CR-V

  • Automatic transmission
  • 47,500 miles
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?
