The air conditioner stopped working. I took it to a repair shop and they found a hole in the bottom of the compressor. They will have to replace the compressor, flush the system, repalce the dryer and then charge the system. The vehicle only had 62500 miles on it and the compressor should last alot longer than that. It will cost $756. 24 to repair the system and that is if these are the only parts that need to be replaced. I am asking for the reimbursment to reapair the air conditioner.
On wed. Sept. 7, 2011, I was driving to work when the gas pedal on my 2003 Honda crv got stuck. I tried to brake at the stoplight, but the car would not brake. I had to go into survival mode, tried shifting the gears, and somehow got the vehicle turned off. It scared me half to death. I was also stuck in the middle of traffic and could not pull over to the side of the road, so I had the fear that someone might hit my vehicle from behind. I immediately called aaa and had them send a police officer for safety reasons. My car was towed to my mechanic who discovered that the throttle body assembly was broken, and needed to be replaced. Besides being a safety issue, this repair cost me aprox. $1,196. 53. I have to say that even though it¿s been replaced, I am very leery of driving the vehicle. The mechanic and the Honda dealership, where I purchased my car originally, say that this type of malfunction should not occur. About two years or so ago, the differential went out on this car as well. It had to be repaired and Honda paid for half of that repair, after I contacted the customer service dept. This was also a part that shouldn¿t have had to be repaired. I contacted Honda corporation and I was told that, "Honda would not assist me with this problem. ".
The air conditioner (ac) stopped working. I then took the car to my mechanic who told me that the compressor locked up and destroyed many components in the system. He quoted me about $2,000 to fix the issue. I then took the car to Honda dealer and they told the repair cost would be $3500. I live in the dallas, texas area and we have been experiencing triple digit temperature. This is a car my wife uses. We have two little kids. Not having a working ac is a life threatening situation. I contacted Honda USA for help and they told me since the car was not under warranty there wasn't anything they can do for me. I explained to them that there was a serious design flaw with the system. They would not agree even though there are countless postings on the web about this particular issue. Honda should be forced to issue a recall for this defective system. In hot climates, not having an ac is a serious safety issue. Now, I am stuck! where am I going to get $3500 to fix this issue. This problem has made the car completely useless. I am between a rock and a hard place. Honda should not get away with this because this company is endangering the lives of so many people.
Driving at 5 mph after leaving home I heard a grinding noise. It sounded like it came from the cabin fan (the air conditioner was on). I turned off fan and noise stopped. At traffic light tried fan without the air conditioner and engine stalled. Engine did not restart until I turned off fan. Problem was identified as failure of air conditioner compressor and a frozen air conditioner clutch. Other than the noise there was no warning of failure. Car was serviced 2 months and 800 miles before incident. Idling at a stop light at the time of failure resulted in stalled engine. If car was moving there would have been a loss of control as power steering and brakes would have been affected. If failure happened at higher speed I think I would have experienced catastrophic failure of the engine or compressor clutch (and shrapnel in the engine compartment or on the road and likely loss of control). Here was no early indication or warning of component failure. Although damage was isolated to compressor, if I had reacted slower or had the speed been higher there would have been high likelihood of additional damage or injury.
A/c compressor imploded and damaged the entire system as a replacement cost of $3400. 00.
Air conditioner went out at 36,000 miles no warning. Cost $1500. My extended warranty covered part but not all. Shredded metal all through out the air conditioner. Had to wait 7 hours for a repair as dealer 50 miles away Honda crv 2003.
Without any prior problem or indication of a problem, something dropped off the bottom of my car into the road. At that exact moment, the air conditioner stopped blowing cold air. I took the car to have it repaired only to find out that the a/c compressor had blown (and the clutch had fallen off). I have since found out that this is a very frequent occurrence with second generation Honda Cr-v's. I am in the process of working with american Honda motors as well as my dealership to have it repaired. Honda knows of this problem, and the part was redesigned for the 2004 model. This part needs a recall! how many people have to complain before there is a formal recall?.
