty. It could happen again so i traded it in for a 2009 model! *tr

I own a 2006 odyssey and air conditioning condenser failed " due small rock puncturing hole". Internet search showed just how common this problem is with the odyssey. This problem is not covered under warranty because they state it is an "act of nature". I was told i could try to have it covered under my car insurance just like a rock hits a windshield and it gets replaced. ( why should the insurance industry pay…

I have a 2006 honda odyssey and the ac suddenly stop blowing cold air. I later found out that the condenser was damaged by the rock hitting it while driving on a highway. I noticed that there are a lot of people who own an odyssey also experience a similar problem. This is consider as a design problem from honda not having any protection to the condenser as rocks can hit the condenser from the highway and damage it.…

Given the fact that i ve had previous problems, i decided to google the internet just to see if anyone else have been having similar problems. And sure enough i came across many others that have been experiencing the same problems. *tr

I quickly pulled over called the dublin honda, ca dealer. They advised me to tow the car to the dealership. After i that i was advised that the a/c condenser has a hair-pin size hole (not visible to naked eye) and that's the problem. They told me…

The front end of my honda was hit by a rock on the freeway. Saw it fly in front of me but didn't hear it hit anything. When i got to my destination front end was smoking/steaming. Found the rock had punctured my ac condenser. $600 to fix. (of course honda wont cover it. But my insurance did) my complaint is there is no protection down there for such an expensive item. How much could it have cost honda to put some…

I have a newer 2006 honda odyssey minivan with only 6000 miles. The air conditioner no longer works (blows warm air). Was told that a rock hit the condenser unit - and it is not covered under warranty. Searching around the internet, i find that hundreds and hundreds of other 2005-2007 honda odyssey owners have come across the same problem. The problem is that the ac condenser coils are exposed under the front grill.…

They told me that a rock has hit a a/c condenser and freon has leaked out and it's not covered under warranty and would cost me $960. I called american honda at [redacted] to complain but they rejected my claim. I'm seeing numerous complaints online with…

Once i made it home i shut off the engine and noticed that the fan continued to run and the car was…

I have an 06' honda odyssey that just had its a/c unit go out. The honda dealer says its due to a rock hitting the condenser and will cost $1000 to fix it. I think this should be a recall due to the many owners having the same problem @http://www.topix.net/forum/autos/honda-odyssey *tr

I have owned my honda odyssey minivan for a little over a year. The ac wasn't working, and i have been told that a "rock or pebble" must have hit the condenser causing a puncture. The part alone is $790, and honda is refusing to cover under warranty. There are multiple complaints regarding this issue from other owners as the condenser lies low to the ground. Honda is covering "some" people's costs, but not others. I…
