    Electrical System

    All interior gauges flicker and stop working (i.e., fuel, speedometer, odometer, engine temperature, dash lights) and some warning lights flicker (parking brake, maintenance required). It is now happening daily and lasts longer and longer. Car also makes a scary "ticking" sound. Honda dealer stated that instrument cluster has gone bad (shorted out?) *tr

    Electrical System · Engine And Engine Cooling

    The a/c compressor has failed twice. The first time at 106101 miles in 2008 and the second time at 135567 miles on may 3, 2012. So it lasted just 29466 miles. This is unacceptable and upsetting. The new one is already starting to act up but at least it's under warranty since it has only been 3 weeks since it was installed. Honda needs to redesign the compressor so people can at least get a reliable replacement part.…

    The srs light came on in my 2002 honda crv which has only 35000 miles. I took it to the dealer who informed me that the srs must have went bad and it would cost $700 to fix. I asked if the light on could be caused by the front passenger seat belt locking up regularly which temporarily does not allow you to get enough seat belt to actually reach the buckle and the dealer said that might be the problem but i still…

    I own a honda crv 2002 ex with automatic transmission and ~12,000 miles. My wife drives the car and it has stalled twice while slowing down to turn in our drive way, the exact spot. It's hard to start afterwards. She does start to undo the seat belt right before the car dies. This is not reproducible. This is dangerous and could cause a fatal accident. *jb
