( I bought this car on a day with hot weather , the dealer had the air conditioner running on the test drive . The vibration problem does not occur while the air-conditioner is on ! ) . I was not told the car had the vibration problem at time of purchase . Honda knew about this problem before selling me the car ( $25,000 ) . It is an ongoing problem for this particular 2015 year and model , going on since 2014 , with no fix for the vibration problem .

There was a loud banging sound and the air conditioner, which was on and working great, stopped blowing cold air. I researched the problem and found that this has been very common on Honda Cr-vs. From my experience and the four different failure modes that have been identified, it sounds like the ac compressor exploded or imploded and could have left shards of metal on the highway I was driving on. Two other failure modes of this problem include the clutch axle shaft shearing and the clutch itself melting. Here are the ridiculously high number of complaints that I've found within 15 minutes of researching: 1. Https://www. Youtube. Com/watch?v=fldx1wvjqsc 2. Https://www. Youtube.

Air conditioning blowing cold and hot; many reports of this on websites regarding 2010 Honda crv. The blower is working fine but the air conditioning goes from cold to neutral over and over again with no other symptoms. Vehicle is on and in motion when this happens. There is no recall that I can find regarding the situation.

Air conditioner does not work. Blows hot air. Dealer has fixed on two separate occasions. Recurring issue. Last incident was 6/15/2015, due to be "fixed" again.

Air conditioner clutch failure . . . Repair cost ~$750. There was a class action lawsuit (now closed). Honda should issue a recall and make good for repair cost!.

I was driving and every time I stopped at a red-light with the air conditioner off, the car would vibrate so much the seat next to me would visibly shake. I also felt my seat and steering wheel shake a lot. Not just to the extent that a normal vehicle would, but a lot! I literally felt the vibrations throughout my body. This is a brand new 2015 Honda crv ex and is not at all normal. I have driven many Hondas and none of them have done this. Even my 13 year old Honda pilot does not do this.

I stopped at a gas station and got gas. I turned off the air conditioning before turning off the engine, as always. Got in and started the car, turned on the a/c, and it blew hot air. I kept trying it all the way home and nothing but hot air. The next day I noticed a ticking sound under the hood when it was idling. Mid summer, but no money to bring it in. One month later the ticking under the hood got progressively worse so I took it in for a free a/c check. Turns out the whole a/c system needs to be replaced (estimate $1000) compressor w/clutch, orifice tube, receiver/dryer, and re-charge. Thousands of online complaints and potential hazards. Ticking could be caused by all of this, or loose valves, exhaust manifold, etc. . . Contacting Honda, to see what they can do. . .

The air conditioning goes out intermittently when the outside temperature is above ~85âºf. This happened more and more frequently until the system stopped putting out cold air altogether. This is a known problem with Cr-vs, and Honda extended the warranty on the a/c compressor clutch to 100,000 miles. A mechanic diagnosed this as my problem, although it happened 4,000 miles over the extended limit for warranty service.

Gradually slowly and slowly air condition unit stop working.

The heater/defroster failed to operate as it had in the past on December 6, 2013. Previous to that date the air conditioner failed to cool properly starting in August, 2013. Hazy white material coated the inside of the windshield requiring constant wiping so we ceased using the air. Over a several week period in fall 2013 the left side heater/defroster failed to heat the left side of the car and the windshield defroster failed requiring us to stop the car and wipe the outside of the left side of the windshield. The right side of the cabin heater blew some hot air and some hot air reached the inside of the windshield. The dealer service manager at schaumburg Honda listened to my complaint and after severral minutes returned to tell me all operations were normal and I needed to use the recirculation to equalize cabin temperature. I immediately traded the car since the windshield was unable to defrost and cabin to heat. Search google under " heater on Cr-v doesn't work" to see multiple stories of same an videos of attempts like mine to work heater/defroster complaints.

Air condition condensor failed.

I have a 2004 Honda Cr-v. I had my ac on and it began to grind. At first I thought it was my motor, but soon realized it was my air conditioner unit. I took it to the Honda dealership, and they checked it out. Cost for the diagnostic - $106. 00 cost to fix $4000. 00 diagnosis:a/c compressor failed. All the a/c parts are internally contaminated with metal from the compressor. Needs a/c kit (c) and clutch and coil. I have been checking online and many 2003 and 2004 Honda crv's have had this problem, but no recall. I don't have that money to spend, yet need air conditioning. Is this fair for Honda to ignore this issue and cost their faithful customers so much money when this problem did exist in those year models? can you help?.

In may of 2013 my back passenger door on my 08 Cr-v would not stay locked in spite of all efforts. I didn't even notice it until one day when I locked my car then happened to see that the back passenger door was still unlocked. The car alarm "armed" itself as normal but I was still able to get in the back door without the alarm going off. I took it to my local repair shop where they replaced the actuator for $200 in the back passenger door. Now, not even one month later, my driver's side door is locking by itself when I'm trying to get into the car making it almost impossible to get in. I have to keep pressing the unlock button and hope that it will stay unlocked long enough for me to get in. My mechanic said that there is no way to test all of the actuators, that if one goes out that usually means the other three aren't far behind, and apparently he is right. I live in a state that has very hot summers, and it would be terrible if one of my pets accidentally got locked in my car in the summer heat. It seems to me like Honda is bigger than this and should be recalling all door actuators in this make and model. Its a small price to pay for a corporation like Honda, and if they don't recognize the error on their part, I'm going to take the $25-30k that I would normally use to buy a new Honda and use it to buy a GMC or Hyundai. I'm about to drop another $200 to get this actuator replaced making it $400, not counting the almost $1800 I've had to spend replacing the air conditioner (clutch, coil, compressor) over the past two years. Oh, and Honda said the a/c parts I had replaced on my car weren't covered by the letter they sent out regarding the a/c problems in Cr-vs last November, even though I sent in all the supporting paperwork. Good job Honda, I will never buy another car from you.

2010 Honda crv. Consumer writes in regards to a/c compressor clutch warranty extension and reimbursement claim. The consumer stated she noticed an increasing noise coming from the ac compressor. Even though the vehicle had been regularly serviced by Honda, potential ac problems were never checked or brought to her attention. Upon having the vehicle repaired, the consumer was informed the problem was a wear and tear item, not associated with the noted failures Honda's had been experiencing with the ac system for a period of nearly 10 years.

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.

I am the original owner of this Honda crv. Air conditioning hasn't worked for years. I understand this is a common problem and I would like it fixed has there been a recall?.

For the last 3 years we have had three (3) main issues with this vehicle, 1) air bag srs light has been on, 2) the front passenger window will not roll down and 3) the air conditioning system has not operated. From the begining I have checked on recalls/ campaigns for these items and the only recall we received for this vehicle VIN # was the air bag recall (btw we took it in for the recal and the srs light is still on). When you look on Honda's website to check for recalls no other issues come up with my VIN#, yet if you look the vehicle up by the model and year, a whole list of "campaigns" come up under this vehicle. My vehcile has had the same problems as the said make and models for years. I filed a complaint with Honda America (case # 04205532) this morning and spoke with "serinity" of the product concern section of Honda America and basiclly she is telling me because my particilar vehcile was manufactured in japan (VIN # starting with a "j") that no recalls apply to me. But yet I am having the same issues with my vehicle of the same model and year. Honda basically has stated that they cannot offer any help on this matter. Please note, there are other safety "campaigns" that I never got notices, such as wiring harnessess. I took my vehicle into a non-dealer mechanic for air-conditioning services and they stated to me 2 + years ago that this vehicle is known to have a major defect in the ac clutch on the ac pump was designed too close to the engine and thus heats up and shatters into many pieces and flows though the whole ac system thus requiring that the whole ac system is required to be replaced (Honda service bulletin # 12-072). Honda has issued a campaign increasing the ac system warranty to 10 years/ 100,000 miles, but again this does not apply to my vehicle, yet I have the same exact issues on my vehicle. Please help on this matter.

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.

My 2004 Honda Cr-v's air conditioning stopped working on the afternoon of 9/24/10. The air blowing out seemed to be warm. I made an appointment at a local service station to inspect the a/c for the following morning, 9/25/10. The mechanic removed the lower panel a/c compressor and showed me a hole that was caused by the a/c compressor "exploding" outward. There were a few metal shard pieces left in the plastic panel that covers that area of the vehicle. The mechanic said that he had heard of this happening but had never seen it. According to the mechanic, his parts supplier said that they hear of this often. Both believe there is a manufacturing issue with the compressors. Due to the way that the a/c system in the Honda is set up, the entire thing needed to be replaced. Fortunately my mechanic was generous with his costs and labor charges. It cost $1313. 52 to fix. I checked online for a recall and called Honda America. There is no current recall but I found an online discussion thread with better than 900 comments of folks who all had similar issues with their Honda Cr-v a/c compressors. . Read more...

The air conditioner clutch froze and nearly stopped engine. Now we have no air conditioning or window defrosting.

The vehicle was on the road going 60 mph when all of a sudden heard like a explosion sound and it made us scared and made us nervous to drive it we have put 3 compressors total. 2 compressor alone and another compressor with the whole things like fans, radiator,for air conditioner hose,etc, everything. Very costly and regardless it has the same problem not working. I don't know if its a safety issue but it should be because I think if it makes that explosion sound that stuff comes out to the air. Honda errors are costing the consumers a lot of money it should be a recall and fix and refunded if possible. I brought this car in 2006 and will not purchase another one. Please if anything can be done so that Honda find a solution to this black death issue that's what the complainers and mechanics are calling it. I would be so grateful with this economy its such a hardship. And living in florida the heat is unbearable. Thank you for your time and effort.

Air condition compressor seized at 125k--this is the second one--new part is on order.

I was driving slowly in the summer when I smelled a burning smell of smoke in my vehicle. Within 5 minutes my air conditioner began to blow hot air. I took my vehicle to a reputable mechanic for inspection. They showed me with the vehicle in the air that there was a hole in the condensing unit of my vehicle. When I asked what could have caused it,they stated that the hole was blown in the unit from the inside out. I took my vehicle to a Honda dealership for inspection after that. The mechanics there said that I must have run into a piece of metal. Then, off the record, they stated that many other owners had their ac's go out in the same way and that Honda would probably be recalling them. I researched it a little at the time and got no-where with Honda. Honda stated since my vehicle was out of warranty, they would do nothing. At the time I gave up. . . However, with additional replacements that I have had to make that are un-characteristic and untimely for a Honda, and with additional inspections by both Honda and non-mechanics. . . I was told that my entire engine assembly was put in sideways by design and that design causes multiple issues with multiple components. I actually had one reputable garage refuse to continue to work on my car because it was so poorly designed and difficult to work on. Sadly, I will never buy a Honda again. And I have had 5 Honda's prior to this one, bought this one new, and would have been happy enough had Honda owned up to the problems.

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.
