Replying to: shima1 (Dec 15, 2008 5:29 pm) Otherwise there's no option but to sell the car.   Isn't that an overreaction? You have a 7 year old vehicle that has performed just fine yet you want to get rid of it because its AC compressor may go bad. There's a saying about borrowing trouble. If it happens then figure out what to do.   I understand that there is a flaw somewhere causing this issue but Honda seems to be taking care of the problem...you can't say the same about other automakers when they have similar issues.   And I still wonder when people feel it is ok for a part to go bad...7 years...10 years...never??

Had same problem with compressor as newer model. No help from Honda. I think if you get the dealership to contact Honda you are better off with their help. I got no help from Honda West in Indianapolis.

Replying to: stevedebi (Dec 17, 2008 9:36 am) Look and see how many used ones you see in those years and then look for a used 07 or 08. You wont find many 07 or 08 models.

Replying to: tidester (Feb 04, 2009 7:43 pm) Just how far back did they go with those bad tires some years back. Did they look at age or mileage ? No, they were defective and they just replaced them all right ?

Quietest this topic has been in a while. No one saying they lost their AC. Apparently no one is using their AC during winter...even though you should to keep it functioning properly.   Will there be a rash of compressor failures in the spring?

Replying to: drive62 (Feb 10, 2009 5:49 pm) Doesn't the compressor kick in when you turn on the defroster? Most cars "condition" the air when you turn on the defroster to dry out the air in the cabin. Replies to this message: madams1 (Feb 13, 2009 11:02 am)
#1047 of 1372 2004 Honda CRV EX-L - Worth it with AC issues? by kaya25 Feb 12, 2009 (7:12 am)
Hi - I am new to the forum. I am researching a car for my wife. She needs 4WD and some cargo space and the CRV was high on our radar until I came across this forum. There are a couple 2004 CRVs in the area, but if this AC problem is not an if but when issue, it seems we should be looking elsewhere.   The one I am most interested in is a 2004 EX-L with about 50K miles. Any input appreciated. Thanks. Replies to this message: madams1 (Feb 13, 2009 11:01 am) blueiedgod (Feb 17, 2009 9:54 am)

Replying to: kaya25 (Feb 12, 2009 7:12 am) I have a 2003 with 87K and the only problem so far is the throttle body sensor went bad. The problem is on the 2003 the whole throttle body has to be replaced. Mine was under extended warranty, but I was told it would have been a costly repair. I mentioned the compressor issue to my mechanic at a shop that specializes in Honda and Acura and he said that in the summer, he sees about 2 or 3 CRV's that need a new compressor. So far he has not seen one that exploded and ruined the whole system.   I love driving the CRV and sure your wife will also. Be sure to get good tires if they need replacing.

Replying to: steve_ (Feb 10, 2009 9:18 pm) I was thinking that it did also. Perhaps a mechanic or someone with more knowledge could tell us.
