Description of the problem | 2007 honda odyssey - 3/28/09. Noticed ac was not working. On 4/6/09 i took the vehicle to be inspected at the dealership where it was purchased. The service rep indicated it was a small hole in the condenser, most likely caused by a road hazard (rock), and not covered by the warranty. I paid for the $1060 repair. After the vehicle was repaired, i was told by coworkers it is a notorious design issue. This was confirmed by a quick visit to google. The dealership made no mention of the common occurrence. Hopefully with enough complaints, honda will be forced to admit there is a major problem and offer some form of help. Please add me to the list of impacted owners. I instructed the service rep to move forward with repairs at 9:30am. By 2:30pm i was picking up the vehicle. $1060, with $516 of that for labor. If it's determined to be a limited problem, i have no issues; however, everything i read indicates a problem where significant owners are being affected. |
