Replying to: blueiedgod (Jul 02, 2009 8:48 am) Tires and fluids are known wear items. Unexpected and expensive repairs sour people on brands.   Toyota sludge. Caravan transmissions. Odyssey transmissions. CTS rear diffys and half shafts. Jeep death wobble. VW electronics and power windows. Subaru head gaskets.   I guess we can now add:   CR-V AC compressors?

Replying to: steve_ (Jul 02, 2009 9:49 am) People pay a premium both in price off the lot and for service on a Honda, so they expect a better experience when they buy a Honda. Looking at all these CRV AC issues and V6 tranny and engine pinging issues on other Honda vehicles at what appears to be relatively low age and mileage in many cases, I can't help but wonder if Honda hasn't decided to cheapen up their engineering and quality. If this is the case, why pay extra for Honda vehicles any more? Seems to me Toyota can often be bought for less out the door, and you pay even less for Ford and Hyundai who seem to be catching up in reliability. Maybe Honda needs to offshore more of their work back to Japan?

2002 Cr-v A/C compressor doesn't clutch. What to do, what to do? Replies to this message: blueiedgod (Jul 06, 2009 8:56 am) jpettibone (Jul 06, 2009 1:49 pm) galvdude (Jul 06, 2009 8:02 pm)

Replying to: dudehelpme (Jul 05, 2009 3:01 pm) 2002 Cr-v A/C compressor doesn't clutch. What to do, what to do?   Check refrigerant pressure, and pressure switch. Clutch won't engage when low on refrigerant (and oil in it) to preserve the compressor. Replies to this message: jpettibone (Jul 06, 2009 1:49 pm) galvdude (Jul 06, 2009 8:02 pm)

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

Replying to: blueiedgod (Jul 06, 2009 8:56 am) "Preserve the Compressor"...that's rich! Sorry, dude, your compressor is most likely toast like the rest of us. Replies to this message: galvdude (Jul 06, 2009 8:02 pm)

Replying to: jpettibone (Jul 06, 2009 1:49 pm) Or the clutch could have failed like mine did. My compressor only died because the replaced clutch failed (I assume didn't release at higher rpm's like it was supposed to). I suppose it wouldn't hurt to have the refrigerant pressure checked first if low pressure will cause the clutch to not engage as previously suggested. Recharging would be cheaper than the labor for a new clutch, for sure. Good luck.
#1208 of 1366 AUUUUGH! by singlemom1 Jul 07, 2009 (7:08 am)
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. Replies to this message: madams1 (Jul 08, 2009 4:56 am)

Replying to: singlemom1 (Jul 07, 2009 7:08 am) Based on recent posts, I doubt that you will get much assistance from Honda America. Is it possible for them to put it back together and get an estimate at another shop? If you have a shop that specializes in Hondas, that would be best. I understand regional price differences, but have a hard time understanding the wide range of repair estimates.   Wish you the best on your repair.
