| Description of the problem | The air conditioner stopped blowing cold air. An independent service technician diagnosed the problem as the compressor bearings failing internally and causing a hole in the casing. The estimate is $1350. 00 to replace the compressor, condenser, expansion valve and flush the system of fragments that may have entered the system. After a phone call to american honda i am told there is no safety recall on this issue and my vehicle is outside it's warranty period. Since the repairs have already been started, i am unable to take the vehicle to an authorized honda dealership for diagnosis. Honda's position is they do not have contracts with independent service providers so they are unable to assist me. This 2005 honda crv has 90,000 miles and joins the ranks of other hondas with similar uncompensated repairs for air conditioner failure. |
