In 2006, the air conditioning compressor failed in our 2002 honda crv. The car had about 63,000 miles at the time. Our honda dealer said the warranty had expired and the part was not covered by a recall. We purchased a new honda replacement compressor and had it installed at a local shop because honda's labor price was outrageous...over $3000! This repair cost us about $2500. In 2007, the compressor failed again at…

After reading on the internet i saw where several hondas have had this…

While driving down the highway, i heard an odd, continuous noise that made me think that it was my ac. I immediately switched off the ac, but the noise continued briefly and then was followed by a loud bang from the engine compartment and the sound of something breaking loose and flapping around the engine compartment. When i could safely stop, i turned the ac back on. The fan ran but the air was not cold. When i…

If anyone was standing near the car at the time of…

The air conditioner in my 2002 honda crv failed completely. I understand that there is a defect in the compressors. The factory has an updated unit. Honda has not recalled the air conditioners even though they are aware of this defect. This repair can run up to $3000.00 retail. This is not a clear safety issue unless the compressor failure causes the power steering pump to go. *nm

Air conditioner system failure. A safety concern in that this locks up the compressor pulley and possibly the entire engine belt. Also, defroster not working properly. Replaced by honda.*ak
