The vsa and check engine light will frequently come on and then if I take the vehicle over 2500 rpms I will lose power and the engine will stutter. This happens in anytime the vehicle is in motion, whether it's city streets or highway

On a 200 mile trip the air conditioner/ compressor locked up. I had just completed the 100,000 mile scheduled service which included the drive belt replacement. I was able to drive the vehicle back home as long as I didn't attempt to use the A/C or defroster. Obviously honda has a problem with the compressors they are using in there vehicles. Hopefully dot will investigate the faulty equipment. My sister in law has also replaced two compressors in her 2006 honda crv at lower mileage intervals. No more hondas for me!

My air conditioner compressor went out. The air conditioner was blowing warm air not cool or cold at all. I took it into honda dealer... It will cost me $900 to replace it. I am not to use it at all because it might implode or explode... I was called by the honda sales dept when I got home... I told him that I was on a fixed income and could not afford to buy a new car. (retired). So no matter what they said was wrong with my car , I cannot afford to buy another one. Then I looked online and saw where there was a lawsuit for the honda crvs 2002 - 2004 because of this problem. And many other crv years had the same problem! Not just the 2002 -2004s. Why didn't honda recall all of the air compressors... My car is only 7 yrs old. I just thought it was my bad luck at first until I went online and saw all the complaints reg the compressors! Can something be done to help us out? This is dangerous. I cannot even use the fan for air flow until it is fixed... I don't want it imploding or exploding! Help
