I have a 2006 honda odyssey and is still under warranty period. My a/c stopped working and i brought in to a honda dealership and was told a rock had hit the a/c condenser and it was not covered under warranty. I refused repair because i believe it has to be a design flaw for a rock to be able to enter through big gap grille and damage the condenser plus my van is still under warranty and should be repaired at no…

We own a 2006 honda odyssey. Air-conditioner stopped working. Dealership said it was a hole in the condenser caused by road debris or a rock. Seems that this must be a design flaw because the extreme force it would take for a rock to puncture metal in an ac unit kids are now hot and miserable in back of van. Over $800 to fix and honda warranty will not cover. Times are tough for a car manufacturer to not fix a…

I believe there is a design flaw in the air conditioning system that leaves it vulnerable to road debris that can pass through the grill and pierce the condenser leading to loss of freon and no a/c. This happened to us on monday and after searching the web i see many other honda odyssey owners have experienced the same. *tr

Found my a/c not working. Took it to the dealer and was told that a rock must have hit the condenser and caused a pin hole. Was also advised by the service writer that this was a common occurrence and was due to the condenser being mounted very low to the ground behind the bumper. I asked if there was a shield or other solution to prevent a recurrence; i was told no. I then researched the issue online and found…

My wife took it to wolfchase honda in bartlett, tn. And the dealer charged her $95 to tell us that it wasn't covered under warranty due to a stone hitting the compressor. It is an obvious design flaw with the vehicle as…

1. Air conditioner quit work suddenly. Approx. 27,000 miles on vehicle. 2. No cold air. 3. Was told that repair was not covered by bumper-to-bumper warranty since "a rock must have hit the a/c condenser and caused the freon to leak." a/c condenser is located in the grill of the vehicle. *tr

The ac condenser failed on my 2006 honda odyssey at 17,615 miles. The dealer service department claimed "road" damage and charged $665 to repair. Failure was not covered by my extended warranty. This is a widely reported problem, which has happened to many honda odyssey owners, some more than once. A serious design flaw: a poorly protected condenser, which honda has not taken responsibility for. *jb

Air conditioning on the 2006 odyssey stopped working after 10 months of ownership. We were told that debris had hit the condenser and caused a leak. Since this was not considered a defect in the part it was not covered under warranty. However, it appeared we were not the only 05/06 odyssey owners with this problem. This seemed to be a design/engineering flaw that allowed for damage to occur so easily. Other internet…

I own a 2006 honda odyssey with no air conditioning. Took it to the dealer, and was told a rock hit the condenser and it was not covered under warranty. I had the car less than a year. It was poor design on honda's part. There were many complaints on the same issue on the web. Honda should be responsible for the poor design. *ak
