Description of the problem | I own a 2005 honda odyssey... I had a full failure in the a/c clutch or compressor system. I have seen an enormous amount of customer complaints at how honda has denied responsibility for a design defect and calls the usual break down as a rock -->where other reputable businesses (goodyear) call it a basic failure. I have never owned a vehicle that is only 4 yrs old -- bought 2 yrs used -- that has a full a/c system failure of this type -- unusual and uncalled for... Additionally parts and equipment are understocked or unavailable --> repairs will cost me $1600 in parts and additional $400 for repairs.. Ridiculous on a 4 yr old car... And uncalled for at its current age. No rough driving -- no rough usage -- family car used for family travel only... Now out of commission for nearly a week while awaiting parts... On a common problem as this parts should be more readily available but due to the lack of acknowledgment by the honda corp... We have a shortage on the market that they are profiting from at a probable enormous rate. |
