Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Today i am told by local honda dealers service shop that my ac condenser needs to be replaced due to road debris (probably a rock) and the cost will be over $900. i have a 2005 honda odyssey with less than 30,000 miles. of course this happened when we were out of town and drove home in 95+ degree temperatures. i have seen hundreds of complaints online about the very same complaint. apparently it is a design flaw that honda is well aware of. now i am faced with paying it all out of pocket or using my insurance with its $500 deductible after having been told that our coverage could very well go up in the future because of it (yet insurance company could not say how much or when). i am between a rock and a hard place... much like the poorly designed honda ac condenser. *jb
