2000 Honda Odyssey Equipment Problems

MARCH 2007. WAS INFORMED BY HONDA DEALERSHIP IN IRVINE, CA THAT THE PROBLEM THAT EXISTED WITH MY 2000 HONDA ODYSSEY NOT PROVIDING COLD AIR WAS IN FACT A DAMAGED A/C CONDENSER. THE SERVICE TECH. SHOWED ME THE AREA IN THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE WHERE THE DAMAGE TO THE A/C CONDENSER HAD OCCURRED. THE SERVICE TECH INFORMED ME THAT THE RESULT WAS MOST LIKELY FROM A ROCK OR SIMILAR OBJECT STRIKING THE CONDENSER. AFTER FURTHER REVIEWING THE DAMAGED CONDENSER, I REALIZED THAT THE CONDENSER IS MOUNTED IN SUCH A FASHION IN THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE AS NOT HAVING THE PROTECTION FROM ROAD DEBRIS THAT IT POSSIBLY SHOULD. THERE IS ONLY A SMALL GRILL THAT COVERS THE FRONT OF THE A/C CONDENSER. I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT A DESIGN PROBLEM EXISTS WITH THE ODYSSEY, IN THE FACT THAT I HAVE READ NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS SIMILAR TO MY SITUATION THAT OTHERS CURRENTLY OR PREVIOUSLY HAVE HAD WITH THE HONDA ODYSSEY. *JB

THE FACTORY JACK COLLAPSED WHILE THE CONSUMER WAS CHANGING A TIRE. THE JACK COULD NOT SUPPORT THE WEIGHT OF THE VAN. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY ADDITION INFORMATION. *NLM

2000 HONDA ODYSSEY SUFFERED AIR CONDITIONER FAILURE. *MR THE A/C WAS NOT OUT OF WARRANTY WHEN IT FAILED, HOWEVER HONDA REFUSED TO MAKE THE REPAIRS FREE OF CHARGE BECAUSE IT WAS 4 MONTHS OVER THEIR 36 MONTHS WARRANTY PROGRAM. *SCC *JB

I HAVE A 2000 HONDA ODYSSEY LX. THE CUP HOLDER IN THE REAR SEAT DOES NOT HOLD THE CUP PROPERLY AND OFTEN FALLS OFF. THIS HAS CAUSED BEVERAGE SPILL ON THE PERSONS IN THE CAR AT THAT TIME. AT LEAST TWO OF THE SPILLS WERE FROM HOT BEVERAGE. I HAVE REPORTED THIS TO THE MANUFACTURER BUT THEY SAY THAT IT IS NOT A RECALL. INTERESTINGLY THEY HAVE CHANGED THE CUP HOLDERS IN THEIR NEWER MODELS. *LA
