| My a/c went out in my 2002 odyssey. i am being told a rock or other debris hit the condenser, the freon leaked out, and then the compressor locked up. the whole system has to be replaced to the tune of $2000. an internet search reveals hundreds of similar complaints due to the grill that protects the condenser not doing the job. i see this as a clear design flaw. especially when my research revealed an aftermarket grill (not designed by honda) has been designed and is being sold. honda needs to step up and issue a recall and take responsibility for this problem. *tr | |||

| A few months after purchasing a honda odyssey car the air conditioning stopped working as we were driving down the road. the service technician was unable to duplicate the problem. on more than one occassion the service technician was able to replicate the problem and insisted that if it were to happen again he would replace the entire air conditioning system(only to find out the next time it happened he no longer worked there and the whole process had to start over again). most recently my mothers three small grandchildren were in the vehicle when the air stopped working.the temperature outside that day was around 80 degrees. they drove straight to the dealership again. the service technician was able to replicate the problem again but cannot find the cause of the problem. this is extremely worrisome to me as my mother has very bad allergies that trigger her asthma. each time my mother has taken the vehicle in (5 times that i know of) they keep her car and provide her a loaner car for up to two weeks. this last time she offered to trade the loaner car a newer honda odyssey van for her vehicle since the air conditioning works in it. the dealer told her that she would have to pay more money for this vehicle because he wouldn't be able to keep hers on the lot because there was too much liability. so he wants her to drive a vehicle that has no air conditioning, and everytime the air conditioning goes out bring it directly to the dealership to be evaluated, prolonging her exposure to allergens, which could cause her asthma to get aggrevated, not to mention the possibility of heat stroke or heart attack in the summertime in the south.she purchased the vehicle from piedmont honda in anderson, sc. if someone could please let us know whether this car is considered a lemon and whether or not we have any legal recourse we would greatly appreciate it.*ak | |||

| Driving home in my 2002 honda odyssey on an 80 degree evening, i heard a popping sound near the radio console, small amount of smoke came out of the volume control knob, and strong odor of burnt wire or something. took the van to the dealer and was told that radio (cd/tape/dvd combo) needs to be replaced and it would cost about $1000. i didn't even hit the 4th year anniversary of ownership of this van and the radio failed already. the dealer said that cause is usually due to coins being slipped-in into the cd/tape slots by kids. the dealer opened the radio console and confirmed that it was not coins, but some kind of short circuit inside the radio. never had a problem with the radio/cd/tape/dvd unit until the incident date. *jb | |||

| I recently had a car dealer tell me that the reason my car's electrical system shut down and battery died was because coins were put into the cd player. since i don't have young kids, it is hard for me to believe. in addition, the cd player has continued to work and has never had any trouble playing up to or after the incident. i have heard some similar stories and most of them surround honda's and more specifically, honda odyssey, which is my model. is this possible or is someone taking advantage of me? *jb | |||
