Engine And Engine Cooling
While driving from southern california to northern california, the ac was working just fine when a high pitched squeal started coming from the engine. Lifting my foot off the gas seemed to help and the noise went away, but the noise came back, and a thumping sound started to come through and a small pop happened, sending some sort of black canister shooting out from under my car and onto the freeway. I pulled over…

Clutch on air conditioner broke off resulting in contamination of other systems. This is a well known problem with this vehicle. I feel this should be a recall due to the numerous problems with this a/c. *tr

The a/c compressor in my 2004 cr-v "blew up" and stopped working on may 2, 2009. A local honda dealership replaced the part on may 5, 2009. The vehicle only had 62k miles on it. The dealership said there were issues with earlier models of the cr-v, but that honda had changed the type of compressor in the 2004 models. However, there are a lot of blogs on the internet devoted to a/c compressor issues with the cr-vs,…

2004 honda crv. Air conditioner failed at < 72,000 miles. No other issues with the car. But no one can drive it. I have ms and we're on a fixed income, so i can't afford to get it fixed. Because of the ms, i can't take heat. I opened a case with honda, but they want me to have the dealer look at it first. That would cost close to $80. Not possible right now. *tr
