VISIBILITY, EQUIPMENT
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

EQUIPMENT, VISIBILITY
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

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". *TR
