| Description of the problem | Before we actually knew what was happening we noticed a burning rubber smell right after we got my honda cr-v. Thought maybe this the way it smells when we travel mountains. We live in a very mountainous area. Found out after 83000 that there are numerous problems with premature failure of ac compressor. So then it happens the a c stopped working without any warning. The temp outside was over 107 degrees. I took the car the nearest garage, no honda dealers could look at my car for at least 1 week. So the garage i took it too sd that they noticed blue on the metal of the compressor housing and around the pulley. No wear or tearing on the belt though. The garage mechanic c sd that the blue on the housing meant that the metal on the housing was getting really hot, which would acct or the smell of burnt rubber. I have not had repaired because my garage cannot find an ac compressor in north america. So luckily no accidents or fires but to me this is a safety hazard. |
