general problems of the 2007 Honda Odyssey

While traveling on the highway, a rock hit my a/c condenser. A replacement condenser costs $700-1,000. Please ask Honda to invent some sort of condenser guard to protect it from road debris. My father had same problem with his 2006 Honda Odyssey.

When I turn or go straight, with and without brakes on, at a slow speed, I hear a loud horn-like sound. Seems to be coming from front. I only have about 21,000 miles and bought it new. This problem has been happening most of the time we've owned it (almost 3 years). Dealer can't make the problem happen. I even left it overnight. It usually happens when I leave home. I make short trips to school and store. It is sporadic. I heard another Odyssey with the same noise pulling into a parking spot the other day. Is this common? it is annoying and embarrassing. It can be quite loud. Since I've had the recall done, it's not as frequent.

2007 Honda Odyssey van. We noticed two small stains on the carpet in the rear storage area, where the 3rd row seats can be stored. We tried to clean the carpet with resolve, but that made the stains bigger. When we vacuumed the carpet, we found an oily residue with the consistency of lithium grease in the vacuum attachment. We removed the rear seats and folded the carpeting back. There's a gray panel of soundproofing or something else at the bottom of the cargo area, and that panel is disintegrating, leaving behind a tarry residue. The tarry residue is what reached up through the carpet to cause the stain. I don't know why the panel itself is disintegrating. We purchased the car used from a dealer in April 2010, and first noticed the problem in July 2010.

While driving in heavy raining conditions or flow of water pool, on roadway or hwy, vehicle wants to shut off displaying no charging, like I have no power for a few seconds. Twice this occurred on hwy speed 70+ or 25-30 +, on roadway with heavy rain and flow of water pool splash during turn vehicle shut off and power up within approximately 3-5 seconds. I was able to move over to the off road medium and regain engine power. This has happen numerous times in the course of 2 yrs. Bringing vehicle to Honda dealership which they cant repeat complaint even with hosing engine belt with water,though the tech stated many customers have reported this during raining conditions. Note no power steering due to this event. Ret nypd.

Honda Odyssey 2007 exl: brake pedal is soft requiring pressing almost to the bottom to stop the car. Dealer did replace master cylinder but no difference, the same scary feeling especially on a highway. Couple times I even manage to press brake and accelerator pedals at the same time while trying to stop a car. The first time it happened (it was in canada and road was slippery) I had to use parking brake to stop a car.
