Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Honda odyssey air conditioner stopped working one day. took it to the local princeton honda dealer in nj. he said its because of a leak in the condenser and that a stone from the road hit the car and that it is not covered under warranty. i found it hard to believe that a stone would cause this. called honda america customer service, they gave me the same reason. it cost me about $850 to replace the condenser. then i researched and found out that a lot of people have this issue with the honda odyssey. here is a link to the newsgroup --> http://www.topix.net/forum/autos/honda-odyssey/tjbopfur3svarkhcj/p2#lastpost looks like a bad grill design at the least. honda refuses to acknowledge this problem. not sure what to do hence filing this complaint. *nm
