NHTSA Complaint #11282580 — 2007 HONDA ODYSSEY

I HAD BOUGHT MY 2007 HONDA ODYSSEY USED IN AUGUST 2017 PRIOR TO OUR SECOND CHILD BEING BORN. IT WAS ONE FAMILY OWNED WITH APPROXIMATELY 75K MILES ON IT. ABOUT 6 MONTHS INTO IT THE AC COMPRESSOR BROKE CAUSING THE CAR TO CEASE BEING DRIVABLE AND REQUIRING A TOW TO OUR MECHANIC. HE FOUND THAT NOT ONLY DID THE COMPRESSOR BREAK BUT ALSO THE SERPENTINE BELT AND THE TENSIONER HAD GONE. WE HAD THE REPAIR DONE AND EVERYTHING SEEMED FINE UNTIL ABOUT ANOTHER SIX MONTHS WENT BY AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. THE AC COMPRESSOR STOPPED WORKING, THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AT ALL AND REQUIRED A TOW AND THE SERPENTINE BELT AND TENSIONER WERE BROKEN AGAIN. ALL WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, BUT THE INCONVENIENCE FACTOR IS MORE PROBLEMATIC. THIS ISSUE HAS HAPPENED FOUR TIMES IN THE TWO YEARS THAT WE HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE. I HAVE SEEN SIMILAR COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER OWNERS OF 2007 HONDA ODYSSEYS. I HAVE INDICATED THE MOST RECENT DATE OF THE INCIDENT.
