I am filing a report due to oil that was leaked onto the exhaust system of my car and resulted in my car catching on fire. This damage has been attributed to oil filter gaskets that have not been properly removed. I have contacted honda, and they have only offered to provide me with a letter explaining that it is best to have my oil change at their dealership. I feel it is a manufacture defect to have a car model…

We have a 2002 honda crv. The 1st air compressor locked up/blew up at approximately 70k miles. The extended warranty covered the replacement. Now the 2nd compressor has done the same thing. Extended warranty has expired. Cost is $2300. Have read that this year of crv has defective compressors. Honda america offered to pay 25% ($408) which is not adequate since this is our 2nd compressor and the product appears to be…

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.…

Strange noise from engine then a/c blowing only hot air. Took car to nearby goodyear service facility to check system. Compressor had blown apart-several sizable chunks were recovered. Apparently honda uses substandard metals in the compressors since this is a recurring problem. *tr
