Element 2.4L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 100,000 miles

Had this car for a little over a month (bought it used) and then while we're on vacation, the a/c compressor went out and the way to replace it is to take all the accessories off the motor to get to it. Take the grill/bumper off to get to the evaporator coil to replace the filter drier. And take the whole dash apart to get to the expansion valve.

2 years in a row the air compressor goes out in my car. Thankfully the first time I had an extended warranty, second time they only covered a 1/4 of the cost. I am so done with Honda
