2005 Honda CR-V Engine Problems

“The car was making noise diagnosed by Honda as the transmission pump. Car had only 79,000 miles and was serviced regularly and all fluids are changed regularly. I had the transmission fixed elsewhere for half the price Honda wanted. I n,ever heard of a transmission problem at such a low mileage. Very disappointed in Honda.”

“While on a road trip driving home on a major interstate highway, the A/C compressor went out. After a few miles warning lights went off and the engine temperature shot up and it started overheating. We got off of the highway as fast as we could. When we pulled over, my husband opened the hood and intense steam blew out from the radiator area. Turned out that, unbeknownst to us, the compressor seized up and caused the serpentine belt to break, which disabled the water pump. It ruined the damaged the radiator and warped the head gasket. We were 2 1/2 hours from home! …”

“Takata recall. I took my Honda crv to the dealership last week to have the airbags replaced due to the recall. Now my air conditioning went out. I took it back to the dealership to have them fix the issue, but they told me the problem was unrelated. They said the compressor locked up. I have never had any issues with the air conditioning until after I took it in. Too coincidental. After doing some online research it apears many other people have had the same problem in which Honda does not cover the cost. People are paying roughly $1000 to replace their compressors. …”

“After starting the car I put my foot on the brake pedal, took off the emergency brake, and put the car into drive. My foot was still on the brake, but the car took off at a high speed as if I had floored the gas pedal, and would not stop with my foot still on the brake pedal. I threw the gear into park and turned off the ignition. This same thing happened to me in september 2009 while I was driving on the long island expressway. At that time the brake would not stop the car, so I put the car in neutral and pulled off the road, put the car in park and turned off the ignition. …”

“I stopped at a gas station and got gas. I turned off the air conditioning before turning off the engine, as always. Got in and started the car, turned on the A/C, and it blew hot air. I kept trying it all the way home and nothing but hot air. The next day I noticed a ticking sound under the hood when it was idling. Mid summer, but no money to bring it in. One month later the ticking under the hood got progressively worse so I took it in for a free A/C check. Turns out the whole A/C system needs to be replaced (estimate $1000) compressor w/clutch, orifice tube, receiver/dryer, and re-charge. …”
