THERE WAS A LOUD BANGING SOUND AND THE AIR CONDITIONER, WHICH WAS ON AND WORKING GREAT, STOPPED BLOWING COLD AIR. I RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM AND FOUND THAT THIS HAS BEEN VERY COMMON ON HONDA CR-VS. FROM MY EXPERIENCE AND THE FOUR DIFFERENT FAILURE MODES THAT HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED, IT SOUNDS LIKE THE AC COMPRESSOR EXPLODED OR IMPLODED AND COULD HAVE LEFT SHARDS OF METAL ON THE HIGHWAY I WAS DRIVING ON. TWO OTHER FAILURE MODES OF THIS PROBLEM INCLUDE THE CLUTCH AXLE SHAFT SHEARING AND THE CLUTCH ITSELF MELTING. HERE ARE THE RIDICULOUSLY HIGH NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS THAT I'VE FOUND WITHIN 15 MINUTES OF RESEARCHING: 1. HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=FLDX1WVJQSC 2. HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=Q4AJBLXNH2E 3.

I WAS IN A PARKING LOT AND WANTED TO MOVE TO ANOTHER ONE. I PUT CAR IN GEAR AND AS I STARTED OUT I HEARD THE ENGINE REV VERY LOUD AND CAR LURCHED FORWARD. I APPLIED BRAKES AND PLACED THE CAR IN PARK. ENGINE WAS STILL REVVING HIGH. I TURNED OFF ENGINE AND THEN BACK ON AGAIN. CAR SEEMED TO BEHAVE NORMALLY AND I DROVE HOME (ABOUT 1 MILE). I CALLED A HONDA DEALER SERVICE NUMBER AND EXPLAINED WHAT HAPPENED. THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO CALL BACK BUT DID NOT. THE NEXT DAY I CALLED THE SERVICE AT ANOTHER DEALER (DCH HONDA OF PARAMUS). I SPOKE TO AN [XXX] WHO TOLD ME THERE WERE NO RECALLS FOR UNINTENDED ACCELERATION FOR ANY 2008 CRV'S. I WROTE AN E-MAIL TO HER TO DOCUMENT THE PHONE CONVERSATION THEN CALLED ANOTHER INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
