EQUIPMENT:APPLIANCE:AIR CONDITIONER

OUR 2007 HONDA ODYSSEY SUDDENLY STARTED BLOWING HOT AIR OUT OF THE DRIVERS SIDE WITH THE AIR CONDITIONING ON. WE HAD RECENTLY HAD TO REPLACE THE COMPRESSOR, AND THOUGHT THAT THERE WAS JUST A LEAK IN A HOSE, WE REFILLED THE FREON A FEW TIMES BEFORE THE WEATHER COOLED DOWN AND THEN LEFT IT ALONE FOR THE WINTER. WHEN I WENT TO HAVE IT FIXED LAST WEEK, I FOUND OUT THERE WAS A HOLE IN THE CONDENSER, JUST LIKE I HAD HEARD HAD HAPPENED TO A LOT OF OTHER 2007 ODYSSEY OWNERS. $970.00 LATER OUR AIR CONDITIONING WORKS, BUT THERE IS NOTHING TO STOP THIS FROM HAPPENING AGAIN. HONDA STILL ISN'T DOING ANYTHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. THEY SHOULD AT LEAST OFFER TO PAY FOR A GUARD UNDER THE VEHICLE TO PREVENT THE PROBLEM FROM RECURRING. WHEN YOU LIVE IN ARIZONA LIKE I DO, THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE.

EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE/MOBILITY

I AM GETTING A THUD SOUND FROM THE BACK OF MY 2007 ODYSSEY MINI VAN. WE CALLED HONDA AND THEY SAID THEY HAVE HAD SEVERAL PEOPLE COME IN WITH THIS. THEY FOUND THAT THERE IS A GLAZING THAT HAPPENS WITH THE BRAKES AND THEY SAID THEY HAVE TO GRIND THE DRUMS AND IT MAKES IT GO AWAY FOR AWHILE. THEY SAID IF THE BRAKE SHOES ARE OK IT WOULD RUN ABOUT $200.00. THIS IS CRAZY IF THEY HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES OTHER THAN WEAR AND TEAR THEY SHOULD FIX IT FOR FREE. I HAVE PUT TWO SETS OF BRAKES ON THIS VAN SINCE I BOUGHT IT AND I HAVE NEVER HAD BRAKES GO SO FAST. I BELIEVE THEY HAVE A VERY POOR DESIGN. IF I HAD NOT BOUGHT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY I WOULD HAVE BEEN OUT 1000 OF DOLLARS WITH ALL THE PROBLEM THIS 2007 HONDA HAS HAD. IF I HAD IT TO DO OVER AGAIN I WOULD NOT BUY ANOTHER HONDA. THE WINDSHIELD WHISTLES, THE TRANSMISSION PART HAD TO BE REPLACED, THE COMPRESSOR MELTED, THE BATTERY WENT DEAD ON A TRIP BEFORE A YEAR WAS UP. THE BEARINGS IN THE WHEELS WENT BAD. THE AXLE WENT BAD. THE RIGHT REAR DOOR MOTOR WENT BAD. THE LEFT REAR DOOR WILL OPEN PART WAY AND SHUT. ALL IN ALL HONDA HAS GONE DOWN HILL. $37,000 AND ITS A PIECE OF JUNK. THANK GOD OTHER THAN THE BRAKES THE DEALER HAS BEEN VERY VERY GOOD AND HAS FIXED EVERYTHING AT LEAST ONCE.

ON JULY 12, 2010, I TOOK OUR 2007 HONDA ODYSSEY) MEL RAPTON HONDA FOR THE BRAKE RECALL REQUESTED BY HONDA AMERICA. I WAS CALLED AT 12:20 P.M. BY YOUR SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND ADVISED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS READY TO BE PICKED UP. AT 2:00 P.M., I ARRIVED, PICKED UP THE VEHICLE AND PROCEEDED TO MAITA TOYOTA TO PICK UP MY HUSBAND WHERE HE WAS HAVING OUR TOYOTA SERVICED. AS I APPROACHED THE VERY FIRST STOP LIGHT AT FULTON AND THE ENTRANCE TO I-80, I APPLIED THE BRAKES AND WITH MY FOOT PRESSED COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR AND THE VEHICLE DID NOT STOP. I RAN THE STOP LIGHT, AND WAS VERY FORTUNATE THAT I DID NOT HIT ANYONE. AT THE SECOND LIGHT I CAME UPON AT AUBURN AND FULTON WAS GREEN AND I MADE A RIGHT HAND TURN INTO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP WHERE I ONCE AGAIN COULD NOT STOP THE VEHICLE AND HIT THE CONCRETE PARKING BARRIER, SCRATCHING THE FRONT RIGHT BUMPER. I PROMPTLY CALLED MY HUSBAND AND INFORMED HIM I THOUGHT SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE, BUT WAS NOT SURE WHAT TO DO SINCE MY ASSUMPTION WAS THE BRAKES WERE FULLY INSPECTED AND FUNCTIONAL PRIOR TO ME LEAVING MEL RAPTON HONDA. I CALLED BACK TO MEL RAPTON SERVICE DEPARTMENT, LEAVING A MESSAGE FOR THE SERVICE ADVISOR ANTHONY MOTLEY THAT SOMETHING WAS NOT RIGHT WITH MY BRAKES. THE SERVICE ADVISOR CALLED ME BACK ASKING THAT I DRIVE THE CAR BACK TO MEL RAPTON, EVEN THOUGH I STATED I BELIEVED THAT I HAD NO FUNCTIONAL BRAKES BEYOND THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. I CAUIOUSLY DROVE THE VEHICLE BACK, I HAD TO APPLY THE EMERGENCY BRAKES TWICE IN ORDER STOP THE VEHICLE AND AVOID RUNNING ANY MORE RED LIGHTS OR HITTING OTHER VEHICLES. I WAS SHOCKED THAT YOUR SERVICE ADVISOR SUGGESTED THAT I DRIVE THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP WHEN THERE WAS SOME PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKING SYSTEM. THE VSA MODULATOR LIGHT CAME ON AS I DROVE THE VEHICLE BACK. THEY SAID THEY "REPAIRED" THE VSA AND BRAKES, BUT NEVER THE DAMAGE TO THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE, MEL RAPTON REFUSES TO RESPOND TO REQUESTS FOR REPAIRS AND HONDA AMERICA ISN'T HELPING.

I HAVE A 2007 EX WITH 13,000 MILES AND BOTH OF THE TAILGATE (HATCH) STRUTS JUST FAILED SUDDENTLY ON 08/15/2010. THERE SHOULD BE SOME ADDITIONAL SAFETY MECHANISM ON THESE SO THAT THEY JUST DON'T COLLAPSE AND CAUSE HARM (THE HATCH ALMOST SLAM MY 7-YEARS OLD SON ON THE HEAD). BOTH CAN NOT GO BAD AT ONE TIME AND EITHER ONE SHOULD SUPPORT SOME WEIGHT. IT IS QUITE DANGEROUS. THESE LIFTGATE STRUTS SHOULD BE RECALLED BEFORE BAD THINGS HAPPEN. HONDA SHOULD STAND BEHIND WHAT THEY PUT IN THESE CARS.

WE ARE OWNERS OF 2007 HONDA ODYSSEY (VIN # [XXX] ). ON JULY 13, 2010 AS WE WERE PULLING INTO A PARKING LOT, THE RIGHT HAND SIDE BACK WINDOW SUDDENLY EXPLODED. THE VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING LESS THAN 5 PER HOUR WHEN THIS HAPPENED. ALTHOUGH FOUR KIDS AND ONE ADULT WERE IN THE VEHICLE AT THE TIME, NO ONE WAS INJURED. WE IMMEDIATELY REPORTED THE INCIDENT TO THE LAW ENFORCEMENT (RPT # [XXX] WITH CITY OF COLUMBUS DIV. OF POLICE). THE POLICE SEARCHED FOR ANY FOREIGN OBJECT THAT MAY HAVE HIT THE WINDOW. THEY FOUND NOTHING INSIDE OR OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. ALTHOUGH WE HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING TEMPERATURE IN THE HIGH 80'S LOW 90'S, IT WAS IN THE 70'S LOW 80'S ON THAT DAY. WHEN WE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE ON-LINE FOR SIMILAR INCIDENTS, THERE WERE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS WITH REAR WINDOW EXPLODING. WE NOTIFIED THE LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP IMMEDIATELY FOR POTENTIALLY DEFECTIVE WINDOWS. ALTHOUGH THEY INDICATED NO SPECIFIC COMPLAINT SPECIFIC TO RIGHT BACK WINDOW, THEY SAID HONDA OF AMERICA WILL BE CONTACTED AND WILL GET BACK WITH US. WE HAVE THREE KIDS UNDER SIX YEARS OF AGE WHO PRIMARILY GET TRANSPORTED WITH THIS VEHICLE. TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF OUR FAMILY, WE REQUEST THE SAFETY CONCERN WITH THE WINDOW BE ADDRESSED ASAP. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

MY AC QUIT WORKING IN MY 2007 HONDA ODYSSEY. THIS WAS IN JULY, 2008 WITH ONLY 13900 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. I WAS TOLD IT WAS A HOLE IN CONDENSER, AND NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THE SERVICE ADVISOR EXPLAINED TO ME THAT IT WAS BECAUSE HONDA WAS MAKING THE GRILLE WIDER TO ALLOW THE ENGINE TO STAY COOLER. AND THAT THIS WAS A FREAK THING. NOW, LESS THAN 1 YEAR LATER, IT'S HAPPENED AGAIN! THEY WON'T FIX IT OR DISCOUNT IT DUE TO IT BEING "ROAD DAMAGE". I UNDERSTAND THAT NOW THEY ARE MAKING THEM WITH GRILLS FOR PROTECTION ON THE 2008 MODELS AND LATER. OBVIOUSLY THEY'VE REALIZED IT'S A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT.

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.

MY 2007 HONDA ODYSSEY'S AIR CONDITIONING STOPPED WORKING, THE VAN HAS ONLY 11,000 MILES ON IT. I TOOK THE VAN TO THE DEALER FOR SERVICE AND WAS TOLD THAT A ROCK HAD HIT THE AC CONDENSER AND THAT IT WAS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY. I FEEL THAT THEIR ASSESSMENT OF THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM TO BE VERY SUBJECTIVE, JUST HOW DO THEY KNOW THAT A ROCK CAUSED THE PROBLEM WITH NO VISIBLE DAMAGE.. I WAS TOLD THE PART WOULD COST $800.00 AND IT WOULD BE ORDERED. I HAVE SINCE FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS A FREQUENT PROBLEM THAT IS PROBABLY DUE TO FAULTY DESIGN. I FEEL HONDA SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COST OF REPAIRS AND DO A CORRECTIVE ACTION RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE.

EQUIPMENT:APPLIANCE:AIR CONDITIONER

IN MAY 2008, JUST 9 MONTHS AFTER DRIVING MY BRAND NEW 2007 HONDA ODYSSEY OFF THE SHOWROOM FLOOR, MY AIR CONDITIONING WENT OUT. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I HAD PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FULLY ANTICIPATING MY FACTORY WARRANTY TO COVER THE COST OF THE REPAIR. AFTER DIAGNOSING THE PROBLEM, I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT THE DEALERSHIP THAT A ROCK HAD PUNCTURED THE CONDENSER CAUSING THE COOLANT TO LEAK OUT. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THIS WAS DEEMED A ?FREAK ACCIDENT? AND AN ?ACT OF NATURE? AND THEREFORE WAS NOT A WARRANTY. THE TOTAL COST OF THE REPAIR, INCLUDING LABOR, WAS $780.00. I WAS INFORMED BY AMERICAN HONDA THAT THE ONLY WARRANTABLE REPAIRS ARE ?FACTORY DEFECTS?. I EXAMINED THE FRONT OF MY VAN ALONG THE BOTTOM AND I DISCOVERED THAT MY CONDENSER SITS RIGHT AT THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE, COMPLETELY EXPOSED. I INVESTIGATED THE MATTER FURTHER AND DISCOVERED THAT IN THE NEXT YEAR'S MODEL, THE 2008 ODYSSEY, HONDA HAS GONE IN AND ADDED A GRILL OVER THE CONDENSER TO PROTECT IT. I ALSO DISCOVERED THOUSANDS OF OTHER ODYSSEY OWNERS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM AND WERE GIVEN THE EXACT SAME REGURGITATE ANSWER FROM THEIR DEALERSHIP AND FROM AMERICAN HONDA. THIS WAS NOT A FREAK ACCIDENT, RATHER, IT IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM ON THESE VEHICLES CAUSED BY A DEFECTIVE DESIGN.
