2002 HONDA CR-V Complaints

2002 HONDA CRV - ROTORS NEED TO BE REPLACED VERY FREQUENTLY DUE TO WARPING WHICH CAUSES VIBRATIONS IN THE STEERING WHEEL WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES. MY CRV HAS HAD ITS ROTORS REPLACED FOUR TIMES AND THE VEHICLE HAS 90,000 MILES. IT IS NOT DRIVEN IN HARSH CONDITIONS. *TR

AIR COMPRESSOR IN MY HONDA CR-V WENT OUT. NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. COST $3300. *TR

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. *TR

2002 HONDA CR-V WITH 98,000 MILES. DRIVING DOWN INTERSTATE WITH AC ON. STOPPED FOR GAS. GOT BACK ON INTERSTATE AND AC WOULD NOT BLOW COLD AIR; ONLY HOT AIR.

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

I HAVE A 2002 HONDA CRV WITH 60,000 MILES AND I WAS DRIVING WITH MY AIR CONDITIONING RUNNING AND CAME TO A STOP LIGHT. AS SOON AS I PULLED AWAY THE CAR STARTING MAKING A VERY LOUD CLANKING NOISE. I PULLED OVER TO TRY TO FIGURE IT OUT AND REALIZED THAT WHEN I TURNED OFF THE AIR IT STOPPED. I DROVE BY THE HONDA DEALERSHIP IMMEDIATELY AND WAS TOLD THAT THE SOUND WAS FROM THE FAILED AIR COMPRESSOR THAT WE ABOUT $1200-2500 TO REPLACE. I HAVE CALLED AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR COMPANY AND THEY REFUSED ANY GOODWILL ASSISTANCE. *TR

A/C COMPRESSOR EXPLODED BRAKING THE SHAFT OFF OF THE COMPRESSOR AND SENDING SHARDS OF METAL THROUGHOUT THE AC SYSTEM. *TR
