CR-V

  • 108,000 miles
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.

A/C compressor "implode" on my Honda CR-V (2003) ex model. Will cost outrageous amount to fix and have read at least 800 complaints about similar issues at edmunds and other on-line car talk blogs and chat rooms. Honda should fix this problem for its loyal customers.
