Some Honda CR-V owners report experiencing issues with their air conditioner blowing hot air while idling, which may be attributed to a dirty evaporator that accumulates dirt and particles, leading to reduced airflow and poor cooling performance. Additionally, refrigerant leakage is a common problem that can cause the AC system to malfunction and emit warm air. Owners may need to check for leaks in the evaporator core to diagnose the underlying cause of the AC system's poor performance, which could involve inspecting for leaks and ensuring proper refrigerant levels. If a leak is found, a recharge or replacement of the refrigerant may be necessary to restore the system's cooling efficiency. Regular maintenance and timely repairs are crucial for ensuring that the Honda CR-V's AC system operates optimally, providing cool air during both idle and driving situations.
