After Honda agreed to pay for all of the parts and only charge us labor.. estimate $2000.00, estimated payment for us $700.00. We decided to get the car fixed. We went to pick it up today and had a bill for $1400.00 and change. After much yelling and being horribly upset they knocked it down to $1220.00 and told us this is what we agreed to and would do nothing else. We've filed with the pending class action lawsuit against Honda for this AC problem as I hope all of you that have had to pay look into as well. This is shady business at its worst and it's a massive scam. A quick google can find you the site needed, they are legit and verified by multiple Honda owners on multiple other forums. Good luck again.

Yeah, piggybacking on what your brother-in-law said, you could tell the good folks at Honda that $3500 would make a nice down payment on a Toyota. And make sure there are plenty of other customers around to hear you say it. (he he he haw haw) That should make them stumble, pause, reflect and go the extra mile to help you get some recompense.
 
I know this isn't their fault, though. This is a corporate problem and they are unfortunate enough to have to be the front people taking all the heat for it. Trust me--been there, so I can both sympathize and empathize with them.
 
One of the largest shames in the whole thing is that if this were an issue with a vehicle manufactured by one of the old 'big three' (GM, Ford, Chrysler) the media would be all over them like moss on a Mississippi tree stump.
 
Whoops! I'm baby bottom new to this site, but I just saw blog #1889 already had the 'I will buy a Toyota idea'

gman: No, I didn't go to the Honda dealership for this repair. We have been going to another shop that is larger than what I'd call a "mom & pop" shop, but it's not the Honda dealership either. I haven't had trouble with them before, but mechanics turn over. So, I will get my oil changed and get the new fan noise investigated ASAP.
 
When I had the thunking noise after the a/c compressor was changed, the odd thing is that the temp gauge did not show that the engine was running hot. That's the one thing that doesn't compute. I'll post an update this week.
Thanks!

Just got word today that I need to replace my ac compressor with a total cost of $3500 - not happy given the fact that I just bought this less than 2 years ago and I have 154k mileage.
Any suggestions were I can have this replaced a cheaper price?

How about starting a facebook page about this? Hopefully it can stir up some attention....I am with you to be a nuisance to Honda USA

There is a class action starting. Join it then bring lots of these printouts to Honda and harass them to cut your bill down. They're a ripoff company.m

I live in Ohio and am not sure where you live but I paid $1000 to get my AC fixed. Do you live close to Ohio?

Some people seem to be upset because a component on their CRV fails after 188,000 miles or 154,000 miles?
 
Seriously, do you expect a car to last forever?
 
Just curious...that's all.

I don't believe people expect their cars to last forever! However, I do believe that if a car is well maintained, it should last longer than 188,00 or 154,000 miles. I agree with your comment regarding components failing on their CRV after 188,000 or 154,000 miles, but not big money components (a/c compressors, catalytic converters, etc.)! We have had 9 hondas in our family because they have been very reliable autos and we have been very diligent regarding maintenance on each one. We have a 1988 honda Accord with over 500,000 miles and yes we have had to replace items (batteries, tires, water pumps, alternator, door motors) but still have original motor and still have original a/c that works!! We take care of our cars and expect them to do the same, that's why we have been happy with Hondas and definitely know what to expect, but our newest one the 2003 has been a big disappointment so we may have to reconsider, and Honda Corporation is definitely not helping!
 
Thanks for asking

We expect a company putting defective products on the market to admit it and fix it. It is that simple.
