Honda Cr-v Engine And Engine Cooling Cooling System Safety Report | May 26, 2009
Reported on May 26, 2009
| I HAVE A 2002 HONDA CR-V THAT HAD 135,000 MILES AT THE TIME THE COMPRESSOR IMPLODED. AMERICAN HONDA IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE COMPRESSOR IMPLODES, SHOOTING SHARDS OF METAL THROUGHOUT THE AC SYSTEM, RESULTING IN EXPENSIVE REPLACEMENT OF PARTS OTHER THAN THE COMPRESSOR. ESSENTIALLY THE ENTIRE AC SYSTEM NEEDS TO BE REBUILT AT A COST IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF $2500-3500 (MY BILL CAME TO $3100). AMERICAN HONDA REFUSED TO PICK UP THE TAB ON ANY OF THE PARTS OR LABOR ASSOCIATED WITH THIS REPAIR. IF YOU GOOGLE HONDA+AIR+COMPRESSOR+FAILURE YOU WILL FIND MANY, MANY REPORTS OF THIS ISSUE, ALL REPORTED TO AMERICAN HONDA. *TR | |
