Hi Jack
 
I'm having the same problem with the compressor on my 2002 crv with 80k miles on it. Can you tell my exactly what you did? I'd like to get back some of the $1200 i had to pay to get it fixed. What department did you ask for?(any extension or contact would be great). The number i show is 800.999.1009, is that the one you used?
 
thx

Hello! First of all, thanks to all the postings! On Friday, on my way back from work, I heard a loud noise in my car. I didn't think anything of it and thought it was other people's car. The closer I got to the house, the noise exploded. I thought the car was going to fall apart. My husband decided to check the AC and sure enough it was the compressor. I took it in to the dealership the next day and spoke to the service director. I told him that I was very disappointed with how Honda was handling this situation. Why a recalled wasn’t issued??!!! Long story short, they replaced my AC compressor at NO CHARGE and we got a RENTAL car paid by Honda. I must say that we got lucky with our dealership in Texas. The service director was diligent in that he recognized that the 02/03 CR-Vs are having the compressor problem. He told me that during those years, 3 types of AC compressors were used in various CR-Vs so it is hard to pin point which one is the defect. He stated that Honda recognized that it was and is becoming a problem and is doing the best to fix it! As a result, the dealership fixed our car under the goodwill warranty! I must say that when I walked into the dealership today, I was ready to argue and presented him with the information found on this site but didn't need to! Thanks again!

Recalls are for safety related items. Broken A/c hardly qualifies for a safety item.

AC Problems Have Me Thinking... by fussycrvowner

I have an '02 CRV EX with 33,000 miles. I am hearing a high pitched whirring noise whenever the AC compressor engages. Is the noise normal due to increased load on the pulleys? Could it be the R134a moving around in the system? I am keeping an eye on it to make sure the compressor isn't starting to go. Would it be advisable to take to the dealer for an AC performance check? Also seeing the belt tensioner moving a bit but not too much. Any ideas before I start running around stating "the sky is falling?" isellhondas may have a point: I used to do parts inspection for an electronics assembly shop and occasionally a part slips through which doesn't meet standards. The policy was to take a sampling of what was received by the various vendors which was a percentge of the gross quantity.

Sorry I don't have advice on what to do but I hope you do keep in mind that there were over 200,000 '02 and '03 CR-Vs sold in the US. A few dozen reported problems with an AC compressor doesn't mean every one will have problems (but you knew that based on your post).

Drive 62 make it 199,999 plus honda's because I just reported a problem.
 
FussyCRV owner, if its the compressor its a one time noise sounds like: metal rattleing from underbody and than no A/C.

Thanks for all of your inputs. Now to keep my head from rattling anticipating problems down the road I will admit that my CR-V has been the most reliable of any cars that I've owned.

Compressor problems vs Country of Origin? by stevedebi
Jul 10, 2006 (12:29 pm)

Those of you who have had A/C Compressor failures, could you respond with the country in which your CR-V was built? VINs with a "J" as the first letter are from Japan; others are from England. I'm just wondering if the compressors are different in the two countries, and the failures are all coming from one of the two plants but not from the other.
