  In 2017, there was an issue with the Honda CRV where the air conditioning did not blow cold air due to a problem with the A/C compressor seizing up.

  I had a similar problem with my 2017 Honda CRV when it reached around 45,000 miles. I started hearing high-pitched noises from under the hood, and then the air conditioning stopped blowing cold air. The dealership found that the discharge hose was leaking oil and the front seal of the AC compressor was also faulty, requiring a $2,100 replacement of the compressor. Shortly after, a new sound started when the AC was turned on, which disappeared when the AC was turned off. The dealership diagnosed it as a faulty fan motor, but an independent mechanic suggested it might be the thermal expansion valve or evaporator. I returned to the dealership for further inspection. I'm fed up with all these issues. I'm considering selling the car once it's fixed.

  In 2017, my Honda CRV with only 10,000 miles on it had its air conditioning fail. The dealer informed me that the issue was a faulty lower AC hose and estimated the repair cost to be over $1,000.

  In 2017, my Honda CRV has only accumulated 30,570 miles as I've been mostly teleworking during the pandemic. Unfortunately, the air conditioning system stopped functioning just three months after the warranty ended in February 2022. The dealership informed me that I require a new compressor, which will cost $2318 for parts and labor, in addition to the $479 I had to pay for the evacuation and recharge service. Moreover, newer Honda models from 2016 onwards utilize a specialized machine for this process, making it challenging for many independent mechanics to handle the repair.

  I recently received a technical notification from Honda about a compressor leak issue. I had noticed that our air conditioning was blowing warm air just a week before. When I took the car to the dealership, they informed me that if the faulty part was not the cause of the recurring problem, I would be responsible for the cost of replacing the coolant and the repair. Luckily, it turned out that the failing part was indeed the reason for the A/C failure, so it was covered. Additionally, they discovered another failed hose, which initially was not covered, but we later found out that it is covered under our extended warranty. The entire issue is being repaired now. The concerning part is when I searched for 'Honda CRV A/C Black Death,' it seems that once a failure occurs, sludge and shrapnel can travel through the system and lead to catastrophic failure over time. In my opinion, since the problem starts with the faulty part that Honda is taking responsibility for, the damages caused by that part should also be covered – even if it means replacing the entire A/C system. I came across information mentioning that some settlements involve receiving compensation equal to the lost value of the vehicle or the value it would have without the issue, which could be used towards a new vehicle. Honda is now providing (possibly obligated to provide) coverage for ten years post-purchase without any mileage restrictions. Furthermore, there are possibilities of reimbursement if you have already paid for repairs out of pocket, and you don't necessarily have to be the original owner to qualify for reimbursement or repair coverage. I hope this information proves useful to everyone dealing with similar issues. Best of luck to all.

  Tomorrow, my 2017 CRV will undergo diagnosis because the fan is blowing warm air. The warranty for the air compressor has been extended. I will share the results afterward. If they don't fix it for free, I will consider trading it in at a different manufacturer, possibly Toyota.

  here is a paraphrased and rephrased version:
  
  "I have a 2017 Honda CRV with 41000 miles on it. The air conditioning is now blowing hot air. I got a recall notice in the mail for a leaking AC joint, which the dealer will fix. However, they claim there may also be a hose leak and refuse to do the recall repair without replacing that hose, costing $1000. Seems like a rip-off!

  In the videos for the 2017 and newer Honda CRV, they did not mention the new charging cable they use, designated as 1234YJ. It's advisable not to bother with the 134 version. When attempting to connect the older style connector to the Low side, I found it wouldn't fit, so I recommend looking into the costly new cable and coolant. The driver-side vents were blowing out warm air while the passenger-side remained only cool. After connecting the new cable and turning the knob to charge the system, the drivers side still didn't cool as well as the passengers side did.

  I had to have our compressor replaced this year, and it happened after only owning the device for four years. It cost $2500 in Canadian dollars, and I was not satisfied with that experience.

  My 2017 Honda CRV's air conditioning is only blowing hot air. The dealership determined that the compressor is leaking after running diagnostic tests.
