Problem overview

Some Honda CR-V owners report experiencing recurring air compressor failures despite multiple replacements, often due to refrigerant leakage in hoses, seals, or connections within the air conditioning system. Additionally, issues with faulty components, such as a blower motor or low refrigerant levels, can lead to intermittent air conditioning problems. Some owners have also reported compressor seizure, resulting in a loss of cold air from the vents, which is a common cause of AC failure. Routine diagnostics are crucial for identifying these problems early, as proper diagnosis can help address the root causes of the recurring failures. It is recommended that owners conduct thorough inspections and regular maintenance to prevent future compressor issues and ensure the efficient operation of their vehicle's air conditioning system.
