The drivers side power window control is shorting out. the front passenger window would not go up all the way about a week ago it was manually fixed by my husband but the controller on driver's side was shorting out. there was a recall on certain crv's but we never got one and now our car is acting up just like the recall. when i called both the local honda dealership that we got the vehicle from and called directly to honda i was told that my vehicle didn't qualify since it was not recalled. i feel that since my car is doing what the recall said, it should be part of the recall repair since this is now a safety issue. could you please let me know how best to handle my car situation. i have been a loyal honda owner for years and really love my crv. i plan on sticking with honda because we have always been very satisfied. look forward to hearing back from someone on this matter. *tr

Tomorrow i take my 2002 honda cr-v in for it's fifth air conditioner compressor. if it wasn't for the concern about visibility to defrost/defog the windshield in certain weather conditions, would not be shelling out another $1600 plus tax on this reliability highly overrated vehicle. currently has only 166,600 miles on it. this time failure is being attributed to the condenser fan needing replacement also. at least this is the first time the compressor didn't just completely fail. buying it as a certified used vehicle only helped with the first replacement, so i guess it was worth it, but certainly didn't get the long term peace of mind expected for the extra cost. honda knows they have a problem but appear to not care to help owners cope with the exorbitant cost of owning this over priced vehicle. *tr

I have a 2002 honda cr-v with 84,000 miles on it. this vehicle has been well maintained & has had all manufacturer recommended services completed and i have the records to prove it. the a/c compressor exploded last week circulating metal filings into the vehicle's system. this is a safety hazard because the engine could seize as a result of the presence of metal filings therefore not having any power brakes, power steering, etc. also, i cannot use the defrost which creates limited visibility in cooler temperatures which also creates a safety issue. this is a common, widely known problem often referred to as "honda black death". *tr

What's going on with the honda crv air conditioning?????? i've had honda's for 25 years!!! i was driving home from the beach (myr), i heard a crackling and a loud bang noise, as i was driving and my a/c totally stopped working.......what's the story?????????? this never happened before......what was the implosion?????

A crack appeared on the lower right hand side (passenger side) of my windshield this morning. there is no evidence of an impact site.*ak

Air conditioner system failure. a safety concern in that this locks up the compressor pulley and possibly the entire engine belt. also, defroster not working properly. replaced by honda.*ak

My 2002 honda cr-v has had a cracked windshield twice in two years. the impact point was nearly the same in both cases - lower left corner. the first case occurred on i-95. the impact point was nearly invisible to the eye. i went to two dealers who each found the point by tracing the now huge crack with the tip of a pen. it could be found. both denied warranty coverage. the second case occurred on rt 1 approaching the trenton train stn exit from pennsylvania. this time i looked on the internet to see if their was a known problem with cr-v windows. it appears there is. a problem honda has acknowledged with a little advertised, goodwill warranty. i will follow up. i am wondering if the dealers were aware of this policy, but denied anyway. it was suggested i document my issue through your web site. *nm
