| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I was involved in a minor collision and the amount of damage to the total damage to my 2007 honda cr-v was well over $8,000. i was rear ended by someone and pushed into the car in front of me. there was no damage at all to the car i was pushed into and only minor damage to the car that rear-ended me. the rear end damage to my car was over $3,000 and the front end damage to my car was over $5,000. this was a very low speed collision on a local street and even the collision shop manager was stunned at the amount of damage to the car, especially the front end. the compressor of the air conditioner was damaged beyond repair by this minor collision and had to be replaced. my auto insurance had to pay for this. the collision shop manager said he'd never seen anything quite like that - he asked me if this was a high speed collision (it was not), then asked me if the car i was pushed into had a trailer hitch sticking out (it had nothing sticking out). i now am reading numerous consumer complaints by people about the air conditioner compressor in this car in which the dealer stated that the compressor was damaged by a "pebble" from the road. based on these complaints and my own experience, i can only conclude that there is a serious defect in the manufacture of the 2007 honda cr-v's air conditioner compressor, causing the consumers to have to endure huge costs to replace this compressor because of such minor things as pebbles striking the part and low speed minor fender benders!!! *tr |
