Honda Cr-v Visibility Safety Report | June 02, 2011
Reported on June 02, 2011
| TOMORROW I TAKE MY 2002 HONDA CR-V IN FOR IT'S FIFTH AIR CONDITIONER COMPRESSOR. IF IT WASN'T FOR THE CONCERN ABOUT VISIBILITY TO DEFROST/DEFOG THE WINDSHIELD IN CERTAIN WEATHER CONDITIONS, WOULD NOT BE SHELLING OUT ANOTHER $1600 PLUS TAX ON THIS RELIABILITY HIGHLY OVERRATED VEHICLE. CURRENTLY HAS ONLY 166,600 MILES ON IT. THIS TIME FAILURE IS BEING ATTRIBUTED TO THE CONDENSER FAN NEEDING REPLACEMENT ALSO. AT LEAST THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THE COMPRESSOR DIDN'T JUST COMPLETELY FAIL. BUYING IT AS A CERTIFIED USED VEHICLE ONLY HELPED WITH THE FIRST REPLACEMENT, SO I GUESS IT WAS WORTH IT, BUT CERTAINLY DIDN'T GET THE LONG TERM PEACE OF MIND EXPECTED FOR THE EXTRA COST. HONDA KNOWS THEY HAVE A PROBLEM BUT APPEAR TO NOT CARE TO HELP OWNERS COPE WITH THE EXORBITANT COST OF OWNING THIS OVER PRICED VEHICLE. *TR | |
