I just saw a recall on some 2004 honda crv models about the window switch. Mine went faulty a couple years ago and I cannot use 1 window. The dealer said it was the switch then, but it was somewhere around $1000 to fix so I decided to just not use the window. I just saw the recall and checked my VIN which says itsnot affected. How do I get this fixed? Thank you.
The Air Conditioner began making a loud noise under the hood then it began making a rattling noise. When I turned it on it blew warm air. Now I don-€™t get the noise only warm air. I took 2004 Honda CR-V to the shop to get checked out. I rec-€™d an estimate of $1,800. This vehicle-€™s A/C compressor motor is directly under the motor making it difficult to remove/repair/replace. The clutch engaging the compressor is not working ** due to the heat of the motor. Honda: This is a very poor placement for an A/C compressor.
I along with other Honda CRV users are looking to file a complaint to have a possible recall issued to Honda. I have tried contacting corporate and they act like they've never heard of the issue. The issue is the fact that the air compressor found on the CR-V has the issue of 'imploding'; the internals completely shattering, forcing debris throughout your ac system, plaguing all of the associated components and causing the compressor to seize or 'lock up'. this debris will find itself lodged in these parts and a simple flush just won't do. Replacing only the ac compressor and drier is not sufficient enough to have reliable ac once again. I am just to the point of even scared to drive my car anymore and Honda will not help with the issue. Even doing a simple google search of Honda CRV compressor failure you ill find hundreds of articles stating there is an issue of CRV's from 2002-2006. I feel as if something needs to be done. Even if they just add a shield from the compressor to the engine. Please help if you can; even if you could just investigate it. Thank you so much in advance
Since 2015 and still today my car has been making a very loud whooping noise when the A/C is turned on. It has progressively turned louder, and over the last month or so, the A/C works on and off but never with the force it used to. The problem has always occurred when the vehicle is running and with the A/C on.
I first heard a noise from the front of the car under the hood, and later I felt many metallic pieces banging inside the car and falling off, when I was driving on a city street. Later when I took it to the mechanics, I was told the air compressor was exploded, and some of the metallic pieces from the explosion partially cut my belt. The mechanics said it is necessary to replace the entire air compressor, condenser and belt, and do a complete flush of the system. The worst case, if some small pieces residue inside the system, it could hurt the engine.
My airbags have been replaced as part of the takata recall. After the last airbag was replaced on 2/12/2016, the service advisor told me that the SRS opds unit was malfunctioning and needed to be replaced at my expense ($475). He said that this needed to be replaced in order for the airbags to work properly. My contention is that if this unit needs to be replaced for the airbags to work, then this is a safety issue that should be covered by the manufacturer, exactly like the airbags have. I called Honda is out of warranty and therefore my responsibility. I disagree. Please review my case and let me know your thoughts. Thank you.
For the last 3 years we have had three (3) main issues with this vehicle, 1) air bag SRS light has been on, 2) the front passenger window will not roll down and 3) the air conditioning system has not operated. From the begining I have checked on recalls/ campaigns for these items and the only recall we received for this vehicle VIN # was the air bag recall (btw we took it in for the recal and the SRS light is still on). When you look on Honda's website to check for recalls no other issues come up with my VIN#, yet if you look the vehicle up by the model and year, a whole list of "campaigns" come up under this vehicle. My vehcile has had the same problems as the said make and models for years. I filed a complaint with Honda America (case # 04205532) this morning and spoke with "serinity" of the product concern section of Honda America and basiclly she is telling me because my particilar vehcile was manufactured in Japan (VIN # starting with a "J") that no recalls apply to me. But yet I am having the same issues with my vehicle of the same model and year. Honda basically has stated that they cannot offer any help on this matter. Please note, there are other safety "campaigns" that I never got notices, such as wiring harnessess. I took my vehicle into a non-dealer mechanic for air-conditioning services and they stated to me 2 + years ago that this vehicle is known to have a major defect in the ac clutch on the ac pump was designed too close to the engine and thus heats up and shatters into many pieces and flows though the whole ac system thus requiring that the whole ac system is required to be replaced (Honda service bulletin # 12-072). Honda has issued a campaign increasing the ac system warranty to 10 years/ 100,000 miles, but again this does not apply to my vehicle, yet I have the same exact issues on my vehicle. Please help on this matter.
Driver's side sun visor will not stay in position. Drops down constantly. Will not stay up nor pushed forward against windshield. The owners forum has tons of CRV owners with this problem. I contacted Honda and was told they do not guarantee that part! this is a major safety hazard. Honda knows it has issue with it's visors however will not issue a recall for the problem.
Ac compressor fail. Compressor seized up, built pressure, exploded. Had repaired. 2 years later, same thing. Had it repaired. 3 years later, 5/29/15, same thing happened. Looked online for recall. Thousands of complaints, but no recall. Could potentially cause injury.
Steering wheel adjuster comes loose every once in a while while driving causing the the steering wheel to move loosely. Had occured several times in last 7 years.
As I was driving, without warning I heard a loud "metalic" noise that sounded as though I had run over something. As I was seeking a place to turn off of the road, the sound stopped for a few seconds then returned. At that time, I lost my power steering and had difficulty pulling off to a side road that I found several hundred feet from where the incident occurred. When I got out of the car, I noted that there was a chunk of metal protruding from the bottom of the car near the passenger side front tire. When the car was finally towed to a Honda dealer, I was told that the air conditioner compressor had exploded! I understand wearable parts breaking but exploding! I was within a mile of approaching an on-ramp to a 3-lane highway and shudder to think of what would have happened had the explosion occurred on the interstate! beyond the inconvenience and cost (approaching $2,000), this type of catasrophic incident is extremely dangerous. The explosion caused me to lose full control of my vehicle and most definitely could have caused a very serious accident.
I was driving about 30 mph and heard a loud bang coming from the front of the car. The air conditioning started to blow hot air.I pulled over and found upon opening the hood that oil from the A/C compressor had been forced out of the compressor on to the engine. I brought the Honda CRV to my service station immediately. Upon their inspection, they found that the A/C compressor had exploded, sending refrigerant oil and pieces of the compressor housing down to the ground under the front tire. The repairs needed were a new A/C compressor, condensor, A/C hoses, expansion valve at a cost of twelve hundred dollars.
Ac compressor has failed. Vehicle model and manufacturer have a long history with this particular issue. There is no recall in process. Manufacturing defect causes expensive repairs for replacing entire ac system at cost of $4000, and each time ac fails, it requires a recharge with R type freon - which means the R freon has escaped into the atmosphere. There is lawyer investigating class action - [xxx].. [xxx]. there are many Honda CRV forums discussing this particular issue. Honda negates to accept responsibility and repair costs.
My air conditioning was not working well. I took my car to the Honda dealership and they said I needed to have the ac clutch pulley replaced. Calling around, other car repair shops said that if I didn't get it replaced immediately there could be a catastrophic failure. Honda then investigated further & found out that I needed to have the entire ac system replaced because the ac compressor went bad. Looking online, this is a common issue for Honda Cr-vs. There are multiple websites/blogs discussing the issue and also a class action lawsuit. Honda should recall the ac compressor to fix the issue.
