I think Honda's past willingness set them selves up for people to get angry when they are denied coverage now. For some reaosn people expect perferction out of everyone but them selves. So what if Joe got it covered. You are not Joe, you are Jim! Like my dad used to say, if everyone jumped off the bridge would you too? Most children learn early in their lives that life is not fair, but I guess, a lot of people either forgot, or just don't want to face the reality. Yes, it may not be fair that Joe got it covered 100% and Jim got 75%, while Kathy got no coverage. A lot of different factors go into determining who gets what level of coverage. But, we all know from the previous paragraph, by now, that life is not fair! As to people not being able to afford the repair, come on! You are driving around in a $15,000-$20,000 vehicle, not a $600 rust bucket!!! The tires for the CR-V run about $600, regular maintenance (oil, filter, differential, transmission, power steering, and brake fluid replacement) is probably another $500/year. If you financed, you are probably paying $350/month, which is $4200/year.... Obviously, you have the money to purchase a vehicle and to maintain it. And if it is so vital to have a functional A/C, then dig into the savings to pay for it. It is generally recommended to haive 6-12 months of income in liquid savings. CR-V is priced along the lines of people making $50,000-$60,000/year, so every one of the CR-V owners should have $30,000 or more in their savings accounts. Unless you are one of those that live beyond their means. Then, maybe, you should petition your congressman to bail you out of your A/C bill along with the mortgage payment. Good luck to all.

2002 Cr-v A/C compressor doesn't clutch. What to do, what to do?

Replying to: dudehelpme (Jul 05, 2009 3:01 pm) Check refrigerant pressure, and pressure switch. Clutch won't engage when low on refrigerant (and oil in it) to preserve the compressor.

Interesting read. Now I will get the 6 year extended warranty for $620.00 $0 deductable, that covers the Compressor and Clutch. Good luck everyone |

I found out yesterday that the compressor on my 2004 CRV seized and threw metal parts through the system, to the tune of about $3,000.00. My CRV has about 94,000 miles. I tried my very best to look through the bazillion (but excellent) posts here before I called Honda. After asking me questions, I was told that since my warranty had expired it was my problem. My VIN also starts with a "J". They also said they would refer me to a service advisor who would call me back in a few days. Of course, I asked them why had so many cars (especially with the J VIN indicator) received help and now I was getting nothing? And why would it take two days for a rep to get back to me when, as I'm sure they've done this 1,000 times, they could do it in their sleep? My car is in pieces at the shop and they want to take two days to give me a run around? Is this Honda's new position: deny? Is anyone having any success? How? Why didn't they recall this? I know, recalls are typically a safety issue kind of thing, but *knowing* that such a devestatingly defective product was installed and allowing it to stay there....and then denying a repair.....oughta be worth something to somebody. I could use some help, guys. Sometimes the 'net is a little too helpful and I'm going nuts trying to pick through and find specific information on what to do.
