| 2004 honda crv. air conditioner failed at < 72,000 miles. no other issues with the car. but no one can drive it. i have ms and we're on a fixed income, so i can't afford to get it fixed. because of the ms, i can't take heat. i opened a case with honda, but they want me to have the dealer look at it first. that would cost close to $80. not possible right now. *tr | |||

| I'm the first owner of a 2004 honda crv with a 5 speed manual transmission. from june 2008 to the present (september 2008) the vehicle has experienced a stall problem during every single use. current vehicle mileage is 115,000. all the stalls occur during the same period relative engine startup, between about five and ten minutes after starting the engine, and when the vehicle comes to a stop. this stall period basically occurs at stop signs for a multi-minute period after the choke comes down. unfortunately this stall period coincides with typical stop and go driving after departure: near home, workplace, schools, and retail outlets. i consider this a safety concern. the stall occurs suddenly and without warning. power steering and braking systems become difficult to use. i have narrowly avoided a number of accidents while trying to recover from a stall. the vehicle often does not start back up immediately after stalling. i'm concerned the starter will degrade and further inhibit timely restarting. repair efforts have been unsuccessful. an independent shop and a honda dealer have been tried. the honda dealer in exeter, new hampshire, blatantly avoided the problem and charged about $600 for unrelated work that was also not ordered. apparently the diagnostic computer reported a voltage drop. the independent shop has attempted to determine the problem at three separate occasions. spark plugs and wires have been changed and other regular maintenance has been completed. an immediate fix is desired for this 2004 honda crv stalling problem. my young family is put at an elevated risk every time we drive somewhere, we cannot easily sell a vehicle in this condition, and we cannot afford to buy an extra vehicle. *tr | |||

| A/c condenser on 2004 honda crv imploded while driving on interstate. service station told me that i was very lucky b/c there was nothing holding on a certain belt other than tension. if the belt had come off, i would have lost power steering and alternator would have died. found this is a widespread problem on this model vehicle and honda should be held accountable and issue recall. besides it being a very expensive repair, there are obvious safety issues here. *tr | |||

| A/c compressor went bad. ac was working great all of a sudden on one hot day, it just stops working when it was working perfectly fine. thought i needed to get the ac charge, took it, and they today me the ac compressor went and i would need to contact honda since they are the only one who deals with this. call honda and they told me that it would 1200.00 to start. this is outrageous with a know problem. there should be some type of recall on this, if he has happened to so many other people. *tr | |||
