| My fuel gauge is not accurate: if the tank drops to half full, the gauge is unreliable and often registers more or less gas than there is. usually there is less gas than the gauge registers, but i've filled up the tank until the tank clicked, and the gauge still read 3/4 full. i've been browsing on some online forums, and this seems to be a common problem with the 2002 crv. on this site, it looks like 8 different people with 2002 honda crvs have posted the same complaint: http://www.topix.com/forum/autos/honda-cr-v/tphioaurac0i3t5o3 this is a safety hazard for me because i live in wi, where temperatures commonly reach below zero in the winter! i commute 50 minutes using a country road, and i could literally freeze if my gas gauge is unreliable, and i think that i have more gas than i have. (there are no public pay phones on my route, and there aren't always houses within walking distance.) this could, of course, also be a problem for anyone driving on the freeway who runs out of fuel due to a fault gauge/sending unit. i took it to a dealer in madison, wi, and the dealer said that the estimated cost was $450+ for parts and labor. help! do the right thing, honda, and issue a recall if this is a known problem. it does seem to be a flaw in the mass-produced component, not just individual quirk of one car/driver. | |||

| I called honda about my air condtioning system and did as they said. i brought my car to an accredited honda dealership and had it diagnosed (which i had to pay out of my own pocket). they quoted me $4,000. i contacted honda usa and after three month i finally heard back from them, i informed them that i was not the first to have this problem, that i had gone online and found that i was not the only honda owner who have had there air conditioning system break. the honda representive told me that they can not go by what i read on the internet. which is true to a point but i think they had have many complaints about this problem already because the representive use the same description i have read about the air conditioning unit, which was air conditioning unit has cracked causing shards of metal to plug up the unit, causing a complete replacement of the entire air conditioning unit. honda usa quoted me $3,991 to fix my a/c with a deadline of 60 days to accept or they would recend the discount offer. i know a/c problems is not a safety issue but i feel that honda knew or knows about this problem and should recall or show there loyal owners that they care. until such time i am now a former honda customer. | |||

| Crv with 45,000 miles made loud grinding noise and a/c stopped working. occupants could have suffocated due to lack of air conditioning in car as medical conditions prevented occupants from opening windows. | |||

| The ac started to make banging noise, then ceased to work. this started at about 100,000 miles, just after the warrantee expired. in 90-100 degree weather this is extremely dangerous -- i find myself falling asleep behind the wheel in the heat, even when windows are open. i can't afford $2000+ for repairs. apparently lots of cr-v owners are experiencing this problem with ac compressor. honda should be recalling this vehicle and pay for its repairs | |||

| I was driving down a highway in annapolis, maryland at 55 mph and the entire sunroof of my 2002 honda crv suddenly shattered into thousands of tiny glass fragments that showered down upon my daughter (in the front passenger seat) and i. nothing had fallen onto it from above, and there were no prior cracks or defects in the glass. there was a loud noise as this occurred, suggesting the double pane glass simply exploded. | |||

| My 2002 honda cr-v gas cap kept coming loose. we went back to honda a bought a new gas cap, but within weeks that too kept coming loose. i just brought my car in to honda because of a failure with the drivers door actuator and switch and the check engine light is now on and i was told that the reason the cap kept coming loose and the light is on was because i needed the replace the filler neck. this repair was going to be over $300.00. since i had just spent a lot to fix the door and switch, i decided to wait until i could afford it. in the meantime, i am tightening the cap daily so that the smell of gasoline goes away. | |||

| I am the original owner of a 2002 honda cr-v which has an air conditioner failure at 86,000 miles. all components need to be replaced. it was first noticeable with a rattling noise under the hood - needs compressor, dryer, receiver, condensor etc replaced for around $1000-2200 at an independent mechanic. dealer is approx. $2500-3500 which i have not pinned down yet. am. honda will do nothing. mileage should not be a factor here; honda manufactured a defective part and should pay the entire repair amount. i am sure if am. honda rep. was faced with same situation, he would be demanding payment as well. hope for definitive class action lawsuit. also, oxygen sensor needs to be replaced and door locks will no longer work therefore you cannot lock the car. have replaced tail lights 3x in a year and now honda says it needs a socket replacement. these are very expensive repairs on what should have been a reliable vehicle. | |||
