2005 Honda Odyssey LX review from North America
"For $32, 000 this vehicle is a piece of junk"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
AIR CONDITIONER FAILURE AT 39,000 MILES.
At 39000 miles the air conditioner stopped working, I I returned to the dealer who advised me that it was out of warranty and that the part that I need was $250.00, I had it installed, the unit worked for 2 days and again failed, I returnd to the dealer and they advised me that the condenser had rotted out and I needed a new one. The condenser installed cost over $500.00.
BRAKE PROBLEMS
Purchased this vehicle new and the front end vibrated when stopping. I returned to the dealer and they said the rotors were probably warped and they did not replace them, but cut the rotors that were on vehicle. This solved the problem, but now I have reconditioned rotors on a new vehicle.
General comments?
My two previous vehicles were an Explorer and a Wind sar and never had such serious problems.
