The compressor runs and stop frequently and also cause the light to dim when compressor is running. Definitely a problem there but don't know what. Looking for any advice and even speculation what it might be. Thanks, William p.s. Service is terrible at Honda dealer. I have a 2008 Honda CRv.

Other than this air conditioner issue, we've had great luck with the Honda's we've owned.... knock on wood. In our case, Honda ended up paying for parts and we paid for the labor for the AC.

I regreted because so many problems with the car. The doom light, SRS sensor, door latch sensor, brake locked-up, battery, and A/C compressor. Now the lawsuit with the fire. Whatelse can go wrong with Honda? I keep telling other how bad Honda cars can be untill Honda repair my car free of charge. I will not buy any Honda unless they standby their quality. I did not see other cars have so many problems. My first Honda is the 2002 CR-V. I regreted because so many problems with the car.

Sadly, until I looked online today, we didn't realize this was a common problem. SHAME on Honda for not recalling this part and doing something about this lack of quality. My mom has spent thousands over the past few years repeatedly fixing the a/c, thinking it was just a fluke. Now I know she shouldn't of had to do that, that Honda was sucking up her money in cold blood! I am going to recommend my mom trade it in and get a Toyota ASAP!

Honda refused to pay for more than 50% even though the mere fact that they are even offering to pay indicates that they know there's a problem. They refuse to recall the part. Replacing the compressor now does not guarantee that this failure will not occur again. This is a faulty design. Many people have reported multiple failures with the same car. Because of my experience with them, I will never buy another Honda again and will look into a class action lawsuit. http://www.honda-lawsuit.com/ My 2004 Honda CRV’s compressor just failed.

You pay more for Hondas because they're <b>known</b> for quality and durability, but this doesn't mean that they are actually any more durable or reliable. It's the perception that costs you money. Honda has been resting on its laurels for some time, and that legendary reputation for unsurpassed quality doesn't necessarily still hold true. While Honda still makes a well made vehicle they are not without problems, despite what that near-mythic reputation may say. Good luck dealing with the case worker- hopefully he can do something for you. The reason we spend more to buy Honda’s is because they’re known for their quality and durability.
