| On my 2003 honda at around 66.000 miles the air conditioning quit working. although i hardly use a/c since i only have a short drive to work. i took the vehicle into a honda dealer. it was reported that the a/c blew up and was contaminated throughout the system. i had to replace everything including lines. although they claim this happens, im concerned since the a/c was rarely used. clearly a defect in the a/c. ive owned other vehicles with only having to do regular maintenace on the a/c with no problems. this repair costed 2,611.70. i had an extended warrenty which did not help much either. i have been told or read other problems with the a/c in hondas. | |||

| The air conditioner stopped working. i took it to a repair shop and they found a hole in the bottom of the compressor. they will have to replace the compressor, flush the system, repalce the dryer and then charge the system. the vehicle only had 62500 miles on it and the compressor should last alot longer than that. it will cost $756.24 to repair the system and that is if these are the only parts that need to be replaced. i am asking for the reimbursment to reapair the air conditioner. | |||

| Whilst driving on the highway, out of nowhere the hood flipped up over the windshield and blocked all view. i almost got into a huge accident and was lucky enough to be in the left lane. the hood is unfixable, the roof is damaged where the hood impacted and the electric on the inside section of the roof no longer work. the hood had not been opened for a while and was closed correctly. i have searched online and this has happened to many other drivers of the same model. i almost lost my life and it ended up costing me $2000 in repairs. why has there not been a recall when honda have fixed the problem in newer models? thank you | |||

| The air conditioner (ac) stopped working. i then took the car to my mechanic who told me that the compressor locked up and destroyed many components in the system. he quoted me about $2,000 to fix the issue. i then took the car to honda dealer and they told the repair cost would be $3500. i live in the dallas, texas area and we have been experiencing triple digit temperature. this is a car my wife uses. we have two little kids. not having a working ac is a life threatening situation. i contacted honda usa for help and they told me since the car was not under warranty there wasn't anything they can do for me. i explained to them that there was a serious design flaw with the system. they would not agree even though there are countless postings on the web about this particular issue. honda should be forced to issue a recall for this defective system. in hot climates, not having an ac is a serious safety issue. now, i am stuck! where am i going to get $3500 to fix this issue. this problem has made the car completely useless. i am between a rock and a hard place. honda should not get away with this because this company is endangering the lives of so many people. | |||

| Driving at 5 mph after leaving home i heard a grinding noise. it sounded like it came from the cabin fan (the air conditioner was on). i turned off fan and noise stopped. at traffic light tried fan without the air conditioner and engine stalled. engine did not restart until i turned off fan. problem was identified as failure of air conditioner compressor and a frozen air conditioner clutch. other than the noise there was no warning of failure. car was serviced 2 months and 800 miles before incident. idling at a stop light at the time of failure resulted in stalled engine. if car was moving there would have been a loss of control as power steering and brakes would have been affected. if failure happened at higher speed i think i would have experienced catastrophic failure of the engine or compressor clutch (and shrapnel in the engine compartment or on the road and likely loss of control). here was no early indication or warning of component failure. although damage was isolated to compressor, if i had reacted slower or had the speed been higher there would have been high likelihood of additional damage or injury. | |||

| I recently purchased a 2003 honda cr-v ex with 62k miles on it. after driving the car for less than 3k additional miles the air conditioner just stopped working. we were driving with the air conditioner on and then next thing you know it just stopped blowing cold air. i took in to be diagnosed and was told the the air compressor needed to be replaced. the total repair cost is about $1200. i haven't had it repaired yet because i don't have the extra cash. looks like this is a widespread problem with honda. | |||

| The ac compressor on my 2003 honda cr-v, 60917 miles, distroyed itself internally causing the engine to cut off. i had difficulty pulling the car off the road since there was no power steering. local honda dealer said the compressor came apart sending metal shavings throughout the system. this will require a complete a/c system replacement, cost $3300. after checking on the internet, this seems to be an ongoing problem with the cr-v. | |||
