EQUIPMENT:APPLIANCE:AIR CONDITIONER
I HAVE A 2007 HONDA ODYSSEY. MILEAGE IS LESS THAN 10,000 MILES. AIR CONDITIONING WAS BLOWING HOT AIR. TOOK IT TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP IN ROANOKE, VIRGINIA, AND WAS TOLD THAT IT LOOKS LIKE A ROCK HAD FLOWN INTO THE AIR CONDITIONING CONDENSER AND PUNCTURED IT. THEY WOULD NOT COVER IT UNDER WARRANTY AND SAID THAT I COULD MAKE A CLAIM UNDER MY AUTO INSURANCE POLICY. THEIR CHARGE TO REPAIR/REPLACE IS $700. *JB

AIR BAGS
WITHIN A COUPLE OF WEEKS AFTER PURCHASING A BRAND NEW 2007 HONDA ODYSSEY, THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND STAYED ILLUMINATED (OCCASIONALLY TURNING OFF). WE BROUGHT THE CAR IN TO A DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE ON 7/16/07 BUT A FEW DAYS OF USING THE CAR (WE ONLY USE IT ONCE A WEEK, SOMETIMES LESS) THE WARNING LIGHT TURNED ON AGAIN. ALSO, NOW THE "PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF" LIGHT NOW OCCASIONALLY TURNS ON, EVEN WHEN THERE'S AN ADULT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT (THIS LIGHT IS SUPPOSED TO ILLUMINATE ONLY WHEN THERE'S A CHILD-SIZE OBJECT OR PASSENGER). WE ARE GOING TO TAKE IT IN FOR SERVICE AGAIN.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:POWER ASSIST
WE CURRENTLY HAVE AROUND 7,000 MILES ON A 2007 AND THERE HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH THE ODYSSEY'S BRAKING SYSTEM. THE BRAKES HAVE A VERY SOFT FEEL AND NEED TO BE DEPRESSED AT LEAST 3/4 OF THE WAY FOR THE BRAKES TO FEEL LIKE THEY ARE BITING. THE BRAKES HAVE ALWAYS HAD A RELATIVELY SOFT FEELING TO THEM AND IT HAS CAUSED SOME DICEY SITUATIONS WHERE YOU NEED TO ATTEMPT TO SWERVE AROUND ANOTHER VEHICLE SINCE THERE IS A DEFINITE LACK OF CONFIDENCE WHEN YOU NEED TO INDUCE A PANIC STOP. OCCASIONALLY THE BRAKES WILL HAVE A LITTLE CHATTER TO THEM WHICH YOU CAN FEEL IN THE BRAKE PEDAL. WE HAVEN'T PEGGED THIS DIRECTLY TO THE LOAD OF THE VEHICLE OR HOT BRAKES/BRAKE PADS, BUT WE ARE CURRENTLY IN THE PROCESS OF GETTING THIS ISSUE LOOKED INTO WITH OUR DEALER. *JB

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
2007 HONDA ODYSSEY AIR CONDITIONING STOPPED WORKING. RESULT WAS A DAMAGED CONDENSER DUE TO "ROAD DEBRIS". WARRANTY COVERAGE WAS NOT PROVIDED BY HONDA. CONDENSER PROXIMITY TO ROAD SURFACE MAKES IT PRONE TO DAMAGE AND SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A DESIGN DEFECT. INTERNET SEARCHES REVEALED NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE. *JB

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM:RADIATOR ASSEMBLY
I OWN A 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY (PURCHASED JULY 2006). LAST WEEKEND, I NOTICED BLUE FLUID (COOLANT) ON THE GRILL ACCOMPANIED BY A BURNT SMELL AND THE COOLANT FLUID WAS BELOW THE MINIMUM LEVEL. JUST TWO WEEKS PRIOR, THIS CAR WAS TAKEN IN TO THE DEALERS FOR THE 1 YEAR MINOR TUNE-UP. THE DEALERS REPORTED THAT A ROCK HAS PUNCTURED THE RADIATOR, SO THAT IS WHERE THE LEAK WAS COMING FROM. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS CASE IS NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY BECAUSE IT IS NOT FROM THE NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. I FIND IT UNFAIR THAT DUE TO THE POOR DESIGN OF THE GRILL THAT I HAVE TO PAY A $500 DEDUCTIBLE TO GET THIS FIXED. *TR
