WE BOUGHT THIS CAR IN MARCH, 2013. NOW IN 2014, WE NOTICED THE AC WASN'T WORKING WE ATTEMPTED TO RECHARGE IT WITH FREON, BUT I WAS TOLD THE COMPRESSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE COMPRESSOR WAS REPLACE, THE CONDENSER, LINES, EX VALVE, EVEN A SENSOR. PRETTY MUCH ALL THE AC SYSTEM HAS BEEN REPLACE. NOW WE HAVE NOTICED THAT ONCE THE COMPRESSOR IS ON. IT CAUSES THE ENGINE TO STALL WHILE DRIVING OR MAKING TURNS. IT FEELS AS IF THE COMPRESSOR WILL CAUSE THE ENGINE TO TURN OFF. AS IF NOT BAD ENOUGH ONCE THE CAR IS ON PARK WITH AC ON THE COMPRESSOR WILL SHUT-OFF AND THE AC WILL START BLOWING A HUMID-SMELLY AIR. ONCE IT DOES THIS, THE COMPRESSOR'S EMERGENCY VALVE WILL OPEN AND FLUSH SOME FREON. IT IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD. I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE CAR WITH MY FAMILY IN IT. SPECIALLY NOW THAT I'VE READ ABOUT ALL THE OTHER RECALLS AND COMPLAINS. DOING MY RESEARCH NOW (WHICH IS TOO LATE), I FOUND THAT HONDA WAS SUED DUE TO THIS ISSUE. AC COMPRESSOR MALFUNCTION IS TO BE FOUND IN 02-04 HONDA CRVS. OUR CRV HAS BEEN BACK AT THE MECHANIC 3 TIMES THE LAST MONTH, AND YET THE ISSUE CANT BE RESOLVE. THE MECHANIC SAYS IT HAS TO DO WITH THE WAY THE SYSTEM WAS DESIGN. ALTERNATOR AND COMPRESSOR SHARE THE SAME BAND. I'M AFRAID AND CONCERNED THAT AT SOMEPOINT BOTH THINGS WILL GIVE-OUT WHILE DRIVING. *TR

THE AC COMPRESSOR KNOCKS AS IF IT WANT TO COME OFF THE ENGINE. THIS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING CAUSING TO JERK THE CAR FORWARD WHEN IT KICKS IN, THEN STOPS AND KICKS IN AGAIN SHORTLY THERE AFTER. THE CAR ALMOST STALLED OUT JUST BECAUSE OF THIS. THE ENGINE WORKS HARD AT KEEPING THE COMPRESSOR FROM SHUTTING THE CAR DOWN. ONE OF THESE DAYS IT WILL COME OF THE ENGINE. *TR

I JUST BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE FEW MONTHS AGO. NOTICED AS SOON AS I SAT IN THE DRIVER SEAT, IT WAS VERY LOOSE AND WOBBLY. THE SALESMAN INFORMED ME IT HAD NOT BEEN INSTALLED PROPERLY AT THE FACTORY, AND THE BOLTS HAD CAME LOOSE OR BROKE, BUT THE BOLTS DO NOT LINE UP WITH THE HOLES IN THE SEAT TO HOLD IT IN PLACE. I READ IN THE RECALLS, THAT THIS ISSUE WAS ONLY IN 2 VEHICLES AND THEY HAD BEEN FIXED. THERE ARE DEFINITELY MORE THAN 2 AFFECTED, INCLUDING MINE. *TR
