  Dependable Car but short-lived AC - 2004 Honda CR-V
  By Yam - August 4 - 12:12 am

  I have my CR-V now for almost 4 years and Im happy with it. But just 3 days ago, the AC system gave up at 49,000 miles. Mechanic told me to take it to the dealership because hed seen at least 4 Hondas with the same problem. The dealership, after contacting Honda, decided to charge me just $160 to change the whole AC system as they realized that this thing has been becoming too common for 3 to 4 yr. old CR-Vs. If ever your CR-V AC gives up on you, contact the dealership before shelling out thousands of dollars at private auto shops. Big chance they will cover it for you even if your car is passed the warranty period.

  A C problem after only 36,000 miles - 2004 Honda CR-V
  By Martha Christensen - July 26 - 2:04 pm

  My whole ac unit in my cr-v crystallized after only 4 years old and only 36,000 miles. If I would not have had extended warranty on this car I would have to have paid $4,000.00 to fix it! This is terrible.The mechanic that fixed it said all honda cr-sv do this after 35,000- 45,0000 miles! This is terrible! I am not a happy Honda owner now! Martha Christensen

  Beware of Air Compressor - 2004 Honda CR-V
  By fored - July 16 - 4:56 pm

  Yes, the air conditioning unit will fail abruptly. Just my luck it blew out in mid-July in CA. I took it to the family mechanic who said this was the 4th CR-V hes seen recently with this exact problem. Bottom line-you can get a new compressor for $250-$800 (depending where you get it), but its the WHOLE UNIT that needs to be repaired. After so many complaints, Honda still does not have a recall on it. I can go with mechanic who will charge me $1,300. Others that have gone to dealer pay about $3,000. I called my dealer and was told theyd try their best "to take care of it" for me with "no additional cost." Well see after I take it in. Brakes have also been repaired a couple times.

  Great Small SUV - 2004 Honda CR-V
  By MDCLA - July 12 - 10:00 am

  Love my CR-V. I wouldnt have any other vehicle. I can haul around lots of product for my job, can fit four other adults in the car with me (comfortably), and have had a friend as tall as 6 7" say he was comfortable in the front passenger seat. Its fun to drive, looks great and pretty good on gas (when Im running the AC a lot I get about 20 MPG on average, as high as 28 when I dont need the AC at all.)

  Great SUV - 2004 Honda CR-V
  By Brian D. - July 2 - 8:09 pm

  The vehicle has been all that I expected and more. I am not one of the morons who buy a car thinking that I will never have a problem. The few issues that I had were either diagnosed as normal or fixed under the warranty. The CR-V is a pleasure to own and drive. It handles well and is good on gas. I am 6-3" and fit in the car well. The interior is well designed (except the silly gear shift lever) and comfortable. The sound system is great. The sun roof is a great feature, never a leak. The fold down tray between the front seats is very handy. There is great small item storage. Mechanically, it is a solid car. Take care of it and it will run and run and ...

  Good choice! - 2004 Honda CR-V
  By bshannon - June 10 - 10:59 pm

  This suv is fun to drive, has plenty of room. Its a bit noisy, but way less than any truck Ive owned. Bought it with the miles of 2006 (as an 04 in 2008), and am very happy with it.

  Great SUV - 2004 Honda CR-V
  By Shari - June 10 - 2:00 am

  This is our first SUV and we love it. Test drove the Jeep Liberty and this was by far the better. Its fun to drive and looks great. The cargo room is really impressive and I love the fold down tray so I can put my pocketbook there when there is someone in the passenger seat. I also love the gear shift up on the dashboard. Ive always liked by cars and this has that feel.

  OIL SENSORS - 2004 Honda CR-V
  By SOUP FAMILY - May 28 - 8:23 pm

  We are very disappointed in our CR-V. It is our first Honda. Even with perfect maintenance, we have had two oil sensors go out which causes the engine to choke. We were traveling at 70 mph the second time and were almost hit. We have had to replace the cam shafts also which is very unusual. At 65000 miles, our air conditioner blew a whole in the condenser. As you can see, we feel ours was built on a Friday at 3:00 p.m.!

  Love the Car, Hate American Honda - 2004 Honda CR-V
  By Carrie - May 21 - 3:20 pm

  Bought this car brand new in 2004. Have loved it ever since. Live in MI so more cold than warmth. Great car for the snow.AC just blew up on the road in the middle of Nov07. Wasnt even being used.Car has 104,000 miles on it. Called Honda after researching and finding out this a well known problem w/ the Air Compressors. Honda said because the dealer found clutch in April of 08 Rusted out in my bumper my car must have been in a collision. HELLO! Salt, SNOW.Yeah it rusted. No GOODWILL WARRANTY FOR ME. I have never had a single warranty claim and Honda cant help me out. Car has NEVER been in an accident. If I lived in Florida this would have happened a lot sooner. Will not buy a Honda again!
