| Description of the problem | Please visit this link as it shows hundreds of complaints about the same issue: http://www. Topix. Com/forum/autos/honda-cr-v/tu0okfjgv9v3f3fgl/p16#lastpost. Honda is selling a faulty air compressor and they are charging thousands of dollars to fix it. A loud bang occurs, which throws metal fragments that mechanics say could seize the engine, then the air conditioner blows hot air. Some of these compressors have gone three and four times per vehicle. American honda does not offer to recall the part; instead, they only pay some of the charges to repair the problem if the customer tells them they know about this faulty part. Everyone is being charged different prices for the same problem, and most of these break downs are happening on practically-new vehicles! Please visit that link and look at some of the complaints. Someone has to help about this. Thanks much. |
