| Description of the problem | The honda cr-v truck has an air conditioning compressor that is a safety hazard and they refuse to do a recall on it, even though mechanics repeatedly say that the metal fragments it throws after it breaks can cause an engine to seize. There are hundreds of complaints about this at this link. Http://www. Topix. Com/forum/autos/honda-cr-v/tu0okfjgv9v3f3fgl/p16#lastpost. There are many posts before this page; i sent the link to the last post. There was no accident in my case, but they're going to wait until someone gets killed, then they'll do the recall out of fear. Honda will not do a recall on this, but they are refunding money only if customers tell them they know about this problem. Otherwise, they charge $800-$2500 for this faulty part of theirs. It is criminal! Thanks, if you can help. |
