Consumer Description

AIR CONDITIONER STOPPED WORKING ON 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY. TOOK IN FOR REPAIR AND WERE TOLD THAT IT WAS CAUSED BY "ROAD DEBRIS" HITTING THE COMPRESSOR AND PUNCTURING IT. NOT COVERED UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT WE PURCHASED IN THE EVENT THAT SOMETHING WOULD GO WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THESE VANS, AND THERE IS A WAY TO FIX THE PROBLEM BY COVERING THE ARE WITH A MESH SCREEN, BUT HONDA IS UNWILLING TO HELP IN ANY WAY. IT SEEMS THAT IT IS REASONABLE TO EXPECT THAT YOU COULD DRIVE ON THE ROAD WHERE THERE ARE ROCKS WITHOUT IT CAUSING THE COMPRESSOR TO BE PUNCTURED. I AM ALSO CONCERNED WITH THE ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY ISSUE OF THE CHEMICALS BEING RELEASED ONTO THE ROADS DUE TO A FAULTY DESIGN ON HONDA'S PART. HONDA NEEDS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. *TR
