Cooling System
The air conditioner and all components stopped working suddenly - i have around 110,000 miles on the crv. The dealer says the whole system needs to be replaced due to metal and contamination in the lines, cost is around $2200.00. I see this is a common problem with crv's. Why is there no recall? I think we should get it replaced for free. *tr

My a/c compressor exploded at around 47,000 miles sending shards of metal throughout the entire cooling/heating system. I was told it would cost about $3000 to repair. That is not a case of normal wear and tear. The part is faulty. It exploded. Honda says it's not their fault, sometimes parts wear out. *tr

While driving, car began making loud whining noise. Then a loud bang, and some big piece of metal fell off the car onto the road. Air conditioner stopped blowing cold.

On my 2004 honda crv that i have meticulously cared for, started hearing clunking noises, then the a/c was not working. The airport honda dealer (knoxville, tn) said i needed to replace 2 fans for $460 (using non-honda parts) and i had to get a rental car for 3 days for another $131. Someone told me that a/c problems are common on crvs. My car is way past warranty. But i thought hondas were such good cars. I think…

2004 crv: after several hours of problem-free driving on freeway, we heard a loud popping noise and some clunking/rattling noises coming from beneath the car (sounded like we ran over something and it was bouncing around underneath but there was nothing in the road). Sound ceased for a few seconds and then a few more clunks/rattles before sound ceased again. Then we noticed that the air conditioner was no longer…

Hot air blowing from ac vents. Thought it must just be low on freon. Looked online and discovered thousands of people with the same vehicle are having the same problem. The compressor blows and causes hundreds if not thousands of $'s to be fixed. Currently the car is at a body shop who told me i got lucky and the repairs would only amount to $835 because the part alone is $550. Contacted honda america and they…

I bought two 2004 crv's new in 12/2004. Air conditioner compressors is not blow cold air any more. The job cost $4470 for fixing only this problem. Sounds crazy price. Dealer -they would not admit to me that this has been a widespread problem usa nationwide . Honda should be investigated in my opinion. I think this problem should also handled by "nhtsa" . Vehicle had less than 80,000 miles. If honda does not address…

I have a 2010 honda crv the ac compressor failed at 60k and destroyed the entire ac system the estimated cost of repair is $2500. I live in atlanta and can not own a car without ac. I have been reading on line and this seems to be a common problem with the vehicle. The compressor belt is driven by the engine and if the compressor locks up the engine will stall. If this happen in traffic on the highway this will…

While driving to portland, or. From wa heard a loud squeal from the front of the engine. Turns out the a/c compressor is burned out at 84k miles. Honda said it was my problem and not a safety concern. The one serpentine belt drives the water pump, power steering pump, alternator and the a/c compressor at the bottom of the engine. The portland dealer would not advise me to drive it at all. If the belt burns off do to…

After 5 years of problem free driving, my crv started making a loud rattling sound after driving for about 10 minutes. I tried turning the blower fan off , then air conditioner off and realized it was the ac making the noise. I left the ac off from then on and took the car to the closest dealer the very next day. They told me the compressor had "seized" and that metal particles had been forced throughout the entire…
