Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, MY 2003 HONDA CRV STARTING MAKING A LOUD WHINING NOISE IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND THEN IT SOUNDED LIKE A METAL PART FELL OFF THE CAR. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND FOUND THAT EVERYTHING WAS RUNNING FINE EXCEPT THE AIR CONDITIONER. THERE WAS STILL FREON IN THE SYSTEM, BUT I LATER FOUND OUT THAT THE COMPRESSOR WAS RUINED. OUR CAR ONLY HAD 48,000 MILES WHEN THIS HAPPENED. A REBUILT COMPRESSOR FOR THIS CAR IS NOT AVAILABLE ANYWHERE BECAUSE THE OLD COMPRESSORS ARE NOT REBUILDABLE. THE BILL FOR THIS FAILURE WAS OVER $1,700.00. *NM
