The ac compressor knocks as if it want to come off the engine. This happens while driving causing to jerk the car forward when it kicks in, then stops and kicks in again shortly there after. The car almost stalled out just because of this. The engine works hard at keeping the compressor from shutting the car down. One of these days it will come of the engine.

Car stalls when you brake to stop or if stopped will stall when you begin to accelerate. Also will stall when moving the drive indicator from drive to reverse or reverse to drive when stopped. Car stalls when making slow turns. Stalls are totally unpredictable. Honda states that it can't fix the problem without a fault code. Stalling is a serious issue that can cause an accident.

Failure Date: 01/21/2009

The contact owns a 2002 Honda Cr-v. While driving approximately 45 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle was towed to an authorized dealer and they stated that the timing chain was the cause of the failure, thus the engine needed to be replaced. Secondly, because the contact did not follow the warranty agreement, they would not assume financial responsibility for any repairs. The vehicle has not been repaired. The failure and current mileages were 95,000.

4 Car Stall problem

Failure Date: 01/01/2009

While driving at approx 45 mph, the engine in my 2002 Honda Cr-v ex lost power and stalled in the middle of the highway. I was able to restart the engine and get it to the side of the road where it stalled again. I tried to restart again but the engine could not turn over. Had car towed to Acura dealer where it was diagnosed that the spark plug could not be removed from cylinder #3 and the engine could not be turned over. The engine had seized. A complaint has been filed with Honda and the car towed to a Honda dealer for further investigation. Had I been traveling at high speed on a limited access road this would have been far more dangerous and might have resulted in severe injury or death.

5 Car Stall problem

Failure Date: 04/29/2008

The a/c compressor has failed twice. The first time at 106101 miles in 2008 and the second time at 135567 miles on may 3, 2012. So it lasted just 29466 miles. This is unacceptable and upsetting. The new one is already starting to act up but at least it's under warranty since it has only been 3 weeks since it was installed. Honda needs to redesign the compressor so people can at least get a reliable replacement part. Honda should lose their reputation for building quality cars and I will never buy another one because of this.

7 Car Stall problem

Failure Date: 06/16/2002

My car stalled in the middle of the road. I couldn't start it and had to towed it down to dealer. I was lucky that it did not happened in the highway. I can not imagine what will be happen if it stalls again it the middle of the high where every one drives so close and high speed. I drive about 150 miles every workday for my job and mostly in the high way. I also travel at night. I am worried about my life and life of my family member. And I belief that it is a safety issue . I tried to talk to the companey and also wrote them a letter but it seems thery are not giving it any serious consideration for obvious economic reason. I hope you could help me. The dealer could not find anything to repair which makes it more difficult because whatever is the reason may be it is still there.

8 Car Stall problem

Failure Date: 07/19/2001

The car stalls when coming to a stop. Stalls when taking off from a stop. We use to get almost 320 miles to the gallon, we are now down to 100 to 180. The car bucks like it is not getting any fuel. The v-tec does not want to kick in all the time anymore. Loss of power. It has been to the dealer on several occasions, when they cannot duplicate the problem. We have had all these problems since the a/c unit went out last July and the car has not been right since. We spent $100 on spark plugs that we were told would fix the fuel problem, that has not changed. We are not notified of any recalls we have to find them ourselves.
