Consumer Description

WITHIN THE PAST YEAR I HAVE HAD BOTH FANS GO OUT BECAUSE THE ENTIRE SYSTEM WAS "CONTAMINATED." ALSO, THE FAN UNDER THE DASH (THE BLOWER) HAS QUIT AND I NEEDED A NEW RELAY SWITCH. THEY SPLIT THE COST OF THE TWO FANS IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT BUT THEY SAID THE FAN UNDER THE DASH WAS SEPARATE. ALTOGETHER IT COST ME OVER 1800 DOLLARS. NOW I FIND OUT THAT THERE HAVE BEEN 35 COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM IN THE 2003 CRV. I THINK IT IS A FACTORY PROBLEM AND THEY SHOULD HAVE A RECALL.....AND GIVE ME BACK SOME OF THAT MONEY. 35 COMPLAINTS?? ISN'T THAT ENOUGH TO SIGNAL A RECALL?? *TR
