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

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.

If you own a Honda CRV 2002-2007 and your air conditioning compressor has 30 K or more miles on it, you should replace it now before it fails and costs you two or three thousand dollars. You can buy a discount compressor for a couple hundred dollars, and get an independent air conditioning co. to replace it for about the same, two or three hundred. This should last for another 30k miles or so. Ridiculous that you have to do this, but if you don't you're looking at replacing the whole system. Screw Honda. When I finally unload the this piece of junk, I will go back to Toyotas.
