IN 2006 WITH 66000 MILES AND UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS THE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM STARTED TO GIVE OFF BURNING SMELL WHICH CAUSED HEADACHES AND NAUSEA BEFORE THE SYSTEM FAILED COMPLETELY. A/C COMPRESSOR WAS FOUND TO HAVE FAILED AND IT WAS REPLACED. THEN IN AUGUST 2013 WITH 95000 MILES THE UNIT FAILED AGAIN WITH THE SAME ISSUE AND SAME TOXIC FUMES. AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE HEALTH IMPACT OF THIS ESPECIALLY DUE TO THE FREQUENCY OF THIS FAILURE. RESEARCH HAS SHOWN THAT THIS COMPONENT IS OF INADEQUATE DESIGN AND HONDA LOST A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT DUE TO FREQUENT FAILURES. THIS FAILURE RATE, WHILE NOT IMPACTING THE SAFETY OF THE CAR, DOES HAVE POTENTIAL HEALTH HAZARDS FOR THE OCCUPANTS BEYOND REASONABLE RISK.

I CALLED HONDA ABOUT MY AIR CONDTIONING SYSTEM AND DID AS THEY SAID. I BROUGHT MY CAR TO AN ACCREDITED HONDA DEALERSHIP AND HAD IT DIAGNOSED (WHICH I HAD TO PAY OUT OF MY OWN POCKET). THEY QUOTED ME $4,000. I CONTACTED HONDA USA AND AFTER THREE MONTH I FINALLY HEARD BACK FROM THEM, I INFORMED THEM THAT I WAS NOT THE FIRST TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM, THAT I HAD GONE ONLINE AND FOUND THAT I WAS NOT THE ONLY HONDA OWNER WHO HAVE HAD THERE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM BREAK. THE HONDA REPRESENTATIVE TOLD ME THAT THEY CAN NOT GO BY WHAT I READ ON THE INTERNET. WHICH IS TRUE TO A POINT BUT I THINK THEY HAD HAVE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM ALREADY BECAUSE THE REPRESENTATIVE USE THE SAME DESCRIPTION I HAVE READ ABOUT THE AIR CONDITIONING UNIT, WHICH WAS "AIR CONDITIONING UNIT HAS CRACKED CAUSING SHARDS OF METAL TO PLUG UP THE UNIT, CAUSING A COMPLETE REPLACEMENT OF THE ENTIRE AIR CONDITIONING UNIT. HONDA USA QUOTED ME $3,991 TO FIX MY A/C WITH A DEADLINE OF 60 DAYS TO ACCEPT OR THEY WOULD RECIND THE "DISCOUNT" OFFER. I KNOW A/C PROBLEMS IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE BUT I FEEL THAT HONDA KNEW OR KNOWS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND SHOULD RECALL OR SHOW THERE LOYAL OWNERS THAT THEY CARE. UNTIL SUCH TIME I AM NOW A FORMER HONDA CUSTOMER.

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.

EQUIPMENT

I HAVE A 2002 HONDA CR-V WITH 84,000 MILES ON IT. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED & HAS HAD ALL MANUFACTURER RECOMMENDED SERVICES COMPLETED AND I HAVE THE RECORDS TO PROVE IT. THE A/C COMPRESSOR EXPLODED LAST WEEK CIRCULATING METAL FILINGS INTO THE VEHICLE'S SYSTEM. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE THE ENGINE COULD SEIZE AS A RESULT OF THE PRESENCE OF METAL FILINGS THEREFORE NOT HAVING ANY POWER BRAKES, POWER STEERING, ETC. ALSO, I CANNOT USE THE DEFROST WHICH CREATES LIMITED VISIBILITY IN COOLER TEMPERATURES WHICH ALSO CREATES A SAFETY ISSUE. THIS IS A COMMON, WIDELY KNOWN PROBLEM OFTEN REFERRED TO AS "HONDA BLACK DEATH".

ON JULY 15TH, THE ENGINE OF OUR CR-V ALL OF A SUDDEN HAD AN EXTRA LOAD ON IT. WE SHUT OFF THE AC AND THE EXTRA LOAD WENT AWAY. THE NEXT DAY, ABOUT 140 MILES INTO A TRIP THE AC STOPPED WORKING. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO TWO SEPARATE MECHANICS. THE NON-HONDA MECHANIC SAID THAT THERE WES A SERVICE BULLETIN ON THE AC STATING THAT THE COMPLETE AC SYSTEM HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE HONDA MECHANIC STATED ONLY THE COMPRESSOR AND THE CONDENSER HAD TO BE REPLACED. EITHER ONE IS EXTREME MONEY. THIS SEEMS TO BE A DESIGN FLAW WITH THE AC COMPRESSOR SUCH THAT WHEN IT FAILS IT DISTRIBUTES METAL THROUGHOUT THE AC SYSTEM. HONDA WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE ANY FAULT.

EQUIPMENT:APPLIANCE:AIR CONDITIONER

IN 2006, THE AIR CONDITIONING COMPRESSOR FAILED IN OUR 2002 HONDA CRV. THE CAR HAD ABOUT 63,000 MILES AT THE TIME. OUR HONDA DEALER SAID THE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED AND THE PART WAS NOT COVERED BY A RECALL. WE PURCHASED A NEW HONDA REPLACEMENT COMPRESSOR AND HAD IT INSTALLED AT A LOCAL SHOP BECAUSE HONDA'S LABOR PRICE WAS OUTRAGEOUS...OVER $3000! THIS REPAIR COST US ABOUT $2500. IN 2007, THE COMPRESSOR FAILED AGAIN AT 78,000 MILES. WE CHECKED WITH THE HONDA DEALER AGAIN, AND WERE TOLD THAT THE PART WAS NOT COVERED BY A RECALL. THEY SAID THERE WAS METAL PIECES IN THE LINES AND THE ENTIRE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM HAD TO BE REPLACED. IT WOULD COST $4000 TO HAVE THE SYSTEM REPLACED. AGAIN, I PURCHASED HONDA REPLACEMENT PARTS AND HAD A LOCAL SHOP INSTALL THE NEW AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM. THIS TIME I PAID $3200, WHICH INCLUDED A DISCOUNT ON THE LABOR RATE BECAUSE THEY HAD REPLACED THE COMPRESSOR BEFORE. WE WERE WITHOUT OUR CRV FOR OVER TWO WEEKS DURING THE HOTTEST TIME OF THE YEAR (TEMPS ABOVE 100 F). THIS WAS A TERRIBLE INCONVENIENCE, AND A FINANCIAL BURDEN. MANY OTHER HONDA CRV OWNERS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM, SO THIS IS CLEARLY A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. I SUSPECT THERE IS, OR WILL BE, A CLASS ACTION SUIT AGAINST HONDA. I HAVEN'T FOUND A WAY TO JOIN THE SUIT, BUT I AM LOOKING. SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM.

I HAVE A 2002 HONDA CRV. WHILE I WAS DRIVING LAST WEEK IT SUDDENLY BEGAN MAKING A LOUD RACKET UNDER THE HOOD AND THE A/C STOPPED PUTTING OUT COLD AIR. I TURNED OFF THE A/C AND THE NOISE STOPPED. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THE COMPRESSOR, CONDENSOR AND DRYER MUST BE REPLACED BECAUSE IT HAD EXPLODED. THIS COST $1900 TO REPAIR. AFTER READING ON THE INTERNET I SAW WHERE SEVERAL HONDAS HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM. IT SEEMS TO BE A MANUFACTURER DEFECT OF SOME SORT.
