Re: Hello from edac
Got mine in January 2016, was about $11,000 out the door. couple of scratches.60,000 miles
It just got a failed a/c compressor clutch. Was under warranty until dec. 2016, or 100,000 miles. Dealer and Honda of America said I'm sorry, $1500 to repair.
Waiting for a clutch off ebay to come on Wednesday. Honda says 1 hour book time to replace, hope to get it done in a couple of hours.
These V's also have a service bulletin on oil consumption. Keep an eye on your oil level.
Having had this V for 18 months, 12 of which were under warranty, I am extremely upset with "Honda of Lisle' in Illinois, and Honda of america in there lack of co operation in repairing the a/c. These are not the Honda's we grew up with. Corporate has really taken the reliability out of them in the name of profits. My V was in the dealership 4 times before the A/C clutch went out, and the 182 point certified preowned check list has "Check the a/c compressor" on it , but they said they only check the poorly designed clutch if it fails. Service bulletin 12-072 came out in 2012, and was revised in 2014. it includes 07-11 CRV's.
This will be my last Honda. as I have had true customer service from Isuzu, Toyota, Saab, and even G.M.
Good luck with your purchase.

Re: Hello from edac
Changed out the clutch and coil yesterday, took almost 3 hrs.
spent too much time trying to get my ring pliers on the coil retaining ring, till I went and got the correct tool. The pully came off pretty easily with my 2 jaw puller, spun it off by hand, didn't use a wrench. I'd say the toughest part was blindly reconnecting the ground wire back on the top of the compressor.
$100 ebay clutch, and a couple of hours sure beat the $1500 quote from the "Honda of Lisle" stealership!
