My air conditioner condenser exploded. I turned on the air conditioner and at first hot air was coming through. . Then nothing. Took it to the Honda dealer in manassas and they informed me that the air conditioner condenser exploded and there were small metal pieces throughout the line. They wanted over $4000 to repair it. They later counter offered to fix it for $2600. After I did research I found that this was a common problem for crv's 2002-2004. I was told not to drive the car because the condenser could lock up and cause other problems. I don't understand why I have to pay for something that is clearing a damage and defective piece of machinery that was installed by Honda. This is my car that I need so that I can continue to serve my community as a volunteer and as a substitute teacher.
Letter from congresswoman giffords on behalf of constituent regarding problems with her Honda 2004 crv (attachments not imaged) the consumer experienced problems with the air condition unit freezing, the engine blew spark plugs into the cylinder head, the propeller protection shaft was installed incorrectly, the vehicle would accelerate at times and the hood release latch failed while the consumer was driving.
Driving down the highway, there was a loud pop that you could feel throughout the vehicle. It sound like a gun had been fired at close range. The engine died immediately and the car was difficult to keep under control because of the loss of power steering and brakes. The car would not restart until the defroster was turned off. If the heater, a/c, or defroster was turned back on the vehicle would immediately stall again. The dealership found the a/c compressor suffered catastrophic failure and littered the entire air conditioning system with metal debris. We were quoted a repair cost of $3500. Our extended warranty covered the compressor (although aftermarket) but were stuck with the bill for the high pressure lines and other small parts that still totaled nearly $1000. A search of the problem proves this is extremely common for this generation of Cr-v, with thousands of complaints in online forums, chats, message boards, enthusiast clubs, and even dot NHTSA complaints. There are no similar complaints on other Honda a/c compressors that are this widespread. The fact that this particular compressors part number is not used on other Honda vehicle indicates that there a) problem with the design, b) a problem with the manufacturing process, c) a problem with the initial install or maintenance of the compressor, or d) some combination of the previous stated possibilities. These systems are failing at high rates for such low mileages, they last much longer on other vehicles (even other Hondas). In addition to the problem there is also the fact that many owners get varying responses from the dealerships and from Honda corporate as to how the situation is handled. Some owners are covered 100% by a "good faith" warranty as the representative acknowledges the problem is common. Some owners, such as me, are on our own or have to rely on a limited extended warranty that covers the failure but not the parts that the failure took out with it. Please help us!.
About 2 weeks ago my Honda Cr-v 2004 stalled in a car wash and wouldn't start. After about 20 minutes I was able to get it started. Since then my Cr-v has had trouble starting. I've also noticed my heater not working as effectively and just recently the car started to over heat. I took it to the mechanic immediately. After a day they said I had gotten water in my gas tank and a water bubble in my coolant system. They flushed everything out, dried it and replaced my coolant. So far my car seems to be running smoothly again.
The caller said while driving vehicle stalls. It happens at any speed and without warning. After struggling to get it off the road it will start back up. This has happened twice.
