IN MARCH 2012, HONDA FILED A DEFECT REPORT TO RECALL CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2002 THROUGH 2004 CR-V AND CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2003 PILOT VEHICLES. IN AUGUST 2012, HONDA INFORMED THE AGENCY THAT IT WAS INCLUDING AN ADDITIONAL 820,789 VEHICLES INCLUDING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2004 AND 2005 PILOTS AND MODEL YEAR 2002 AND 2003 CIVICS. THE TOTAL NUMBER OF VEHICLES BEING RECALLED IS NOW 1,375,217. DUE TO TENSION FROM THE COMBINATION SWITCH WIRING HARNESS, WEAR ON THE SURFACE OF THE ELECTRICAL TERMINAL CAN OCCUR, YIELDING COPPER OXIDE, WHICH INCREASES ELECTRICAL RESISTANCE. INCREASED ELECTRICAL RESISTANCE MAY CAUSE THE TERMINAL ENDS TO MELT WITHIN THE WIRING HARNESS CONNECTOR.

WE WERE LEAVING A PARKING LOT WHEN WE HAD TO PULL OVER AND GET OUT OF THE CAR. A VERY STRONG ELECTRIC SMELL AND SMOKE WAS COMING FROM DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW AREA. WE WERE ALL OUTSIDE THE CAR ON A VERY BUSY CITY STREET BECAUSE OF THIS INCIDENT. AFTER A WHILE THE SMOKE CLEARED AND I WENT BACK INTO THE VEHICLE TO SEE IF IT WOULD FUNCTION. THE REAR WINDOWS WERE NO LONGER FUNCTIONING. HAD A FRIEND TAKE THE FAMILY HOME AND DROVE THE CAR MYSELF HOME AND PARKED IT AWAY FROM THE HOUSE. LOOKED IT UP ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND THAT A RECALL FOR THE DRIVERS SIDE POWER WINDOW SWITCH ( 12V486000 10/05/2012 2002 TO 2005 CRV )WAS MADE INCLUDING 2004 CRV MODELS FOR THIS VERY ISSUE. CONTACTED HONDA SUPPORT TO FIND OUT WHY WE WERE NOT NOTIFIED. ACCORDING TO HONDA SUPPORT, OUR MODEL IS NOT COVERED BECAUSE WE HAVE A DIFFERENT VIN THAN THE SAME YEAR MODELS THAT WERE RECALLED FOR THE VERY SAME ISSUE. THIS IS A SERIOUS DRIVING AND FIRE HAZZARD!. I AM VERY DISSAPOINTED THIS IS NOT SOMETHING THEY TAKE SERIOUS. WE ARE ORIGINAL OWNERS AND HAVE NEVER RECEIVED NOTICE OF THIS ISSUE. THEY SAY IT IS MY EXPENSE BECAUSE MY VIN IS NOT ONE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL FOR THIS VERY SAME ISSUE OF THE VERY SAME YEAR AND MODEL. HAD TO PAY THOUSANDS FOR OUR AIR CONDITIONER TO BE COMPLETELY REPLACED SHORTLY AFTER WE BOUGHT THE CAR BECAUSE OF A LATER RECALLED ISSUE WITH IT THAT ALSO WAS NOT COVERED AT THE TIME. USED TO BE HONDA BELIEVERS, BUT THIS KIND OF TREATMENT IS NOT SITTING WELL.

I ALONG WITH OTHER HONDA CRV USERS ARE LOOKING TO FILE A COMPLAINT TO HAVE A POSSIBLE RECALL ISSUED TO HONDA. I HAVE TRIED CONTACTING CORPORATE AND THEY ACT LIKE THEY'VE NEVER HEARD OF THE ISSUE. THE ISSUE IS THE FACT THAT THE AIR COMPRESSOR FOUND ON THE CR-V HAS THE ISSUE OF 'IMPLODING'; THE INTERNALS COMPLETELY SHATTERING, FORCING DEBRIS THROUGHOUT YOUR AC SYSTEM, PLAGUING ALL OF THE ASSOCIATED COMPONENTS AND CAUSING THE COMPRESSOR TO SEIZE OR 'LOCK UP'. THIS DEBRIS WILL FIND ITSELF LODGED IN THESE PARTS AND A SIMPLE FLUSH JUST WON'T DO. REPLACING ONLY THE AC COMPRESSOR AND DRIER IS NOT SUFFICIENT ENOUGH TO HAVE RELIABLE AC ONCE AGAIN. I AM JUST TO THE POINT OF EVEN SCARED TO DRIVE MY CAR ANYMORE AND HONDA WILL NOT HELP WITH THE ISSUE. EVEN DOING A SIMPLE GOOGLE SEARCH OF HONDA CRV COMPRESSOR FAILURE YOU ILL FIND HUNDREDS OF ARTICLES STATING THERE IS AN ISSUE OF CRV'S FROM 2002-2006. I FEEL AS IF SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE. EVEN IF THEY JUST ADD A SHIELD FROM THE COMPRESSOR TO THE ENGINE. PLEASE HELP IF YOU CAN; EVEN IF YOU COULD JUST INVESTIGATE IT. THANK YOU SO MUCH IN ADVANCE
