THE DEALER FOUND A HOLE IN THE A/C COMPRESSOR FOR MY 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY. I HAD NOTICE NO COLD AIR BLOWING AND THE DEALER DID A DIAGNOSTIC. I AM NOW FACED WITH A $900 REPAIR BILL. AFTER RESEARCHING THE ISSUE I HAVE FOUND THAT HUNDREDS OF HONDA OWNERS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE A/C COMPRESSOR. THE DEALER EVEN ACKNOWLEDGED THAT HONDA IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND WILL NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THE COMPRESSOR IS PLACED IN AN AREA WITH NO PROTECTION, MAKING IT VULNERABLE TO DAMAGE. I FEEL HONDA SHOULD OFFER A RECALL OF THE VEHICLE TO PROTECT THE AIR COMPRESSOR TO REDUCE THE RISK OF THIS HAPPENING. MANY OF THE COMPLAINTS ON SAW ON LINE, THE SAME PROBLEM HAPPENED TO THEIR CAR ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION. *TR
