| Description of the problem | After 5 years of problem free driving, my crv started making a loud rattling sound after driving for about 10 minutes. I tried turning the blower fan off , then air conditioner off and realized it was the ac making the noise. I left the ac off from then on and took the car to the closest dealer the very next day. They told me the compressor had "seized" and that metal particles had been forced throughout the entire ac system. The repairs for this were quoted at $2650. I then saw on the internet where there were 678 posts of the same problem in different year crv's and that honda had reimbursed a few of them. I feel like this must be a very prevalent problem with crv's and there should be some sort of reimbursement, because a car without ac is pretty much worthless. |
