Well, I'm very happy with my dealer here in Albuquerque. Originally the manager had called American Honda for me and got them to agree to paying for 75% of my repair (I have a 2004 CRV with 73000 mi). I called American Honda myself trying to get a better deal, but they wouldn't budge. I pleaded with my dealer to see if they themselves would cover some of the labor cost (since I've been a good and long-term customer with them). They said they would see what they could do. In the meantime, I surrendered to the probability of having to go into debt on a credit card for $750. I HAD to get the A/C fixed, living here in the hot desert... I got a call that my car was ready (ahead of schedule) and also more good news - my bill was only $325. They had gotten Honda to pay for 90% of the repair!!! I have found that getting Honda repairs through the dealer really pays off, and it does really make a difference in Hondas when you use Honda parts.

Well I went to the dealer as Honda America requested that I confirm that my 03 CRV needed a new air conditioning compressor at the Honda dealer. They said this was the only way they could partially subsidize the repair. So it cost me $132.00 to get the confirmation that the AC compressor was bad then Honda said "Sorry but we won't pay anything". I certainly could have use the $132.00 elsewhere. I would rather spend it buying some ice than give it to Honda for getting nothing in return. Daniel |

AC stopped working on hot Sunday. Went to dealer and got the news that the entire AC system should be changed - about $2500. Fixed at local shop with $1500. The guy in the shop said that there is a something WRONG in the compressor and gave the defected compressor. Took the picture and posted into http://picasaweb.google.com/hatehonda/Desktop#5357308868950726546 Before fix it, contacted Honda America and got the very short answer - warranty is expired. The dealer said that contacting Honda America is not their business. I don't know the material and mechanics, but it should not be happened. Is it safety related issue?

| I still can't afford the huge bill to replace my A/C system. My first compressor looked just like the picture and there was no noise or anything at all. It just stopped working. My defroster does not seem to work properly since the failure. My second compressor only worked for 2 months,probably because I only replaced the compressor and not the entire A/C system. The second compressor exploded and had an even bigger hole. That one did make a funny noise but not a bang as you would expect. I wish there were a way to fix the A/C system and use a compressor that doesn't have the problem that Honda's has. I hate to spend thousands of dollars and then have it fail the same way again. If anyone knows of a brand of compressor that would work as a replacement that doesn't have the imploding problem, I would like to know about it. | |
