#1184 of 1373 Re: Another 2003 Honda CR-V A/C meltdown [nlv1] by blueiedgod Jul 01, 2009 (8:55 am)
Replying to: nlv1 (Jun 30, 2009 12:05 pm) So, what's your point? The complaints here are about a car part prematurely breaking down. If your heater broke down in the winter and your car only has below-average miles, won't you raise the issue with Honda?   If it is out of warranty, I would call Honda corporate and see what they can do. If nothing, I would suck it up and replace it my self.   It is all about being a man, and men when faced with challenges don't run crying to their mommy (lawyer in this case), but do what men do.   Fix it and get on with their lives.

#1185 of 1373 Has Honda Fixed CR-V AC Compressor Problem on New CR-V? by misar Jul 01, 2009 (9:03 am)
I am thinking seriously about buying a 2010 CR-V when it hits the dealer, but since I like to keep a car a long time I am conerned about the AC compressor problem. Has Honda stopped using the faulty compressor on 2009 and /or 2010 CR-Vs? If not I think I will be looking at other makes. Replies to this message: jpettibone (Jul 01, 2009 2:36 pm)

Replying to: blueiedgod (Jul 01, 2009 8:55 am) I don't think the OP mentioned anything about a lawyer in this case. The forum was started for a reason so people are using it to vent.   Fix it and get on with their lives.   I believe that's what the owners are doing whether they've been helped partially, 100%, or not at all. You're not the only man (or woman) here...

Replying to: blueiedgod (Jul 01, 2009 8:47 am) But, we don't judge in this country, everyone is entitled to do whatever makes them happy.   You hit the nail on the head! I think you always need to keep your statement in mind, because your bias shows your narrow-mindedness.

Replying to: blueiedgod (Jul 01, 2009 8:38 am) Again your i***cy shows through again. If you just made a search on "nlv1", it will show you that we've exchanged banters before, and on one message (CR-V vs. Escape forum) I did say we live in Houston. It was in 2005, and you were chastising everyone who bought a CR-V with 2WD. And raising a 5-yr old in Katy (a Houston suburb), is just fine.   So again, before you put your foot in your mouth, think before you speak, or write. Will look forward to running into you later...

Replying to: tidester (Jul 01, 2009 9:33 am) Guys and Gals,     All this talk about the elevation of Florida, while very entertaining, is taking away from the record of Honda's poorly designed and engineered AC system. This is the first place most people on the 'net come when they search this topic, so let's try to keep it informative and on topic. Off topic posts will just limit the impact of the myriad of stories catalogued here.   BTW, BlueEyedWhatever's suggestion to move out of Florida if AC is a requirement rather than admit that the AC should simply work was farcical, and worthy of a good laugh.

#1191 of 1373 Follow-up on Post #1139 - '02 CRV AC Failure by amwjr Jul 01, 2009 (2:34 pm)
Replying to: nlv1 (Jul 01, 2009 10:01 am) Took CR-V to local dealer last Saturday, had it checked, and was told mine was the 'catastrophic' failure that contaminates the entire system with debris. Service Writer volunteered to call American Honda for me, as he had seen this failure before. He did warn me, however, that AH had begun to tighten the purse strings with respect to customer assistance because of the economic downturn. Received follow-up call Monday afternoon. AH denied my request. Said I'd get no support, but they would only charge me "warranty cost" of $2600. I called AH later that day, and all I could get was a "we honor our field rep's decisions." Anyone know of another level of appeal? Have you been successful, or did you get the same response? I also called 3 other Service Managers yesterday (1 in NC; 2 in Ga) and all said Honda had a problem with A/C's. All also essentially said it was discouraging and embarassing to be on the receiving end of AH's recent rejections. They, too, thought Honda was better than this. Any ideas, short of driving the '95 Olds '88 my father-in-law left me, whose A/C works just fine??? Replies to this message: jpettibone (Jul 01, 2009 2:39 pm)
#1192 of 1373 Re: Has Honda Fixed CR-V AC Compressor Problem on New CR-V? [misar] by jpettibone Jul 01, 2009 (2:36 pm)
Replying to: misar (Jul 01, 2009 9:03 am) I believe it has been fixed, but it's a bit too early to know for sure. Consumer reports shows that AC reliability increases sharply after the '05 year, and that coincides with the redesign of the CR/V.   If you can live with the engine, I still think the current CR/V is a great car, assuming it won't have AC issues. IMHOP, coming from the 2nd gen CR/V, I felt like they engineered some of the utility out of it, moving the balance more towards minivan and away from ute. Still, the interior quality is much improved, and it looks nice.

Replying to: amwjr (Jul 01, 2009 2:34 pm) I had the same issue as you two months ago, but I went through a month long appeal at the national level, with no results. The interaction has turned me off of Honda products for a while, if not for ever. My dealer quoted $3400 for the repair, and offered me a good customer discount to $3000 (all plus tax). I'm guessing they were still trying to make a profit off of me and $2600 is closer to the actual price. That's one more thing that makes me angry.   My first car cost less than what Honda wanted to repair the AC!
