It was first noticeable with a rattling noise under the hood - needs compressor, dryer, receiver, condenser etc replaced for around $1000-2200 at an independent mechanic. Dealer is approx. $2500-3500 which i have not pinned down yet. Am. Honda will do nothing. Mileage should not be a…

The ac started to make banging noise, then ceased to work. This started at about 100,000 miles, just after the warranty expired. In 90-100 degree weather this is extremely dangerous -- i find myself falling asleep behind the wheel in the heat, even when windows are open. I can't afford $2000+ for repairs. Apparently lots of cr-v owners are experiencing this problem with ac compressor. Honda should be recalling this…

I purchased my 2002 honda cr-v ex new & have had all of the recommended services performed by my local honda dealer. Around 7/12/2006, my a/c stopped working at 57,023 miles. The power switch made a strange clunking noise & the a/c failed to start right away. I immediately turned the switch off & back on. The fan came on, but only blew out hot air. I took it to my regular honda dealer & paid $153.40 to have them…

The ac air compressor clutch on my 2002 honda crv fell out while i was coming to a stop at a light. Fortunately, no one was hurt. I do not know if there was any other damage to the car from this incident especially any other internal components or parts. I took it to a honda dealer. They want to charge me over 1200 to install new one air compressor. I asked whether their was any recall on this part, they said no…

I have a 2002 honda cr-v that had 135,000 miles at the time the compressor imploded. American honda is aware of the issue. The compressor implodes, shooting shards of metal throughout the ac system, resulting in expensive replacement of parts other than the compressor. Essentially the entire ac system needs to be rebuilt at a cost in the neighborhood of $2500-3500 (my bill came to $3100). American honda refused to…

My case person is a mr. Darrell harville and his boss…

On a trip to merced, ca.summer of 2008. My 2002 honda crv air condition compressor failed. It required replaced every part for entire a/c system. The system failed without any warning. Total cost $3500. I do think if compressor failed it should not ruin the entire. This is the clear case of defective designed system. *tr

We own a 2002 honda . The air conditioning compressor and other parts involving the air conditioning went out in 2005 (oct) just after the warranty expired. We had it all replaced. They called it "goodwill" and we did not have to pay for it. Yesterday july 14, 2008 it appears to have gone out again, the same way as before. I went to an online board on edmonds and read up on all the complaints that they have had with…

My 2002 honda crv with 61k miles suddenly began making a very loud sound which stopped when i turned off the air conditioning. I immediately drove to a nearby honda dealer. A service technical looked under the hood and told me that the a.c. Compressor has exploded. I was handed an estimate of $4001 to repair. I took it to 2 independent repair shops and was told that the compressor had "imploded" and "was grenaded".…

2002 crv ordered and bought new in 2004 and 2005 replaced whole air conditioning unit first time had to wait as parts were not available. In 2006 have to replace cooling fans as both not working. Honda helped with part of cost for first two repairs but this should not happen this car is a lemon. *nm
