Honda Cr-v Engine And Engine Cooling Cooling System Safety Report | July 14, 2008
Reported on July 14, 2008
| WE OWN A 2002 HONDA . THE AIR CONDITIONING COMPRESSOR AND OTHER PARTS INVOLVING THE AIR CONDITIONING WENT OUT IN 2005 (OCT) JUST AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRED. WE HAD IT ALL REPLACED. THEY CALLED IT GOODWILL AND WE DID NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR IT. YESTERDAY JULY 14, 2008 IT APPEARS TO HAVE GONE OUT AGAIN, THE SAME WAY AS BEFORE. I WENT TO AN ONLINE BOARD ON EDMONDS AND READ UP ON ALL THE COMPLAINTS THAT THEY HAVE HAD WITH THE 2002-2004 (MAYBE LATER) COMPRESSORS BLOWING UP AND SHOOTING PIECES OF METAL ALL OVER CAUSING OTHER PARTS TO BREAK. THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A SERIOUS CONDITION WITH HONDAS AIR CONDITIONING COMPRESSORS! THEY HAVE NOT DONE A RECALL ON THEM, BUT FROM WHAT I HEAR SOME GET THEM REPLACED FOR FREE (AS DID WE) BUT ONLY THE FIRST TIME, AFTER THAT IT COSTS THEM APX $3,000 TO REPLACE EVERYTHING INVOLVED. THIS IS HAPPENING TOO FREQUENTLY TO BE NORMAL. SOME SAID IT WAS EVERY 40,000 MILES. OURS WENT LONGER. PLEASE HELP AS WE CAN NOT AFFORD TO REPLACE IT AGAIN AND WE LIVE IN HOT COUNTRY! *TR | |
