Honda Cr-v Engine And Engine Cooling Cooling System Safety Report | June 14, 2010
Reported on June 14, 2010
| I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF A 2002 HONDA CR-V WHICH HAS AN AIR CONDITIONER FAILURE AT 86,000 MILES. ALL COMPONENTS NEED TO BE REPLACED. IT WAS FIRST NOTICEABLE WITH A RATTLING NOISE UNDER THE HOOD - NEEDS COMPRESSOR, DRYER, RECEIVER, CONDENSER ETC REPLACED FOR AROUND $1000-2200 AT AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. DEALER IS APPROX. $2500-3500 WHICH I HAVE NOT PINNED DOWN YET. AM. HONDA WILL DO NOTHING. MILEAGE SHOULD NOT BE A FACTOR HERE; HONDA MANUFACTURED A DEFECTIVE PART AND SHOULD PAY THE ENTIRE REPAIR AMOUNT. I AM SURE IF AM. HONDA REP. WAS FACED WITH SAME SITUATION, HE WOULD BE DEMANDING PAYMENT AS WELL. HOPE FOR DEFINITIVE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. ALSO, OXYGEN SENSOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND DOOR LOCKS WILL NO LONGER WORK THEREFORE YOU CANNOT LOCK THE CAR. HAVE REPLACED TAIL LIGHTS 3X IN A YEAR AND NOW HONDA SAYS IT NEEDS A SOCKET REPLACEMENT. THESE ARE VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIRS ON WHAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RELIABLE VEHICLE. *TR | |
