#1338 of 1372 Re: Another dead Honda compressor [hondaacstinks] by moneypit6 Sep 15, 2009 (1:54 pm)
Replying to: hondaacstinks (Sep 14, 2009 5:25 pm) Thanks for the Honda lawsuit link. Hopefully we can get our money back. You sound like me. All oil changes made on time and meticulous maintenance records. In fact, the Honda dealer is the only person who has touched my auto until this problem came up. My compressor and condenser only cost me $1,472.90. I guess I heard mine go out before you did. Going to keep driving it until I get out of Bible School because of the amount of miles I drive. Don't want to put all those miles on anything new at this time. Thanks again for the info and I pray for the restoration of our finances in this situation.

Replying to: hondaacstinks (Sep 14, 2009 5:25 pm) I first experienced what Honda referred to as the "Black Death" (metal shards contaminating the whole A/C system) at 99,000 miles in my 2003 Honda CR-V bank in 2007. I had bought the extended warranty so it was covered, otherwise they quoted me $3800 plus labor. So here I am 2 years later and my compressor has locked up once again. I'm extremely disillusioned with Honda. Thank you for the link to the lawsuit. Replies to this message: alix22 (Sep 27, 2009 5:43 am)
#1340 of 1372 Honda CRV AC Compressor blowup victim #????? by mailelei Sep 17, 2009 (7:31 am)
My 2002 Honda CRV's AC compressor blew up and it cost me $1760 to repair. Metals damaged the whole ac system. I got 2 other quotes for the same about $1,700. One mechanic refused to give me a quote after a bad experience. He repaired a crv with this problem and the problem occured again. Needless to say, I am broke and very very disappointed. I thought Honda's were good reliable cars. Honda customer service was no help of course. Time to join the class action suit. This is completely unfair and bad business practice that there was no recall.

Replying to: jo27 (Sep 09, 2009 5:29 pm) Class Action may be the only recourse. My CRV is a 2002 but on two occasions once at around 40k miles and now again at 77k miles I have had significant repair costs for the A/C including a full replacement of Compressor, Clutch, Coil, Condenser Fan. The first time, Honda did reimburse me. This time, the total repair cost $1,939. That is almost 10% of the purchased price of the car (20% had I paid for both repairs) . That is a significant cost of ownership for a car that sold for $22k only 7 years ago and with relatively low mileage, this is a horrendous reliability factor. American Honda could not have been less understanding and told me that there was nothing that could be done - this would not be considered for compensation. Judging by the number of comments on this site, this is not a isolated issue Honda is not stepping up and providing a reliable or quality product nor are they willing to provide quality support of a multiple failure issue. If there is anyone preparing a class action on this please respond – I’m in. Tell your fiends to read this site, it could save them money and frustration.

#1343 of 1372 2001 CR-V AC went today by mypoorhonda Sep 18, 2009 (5:49 pm)
my CR-V, with 186,000 miles had the AC go out today. There was a little bit of smoke from under the hood before I turned the AC off. I dropped the car at my Firestone shop today, they will check it tomorrow. The mechanic took a quick look under the hood and said the compressor was trying to engage. I will let you know what I find out. After reading the posts, I fear the worst! Thanks Honda!
#1345 of 1372 Update on lawsuit by zgreat1 Sep 21, 2009 (8:37 am)
Does anyone have more information on this pending lawsuit? That is, the number of owners who have filed, the cost of filing, the type of settlement and the proposed settlement date, etc. My 2003 CR-V a/c hissed (and blew hot air right after that) on (of all day) ....9/11/09...with less than 70,000 miles on the odometer!!!

The law firm will get $20,000,000 in fixed compensation, plus $10,000,000 in expenses, and the people who signed up for the law suit will get a coupon for a free happy meal at McDonalds.   I would not be surprized if half of the people pumping up the class action suit on here and other websites actually work for the said law firm.   Honda stopped providing free goodwill warranty because it opened them up to liability to hungry law firms. So, you can thank whoever started the class action for the drying fo the Goodwill coverage.
