2004 HONDA CR-V User Comment / Complaint

My family and i were coming back from vacation from florida, when all of a sudden there was a loud noise and sounded like something fell out of my car. as we were driving we noticed that the air wasn't cooling like it should be. so for the next 2 hours we had to drive without any air in 100 degree heat. i took it in the next day to get it looked at and they said the whole air compressor completely fell apart and fell out of the car and ruined the air conditioner so that the whole thing would have to be replaced. about $2500 to replace, so i called american honda corp and had to haggle with them for over a week so that i would have to only pay $600.
