2004 Honda CR-V LX review from North America
"I would never recommend this car because of the A/C problems"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The A/C condenser blew up, and now the whole A/C system has to be replaced.
General comments?
Honda has never been able to build a great A/C system, but on this car they really messed up.
When the condenser locks up it will explode sending metal shavings through out the system, so you not only have to replace a $300 condenser, but the entire system has to be worked on, for a cost of around $2700.00.
