2002 Honda crv ex 4wd: at 45000 miles the oxygen sensor went out; one week later the entire a/c compressor body had 1 inch long crack and leaked. Unbelievable.
I had the a/c compressor replaced at 31000 miles at the local dealer under warranty . Then the compressor went out again around 4/30/05 at 68320 miles and talked to several mechs. At dealers and they told me that Honda told them to replace everything hoses lines & etc. After they fixed mine the first time at 31000 miles now it is 37000 + later and having to get another compressor replaced I guess every 30000 miles they will need to be replaced thought Honda was a better vehicle than that. Cant get help from dealership yet. Sad thing is it's almost paid for guess I will fix it and then trade this car being Honda isn't what they use to be very unhappy hope they get there problems fixed soon to many 02's a/c problems thanks m.
