2007 HONDA ODYSSEY — Complaint #1057717
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about EQUIPMENT:APPLIANCE:AIR CONDITIONER filed April 17, 2014
NHTSA complaint #1057717 (ODI reference 10583415) concerns a 2007 HONDA ODYSSEY and was filed on April 17, 2014. The owner reports the failure occurred on September 18, 2013. The vehicle had 130,000 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to Arizona based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as equipment:appliance:air conditioner, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same HONDA ODYSSEY cohort independently describe similar equipment:appliance:air conditioner failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2007 HONDA ODYSSEY shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
Complaint Description
OUR 2007 HONDA ODYSSEY SUDDENLY STARTED BLOWING HOT AIR OUT OF THE DRIVERS SIDE WITH THE AIR CONDITIONING ON. WE HAD RECENTLY HAD TO REPLACE THE COMPRESSOR, AND THOUGHT THAT THERE WAS JUST A LEAK IN A HOSE, WE REFILLED THE FREON A FEW TIMES BEFORE THE WEATHER COOLED DOWN AND THEN LEFT IT ALONE FOR THE WINTER. WHEN I WENT TO HAVE IT FIXED LAST WEEK, I FOUND OUT THERE WAS A HOLE IN THE CONDENSER, JUST LIKE I HAD HEARD HAD HAPPENED TO A LOT OF OTHER 2007 ODYSSEY OWNERS. $970.00 LATER OUR AIR CONDITIONING WORKS, BUT THERE IS NOTHING TO STOP THIS FROM HAPPENING AGAIN. HONDA STILL ISN'T DOING ANYTHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. THEY SHOULD AT LEAST OFFER TO PAY FOR A GUARD UNDER THE VEHICLE TO PREVENT THE PROBLEM FROM RECURRING. WHEN YOU LIVE IN ARIZONA LIKE I DO, THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. *TT
