my 2004 honda crv blew up july 4, 2006- vin starts wth a j. called corporate office, said to get an estimate. went to dealer in CA and got a quote for 2,700.00 1,300 for labor and 1400.00 for parts. no help advice given but they said they can give us a discount for the parts half off. that's still 2,000.00. this is unacceptable for honda. bought it dec 2003 and of course it's out of warranty with 44,000 miles. (36,000 miles or 3 years whichever comes first, oh well). i consider myself a loyal honda customer. this is my 3rd honda car but never had problems with the other 2. totally unacceptable for a honda a/c to blow up. called corporate office tues and said that they will contact us within 2 business days. it's friday, have not heard a single word from them. by the way, the weather here is a 110 and no a/c.

| Obviously, my problem is universal. Have taken my 2004 CRV into local HONDA dealership multiple trips to evaluate and fix AC. AC will occasionally and without warning stop blowing cold air. Was told by Dealer that they could not fix problem unless it was happening for them. Even when having the AC completely not work, they were unable to determine what was wrong. They added freon. Problem came back.After several visits to Dealer trying to have problem fixed was told I would have to turn problem over to HONDA corporate. AC compressor has not blown yet but after reading so many blogs with problems regarding same issue I am very worried this problem will not go away. | |

Please add this one to the list, My wife has a 2002 CRV LX, it has only 48,000 miles, and last week the car started to do a noise, I checked the car and the A/C was not working. I took the car to a mechanic and he told me that the compresor was lock up, he want $1,000 for a refurbished one. After reading some of the postings seems to me that the same problem happened to many people, I will go directly with Honda Corporation to see if they can help me with this issue. Meanwhile I will take the car to the dealer for the repair. Here in North Carolina is about 95 Degrees, it is brutal to have the kids in the car with no AC. JP

My compressor locked up on trip to Florida last week. Dealer in Panama City, FL estimated $1923 to replace. I decided to wait until coming back to Dallas. In the meantime I discovered this forum. I called Honda and opened a ticket to get reimbursement. My dealer in Dallas (John Eagle) just called ans said they will replace the entire A/C on Honda's dime. Thanks guys you saved me a bundle! My VIN starts with "J". My stats 2003 Honda CR-V - 44K miles. I made sure I told the folks at American Honda this was my 3rd Honda. The American Honda number I called was 800-999-1009 |

Well, I had my 2003 Honda CR-V towed to the dealer. The dealer gave me an estimate of $1885.00 to replace just about everything. The service person stated that any time a compressor locks up you need replace just about everything, including hoses and clutch, etc. The dealer, located in PA, stated that they would call Honda headquarters tomorrow morning and see if they could do anything for me. I mentioned that I bought the car less than a year ago and that I have a letter stating the non-power train items are covered till 5/2007 or 48,000 miles. I faxed the dealer the warranty letter. My CR-V has 45,000 miles. This has been a big aggravation, considering my wife was to leave for a vacation with her mother & sister on Wednesday. I will hopefully hear good news tomorrow. I'll keep everyone points. |

| Thanks for your postings. Even though our CRV is a 2000, it only has 48K miles. The dealer quoted 1600 and said no-can-do reg. financial help. Honda Corporate did open the case and authorized the parts. Now I'm waiting for them to get the parts and finish the job. This has taken almost 2 weeks but can't complain. Glad Honda came thru. My entire family has Hondas, this is our 3rd (incl. an Acura). | |

Well people in my earlier post my 2002 CRV with 82k miles had a ac compressor failure, I took it to Pep Boys(local garage chain) and they fixed it for $1200. After reading the posts here i contacted Honda Corp on 7/11/06. They opened a case and took down all my info and i faxed them the repair bill, well today 7/17/06 i received a call from Honda Corp informing me that they were sending my a check for $1200 !!! SWEET! They did not go into any reason why they were covering it, although i suspect it could have been because this was my first Honda( they did ask) and they wanted to keep me as a customer. I wish i would have know about this issue to begin with, i would have taking it to the Dealer. My VIN # starts with a J Ken
