Replying to: jorgeperez16 (Jul 16, 2006 10:08 am) I talked to Honda Corp yesterday and they gave me a case #, then I took today the car to the dealer in Raleigh, they repair the whole system including hoses in no time, they also said that normally it would cost $ 3,000, but it cost me only $50, for the diagnostic. Thanks to Honda, they really are doing the right thing. my vin starts with J I would not hesitate to buy another Honda car (Odissey) next year.  JP |

My Honda dealer just called me today and stated that Honda Corporation will cover the entire charge to replace the AC compressor, hoses, clutch, etc. The aggravating part is it'll take till Friday to get all the parts needed to make the repair. I was told they would loan me a car from Enterprise Rental for 2 days and that anything beyond that would be my expense. |

Replying to: scutter (Jul 15, 2006 10:32 pm) just got the call that Honda was replacing my AC system free of charge, even though I have 67,000 miles and no extended warranty. Any company can design a defective part, few will stand up and do the right thing. Thank you Honda! And thanks to those who took the time to post here, as you cot me on the right track.

My 2004 CRV with 40K miles had the A/C go out. My local mechanic gave me an estimate of $1700. When he called the Honda Distribution Center, they told him that they had replaced about 30 compressors in the past month. The mechanic recommended I talk to Honda to see if they would cover some of the costs. I contacted Classic Honda in Round Rock Tx. The Service Manager acknowledged the problem right away. TheY contacted the Honda District Manager to see what could be done. Honda agreed to pay for parts but not labor. This left me with a $410 bill. I was told that they amount Honda would cover was based on the condition of the vehicle and if you were a "loyal" customer. I told the dealer that any costs on may part to replace a defective part was not acceptable. They offered to cover all but $200 of the repair costs. Since they had my car and I needed it back, I agreed. I am now working with Honda for reimbursement of the $200.

I just bought a 2002 Honda CRV with no extended warranty two months ago from a dealership. The other day my AC stopped working and started to make grinding noises. I took my car to a local mechanic and was told the the AC compressor failed and needs to be replaced. The cost is $1227. By chance, I came across this forum and called the Honda dealership and asked about the "unofficial" extended warranty on AC compressors. He advised that he has heard of no such thing but will do a diagnostic and contact Honda Corp. to see if they will provide financial assistance. The dealership advised that depending on the problem Honda Corp. could opt to take care of 25%-50% of the cost or none at all. He also mentioned something about the "goodwill warranty". There are 71k miles on the car and the dealership said it probably wouldn't have been much of problem to receive financial assistance if the car only had 40k miles on it. This whole ordeal is so fustrating!! I'll be back to give an update.

Our '04 CR-V with 51,000 just konked out today. Timing was great. The local weather guy said today was the hottest July day in KC in 23 years! Anyway, I took it to the dealer, O'Neal Honda, and they intimated that Honda National may extend a "goodwill warranty" to us. Their Service Manager is on vacation until next Monday, so we still have the car. QUESTION: Does anyone know if we can still drive the car or will it damage the engine? Someone said there may be metal shavings in the "system" now since the external case split. Thanks, Joe

Hello all - it was through this site that I found the information about calling American Honda when my 02 CRV's compressor died a quick and loud death last fall. The dealership gave me a guilt trip over having not bought an extended warranty and were sort of rude to me in the process. From there I was determined so I googled 'Honda CRV compressor problems' and found my way here. I had a full cost replacement coverage from American Honda within three days and a less smug than before repair tech fixing my car. I also found out that the previous owner had all the A/C parts replaced at around 22k miles. I'd bought the car when it had 25k and there were less than 40k on it when this happened again --- so my CRV is on it's 3rd unit. I'm hoping this one decides to stick around. Honda paying for the repair at full cost and doing it so quickly has made me a Honda owner for life. |
