| Description of the problem | The a/c compressor in my 2004 cr-v "blew up" and stopped working on may 2, 2009. A local honda dealership replaced the part on may 5, 2009. The vehicle only had 62k miles on it. The dealership said there were issues with earlier models of the cr-v, but that honda had changed the type of compressor in the 2004 models. However, there are a lot of blogs on the internet devoted to a/c compressor issues with the cr-vs, including the 2004 models. Although the dealership wrote off part of the replacement cost as warranty coverage (only after i filed a complaint with honda), i feel that there should be a recall of compressors in 2004 model cr-vs and any repairs paid for by customers refunded. |
