Air Conditioner problems of the 2003 Honda CR-V

"takata recall" the air conditioner goes out when the car hits any pot holes are bumps in the road. Also the suspension systems didn't work very well.

2003 Honda Cr-v. Consumer writes in regards to air conditioning failure. The consumer stated the vehicle was not included in the recall even though it experienced the same failure addressed I the recall.

On my 2003 Honda at around 66,000 miles the air conditioning quit working. Although I hardly use a/c since I only have a short drive to work. I took the vehicle into a Honda dealer. It was reported that the a/c blew up and was contaminated throughout the system. I had to replace everything including lines. Although they claim this happens, im concerned since the a/c was rarely used. Clearly a defect in the a/c. Ive owned other vehicles with only having to do regular maintenace on the a/c with no problems. This repair costed 2,611. 70. I had an extended warrenty which did not help much either. I have been told or read other problems with the a/c in Hondas.

In 2003 , we bought a new Honda crv. The vehicle has performed wonderfully. We took it in for its 110,000 mile service and we were told the air conditioner was inoperable. The pump was seized. We asked if this was common and the service manager said that it's " a higher incidence than Honda likes. " I went online and was appalled at the number of identical complaints. I heard a growling noise in October (the last time we used the ac) which was the ac pump seizing up. This is epidemic according to the online forums (I searched 'Honda ac problems' and was overwhelmed) and needs to be addressed. The dealership quoted $3000+- to fix it.

The air conditioner unit has broken over and over. I've paid thousands of dollars repairing it. I'm disabled and get very ill in the heat. There was a recall but I was not told of it until I had too many miles on my car because I used to use my car for work as a social worker. But it starting breaking long before the miles were too high. It's defective. And breaking again. There are other issues such as the automatic windows and door locks. The passenger front window does not work at all. And the driver door lock does lock with the auto locks. And the key hole is broken. So every time I drive I have to lock the front door from the back seat and then use the auto lock. The driver visor has been broken for years. It just hangs. So I have to drive with it to the side. And it hangs lower than normal. Which is dangerous because it obstructs my view and I can't use it to block out the sun. I took it in to the dealer and they were going to charge an outrageous amount just to look at it & determine the problem. Which is faulty design. Because these things have been broken for years. I haven't driven much in the last 8 years since I've been permanently disabled. And these issues started long before that. I don't remember the exact date I first got my ac fixed. But I believe it was in 2005. I can search my glove box for paperwork if needed.
