2002 Honda CR-V review from North America

What things have gone wrong with the car?

I bought my 2002 Honda CRV brand new, and have had A/C problems every 2 years like clockwork. Luckily the Honda dealer has covered the cost of the repair each time, and each time until now it has been a problem concerning the compressor, and the compressor has had to be replaced.

My car has been to the dealer 4 times now, with the 4th time being a problem with the dealership's repair.

I promised myself I would sell this vehicle before another 2 years went by, and well here I am 2 years later and still own the vehicle...

New problem though still with the A/C... don't think it is the compressor this time... maybe the switch that turns on because it just quit working one day... the blower/fan just stopped coming on and doesn't work for anything.. not the A/C, heater or defroster.

I haven't called the dealer yet because this does not seem to be the same problem it has had in the past, but several weeks after this happened, it all of a sudden came on and started blowing cool air as if nothing went wrong, but that was short lived as it was not working again once the vehicle was turned off and restarted again... This has happened 2 times now that it has started blowing again and then stopped again.

After reading all of this, I am going to call the dealer on this problem as well, and hope that it is just the switch and not some sort of electrical short. Either way, I expect the dealer to cover the cost and to pay for a rental while it's in the shop.

I will update this once I get an answer from the dealer. This is the first Honda I have ever owned, and will not buy another one. Oh.. also looking like the oxygen sensor will need to be replaced as well.
