A/C CLUTCH AND COIL IS POORLY DESIGNED. IN THE 2002-2009 HONDA CR-V THERE'S NO HEAD SHIELD OR HOUSING. CONSEQUENTLY, WILL DISINTEGRATE THE COMPRESSOR OF THE A/C SYSTEM. IN ADDITION, WHEN THE A/C CLUTCH EXPLODES IT WILL SHOOT SHRAPNEL OR PIECES OF METAL. AGAIN BECAUSE OF THE POOR DESIGN IT'S A MATTER OF WHEN NOT IF THIS PART WILL BREAK OR MALFUNCTION WILL MAY CAUSE SOMEONE BODILY HARM. A SERVICE BULLETIN WAS ISSUED BY HONDA: SERVICE ADVISORY/SERVICE BULLETIN #12-072. HOWEVER, THIS WAS NOT A RECALL, AND IN ORDER FOR THE A/C COMPRESSOR CLUTCH AND COIL TO BE REPLACE IN NEEDS TO BE FAULTY, AND IF YOUR VEHICLE HAS PAST THE EXTENDED WARRANTY PERIOD HONDA OF NORTH AMERICA REFUSES TO COVER OR CHANGE THIS PART. THE OWNER THEN MUST PAY A HONDA DEALER TO CHECK THE CAR, THIS WILL COST $150.

MY REAR PASSENGER LOCK WAS MAKING A STRANGE SOUND AT TIMES, SIMILAR TO THE SOUND OF THE RECALLED DOOR LOCKS TO THE FRONT DOOR LOCKS. ARRIVING TO MY PARKED CAR, THE UNLOCK FAILED WITH THE KEYLESS ENTRY TO MY BACK PASSENGER DOOR (THE OTHER PASSENGER DOORS UNLOCKED). I TRIED TO USE THE BUTTON INSIDE THE FRONT DOOR TO UNLOCK IT, NO LUCK. THEN I TRIED TO MANUALLY UNLOCK AND IT WAS STUCK IN LOCK POSITION. THIS WAS THE SCARIEST AS I HAVE CHILDREN AND IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT I AM AFRAID WE WILL BE TRAPPED INSIDE CAR. LATER I DISCOVERED THE TRUNK WAS NOT OPENING EITHER. THE THREE OTHER DOORS/LOCKS WERE STILL FUNCTIONAL. IT BEGAN WORKING AGAIN A COUPLE DAYS LATER, BUT SOUNDS OFF AND MY CALL TO HONDA SERVICE CENTER HAS NOT BEEN RETURNED. I FEEL THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL AS THEY ALREADY RECALLED THE FRONT LOCKS FOR THE SAME ISSUE AND IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN.

TAKATA RECALL. I AM COMPLAINING ABOUT THE WAY HONDA HAS HANDLED MY PASSENGER AIRBAG RECALL. THE DRIVER SIDE RECALL THEY HANDLED PROMPTLY. BUT AS FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE: I HAVE BEEN CALLING HONDA HEADQUARTERS FOR 6 WEEKS TO TRY TO GET SOMEONE TO AUTHORIZE A RENTAL. OUR FAMILY IS TOO LARGE TO SQUEEZE INTO THE BACK SEAT, WHAT WITH TRANSPORTING CHILDREN TO SPORTS PRACTICE AND SCHOOL. I HAVE BEEN CALLING HONDA SINCE THE THIRD WEEK OF JULY, SO FAR I HAVE YET TO SPEAK TO A MANAGER. I BELIEVE HONDA HAS FAILED TO REMEDY THE DEFECT WITHIN A REASONABLE PERIOD OF TIME.
