Crv with 45,000 miles made loud grinding noise and a/c stopped working. Occupants could have suffocated due to lack of air conditioning in car as medical conditions prevented occupants from opening windows.
The ac compressor literally exploded, causing other damage.
I called Honda about my air condtioning system and did as they said. I brought my car to an accredited Honda dealership and had it diagnosed (which I had to pay out of my own pocket). They quoted me $4,000. I contacted Honda USA and after three month I finally heard back from them, I informed them that I was not the first to have this problem, that I had gone online and found that I was not the only Honda owner who have had there air conditioning system break. The Honda representive told me that they can not go by what I read on the internet. Which is true to a point but I think they had have many complaints about this problem already because the representive use the same description I have read about the air conditioning unit, which was "air conditioning unit has cracked causing shards of metal to plug up the unit, causing a complete replacement of the entire air conditioning unit. Honda USA quoted me $3,991 to fix my a/c with a deadline of 60 days to accept or they would recend the "discount" offer. I know a/c problems is not a safety issue but I feel that Honda knew or knows about this problem and should recall or show there loyal owners that they care. Until such time I am now a former Honda customer.
I was driving down a highway in annapolis, maryland at 55 mph and the entire sunroof of my 2002 Honda crv suddenly shattered into thousands of tiny glass fragments that showered down upon my daughter (in the front passenger seat) and I. Nothing had fallen onto it from above, and there were no prior cracks or defects in the glass. There was a loud noise as this occurred, suggesting the double pane glass simply "exploded".
My 2002 Honda Cr-v gas cap kept coming loose. We went back to Honda a bought a new gas cap, but within weeks that too kept coming loose. I just brought my car in to Honda because of a failure with the drivers door actuator and switch and the check engine light is now on and I was told that the reason the cap kept coming loose and the light is on was because I needed the replace the filler neck. This repair was going to be over $300. 00. Since I had just spent a lot to fix the door and switch, I decided to wait until I could afford it. In the meantime, I am tightening the cap daily so that the smell of gasoline goes away.
The ac started to make banging noise, then ceased to work. This started at about 100,000 miles, just after the warrantee expired. In 90-100 degree weather this is extremely dangerous -- I find myself falling asleep behind the wheel in the heat, even when windows are open. I can't afford $2000+ for repairs. Apparently lots of Cr-v owners are experiencing this problem with ac compressor. Honda should be recalling this vehicle and pay for its repairs.
Air conditioner failed on my 2002 Honda crv. Upon turning the a/c dial on, a very loud grinding/knocking sound was heard by the engine comparment and killed the engine off.
There was a loud rattling noise coming from my air conditioner. My husband took a look at it. When he turned the air conditioner on and went around to the front of the car. The ball bearings in my compressor failed and the compressor exploded. Shards of metal flew from under the car. From the research I have done there have been a lot of Honda crvs doing the same. If anyone was standing near the car at the time of explosion, they could have been hurt.
Normal intown driving, air conditioner compressor "blew up"-metal from front side of compressor blown out.
Sun visor detaches on drivers side for no apparent reason. All 3 times visor was replaced by various Honda dealers (we moved since 1s t occurence) at no charge. It did not cause an accident, but could have if visor detached while drivng at a higher speed or in traffic, as the visor pops off and hits the driver.

Me 2002 Honda crv has a defect in a motor mount. The dealer said this is not a safety issue. It is annoying; when I drive on bumpy roads, there is a "thunking" sound. I have reported this to american Honda. I 've talked to my dealer several times. They cannot repair without approval from Honda.

Vehicle has had 4 or 5 recall notices. The last one was regarding the ignition switch key interlock. When the vehicle was taken for recall repair the dealership didn't have the parts available to fix the switch. The cigarette light stopped working.
