| Description of the problem | 2008 honda crv-compressor needs replacing 65,000 miles at the time the compressor went out. Honda warranty only covers 36,000 miles. Did not by extended warranty. Has not replaced part due to cost. Honda purchased at paris honda has talked to them however, 1200 dollars for a rebuilt compressor to be installed and much higher for a new one. This is robbery and poorly built compressors. Is it alright from them to charge so much money for a vehicle with sorry service and parts?? If they are having so many compressor problems why not recall them all and fix the problem. I will never by another honda and when asked i advice any one to stay away from the auto brand. |
