| Description of the problem | On april 25th, 2009, the a/c compressor in my 2004 honda cr-v ex imploded, sending metal shavings throughout the system and requiring a complete replacement of the system at a cost of $3500. There were no noticeable events prior to the seizing of the compressor. Other than this was the first warm day of the season (@85 degrees). The dealer is refusing to pay for the repair, despite the frequency of similar reports across the internet. We have done all factory scheduled at the dealer and have taken very good care of the car. |
