2008 HONDA CRV-COMPRESSOR NEEDS REPLACING 65,000 MILES AT THE TIME THE COMPRESSOR WENT OUT. HONDA WARRANTY ONLY COVERS 36,000 MILES. DID NOT BY EXTENDED WARRANTY. HAS NOT REPLACED PART DUE TO COST. HONDA PURCHASED AT PARIS HONDA HAS TALKED TO THEM HOWEVER, 1200 DOLLARS FOR A REBUILT COMPRESSOR TO BE INSTALLED AND MUCH HIGHER FOR A NEW ONE. THIS IS ROBBERY AND POORLY BUILT COMPRESSORS. IS IT ALRIGHT FROM THEM TO CHARGE SO MUCH MONEY FOR A VEHICLE WITH SORRY SERVICE AND PARTS?? IF THEY ARE HAVING SO MANY COMPRESSOR PROBLEMS WHY NOT RECALL THEM ALL AND FIX THE PROBLEM. I WILL NEVER BY ANOTHER HONDA AND WHEN ASKED I ADVICE ANY ONE TO STAY AWAY FROM THE AUTO BRAND. *TR

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME SINCE PURCHASING THE VEHICLE APRIL 2008 THAT I'VE STARTED THE VEHICLE AND THE ENGINE REVVED AT A HIGH IDLE SPEED LIKE I WAS FLOORING THE ACCELERATOR EXCEPT MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE.

AFTER DRIVING MY NEW HONDA CR-V FOR 4 WEEKS, 3 TO 4 TIMES A WEEK I BEGAN TO FEEL SICK. I EXPERIENCED SEVERE HEADACHES, NAUSEA, BURNING SENSATION IN MY SINUSES AND THROAT, OVER-ALL WEAKNESS. THIS CONTINUED FOR 5 WEEKS UNTIL I WAS SO SICK THAT I STAYED HOME IN BED FOR 3 DAYS IN MID MARCH. THEN WHEN I DROVE THE CAR AGAIN AFTER RETURNING TO WORK I AGAIN GOT VERY SICK AND IT WAS AT THAT POINT THAT I SUSPECTED THAT THE CAR WAS SOMEHOW THE CAUSE. I SAW MY GP DOCTOR, EXPLAINED MY SYMPTOMS AND HE CONFIRMED THAT THE CHEMICAL EMISSIONS COMING FROM THE NEW MATERIALS AND ADHESIVES IN THE INTERIOR OF THE CAR COULD BE THE CAUSE. AS LONG AS I DO NOT DRIVE THE CAR MORE THAN ONCE A WEEK AND DO SO WITH ALL OF THE WINDOWS OPEN I DO NOT GET SICK. I HAVE READ REPORTS THAT INDICATE THAT IT WILL TAKE 6-8 MONTHS BEFORE THE HARMFUL CHEMICAL LEVELS DROP TO ACCEPTABLE LEVELS. ALSO, THE REPORTS SAY THAT IF THE CAR IS PARKED IN THE SUN, THE HEAT INTENSIFIES THE TOXIC CHEMICAL LEVELS AND THAT THIS CAN LAST UP TO 3 YEARS. BECAUSE THIS HAS MADE ME SO VERY SICK I FELT THAT I SHOULD REPORT IT. *TR
