I noticed on 4/10/07 that air conditioner (a/c) wasn't blowing cold air in the 2006 honda odessey. Had my husband take it to the repair shop this morning, and we have been told that there was damage to the a/c condenser tube located in the front of the vehicle. This area was not protected by a grille, and the damage has most likely been caused by road debris. Upon further research discovered that this problem…

My 2006 honda odyssey minivan developed a hole in the air conditioner condenser after just 4 months of driving (8k miles) and i was told by the dealer this was a freak accident of a pebble puncturing the condenser that was covered under bumper to bumper warranty or insurance. The warranty is supposed to cover all items that aren't normal wear and tear, but it doesn't. I have also heard countless people claim the…

The current design of the grill allows unprotected access for road debris, i.e. Small rocks, to strike the a/c condenser which allows a leak. Honda does not consider this covered under warranty despite the design flaw. *nm

I purchased a brand new 2006 honda odyssey from a local dealer. I noticed sometime after the purchase the air conditioning didn't seem to be very cold. I chalked it up to the weather being hotter than normal, and my failure to not read the manual. When all else failed, i read the manual. No real help, i wasn't doing anything wrong. Took it to the dealer. I was informed that a rock hit the condenser and therefore the…

I purchased a new 2006 honda odyssey end of april, 2006. Two months later my air conditioner stopped working (it was 100 degrees outside). Took it to the dealer, was told it would be $125 to diagnose the problem because "we see a lot of rocks damaging air-conditioners, and it's not covered under warranty." turns out a rock impacted the condenser while i was driving, causing the air-conditioner to stop working. This…
