We were able to complete the remainder of our 700 mile journey home. I still have the part, if you care to inspect it. They informed me the ignition switch "burned up" inside. The Honda dealership to which the vehicle was towed replaced the ignition switch and fixed the problem. We turned off the vehicle and waited for the tow truck. After about 10 minutes, we noticed the burning smell and puffs of smoke coming from the steering column. While sitting on the side of the highway waiting for the tow truck, we turned on the vehicle again to operate the air conditioning. After investigating the vehicle, we decided to call a tow truck. Again, the vehicle ceased operations after a few minutes. My initial efforts to restart the vehicle were unsuccessful, but after 5 minutes, I was able to restart the vehicle. About a minute after we pulled over, the vehicle ceased all operations. About two minutes later, while still traveling on the highway at 70 mph, the vehicle lost all acceleration. We were returning from a family vacation traveling on the interstate highway system at 70 mph when, without any warning, all the dials on the dashboard (speedometer, tachometer, etc) suddenly went to zero then immediately returned to normal. When living in georgia in triple digit heat, this can quickly become a safety issue. There is no justification for exposing this vital part. Honda needs to fix this design flaw for its customers by either shield the condenser or move it to a location less susceptible to road debris impact. A search on the issue seems that several other owners are experiencing the same issue with their vehicles. When we took it back to the shop, the dye showed up on the ac condenser.

On July 9, 2019, the unit started blowing hot air again.

At the same time a dye was placed to identify any leakage should it occur again. On may 7, 2019, we took the vehicle in to a non-Honda shop for an ac performance check and paid for an evacuation and recharge. This is the second Odyssey that has had the same issue.
