There was a loud banging sound and the air conditioner, which was on and working great, stopped blowing cold air. I researched the problem and found that this has been very common on honda cr-vs. From my experience and the four different failure modes that have been identified, it sounds like the ac compressor exploded or imploded and could have left shards of metal on the highway i was driving on. Two other failure…

Approximately 2 months ago, periodically, while driving (30-45mph) we would hear an unusual whirling noise in the motor; not harsh but more a purring sound. The next time we drove the car we would not hear it. It continued but spasmodically. Then in november we began having trouble starting the engine. We had a new battery installed but again, periodically, both the whirling noise and no engine turnover. Yesterday,…

The air conditioning goes out intermittently when the outside temperature is above ~85f. This happened more and more frequently until the system stopped putting out cold air altogether. This is a known problem with cr-vs, and honda extended the warranty on the a/c compressor clutch to 100,000 miles. A mechanic diagnosed this as my problem, although it happened 4,000 miles over the extended limit for warranty…

A/c stopped working. Took into mechanic as i thought the it needed recharged. Instead, the a/c and clutch had to be replaced for $1300. Had to take back to the mechanic as it still wasn't working a 2nd day. They recharged again. It stopped working the 3rd day, and the compressor relay was replaced. This car is only 5 years old. *tr

After several days of intermittent air-conditioning (cooling) function, the ac compressor failed. Dealer mechanic reports the compressor coil failed (melted?). Conditions at the time were high ambient temperatures (ca. 90-100 degrees f). I'm filing this report to corroborate numerous online accounts of similar failures in newer model honda cr-vs with 50,000-60,000 miles of use. *tr
