Air Conditioner problems of the 2002 Honda CR-V

Tomorrow I take my 2002 Honda Cr-v in for it's fifth air conditioner compressor. If it wasn't for the concern about visibility to defrost/defog the windshield in certain weather conditions, would not be shelling out another $1600 plus tax on this reliability highly overrated vehicle. Currently has only 166,600 miles on it. This time failure is being attributed to the condenser fan needing replacement also. At least this is the first time the compressor didn't just completely fail. Buying it as a certified used vehicle only helped with the first replacement, so I guess it was worth it, but certainly didn't get the long term peace of mind expected for the extra cost. Honda knows they have a problem but appear to not care to help owners cope with the exorbitant cost of owning this over priced vehicle.

In 2006 with 66000 miles and under normal driving conditions the air conditioning system started to give off burning smell which caused headaches and nausea before the system failed completely. A/c compressor was found to have failed and it was replaced. Then in August 2013 with 95000 miles the unit failed again with the same issue and same toxic fumes. Am concerned about the health impact of this especially due to the frequency of this failure. Research has shown that this component is of inadequate design and Honda lost a class action lawsuit due to frequent failures. This failure rate, while not impacting the safety of the car, does have potential health hazards for the occupants beyond reasonable risk.

Air conditioner failure four times on 2002 Honda crv.

We have a 2002 Honda cr v with 102,000 miles on it. The air conditioner compressor exploded, contaminating the air conditioner system. I have learned that this is a regularly recurring problem with Honda, but they refuse to correct the problem and refuse to help the consumer.

My 2002 Honda Cr-v with 70,000mi air conditioner clutch stopped working. This seems to be a trend with others Honda Cr-v owners.

I own a 2002 Honda Cr-v ex and its has 75,780 miles on it and today the air conditioner pump has failed. The pump has fragmented parts into the whole a/c system and will be a rather high repair rate from my local shop.
