What Owners Say
"Compressor stopped working and had to be replaced"
Anonymous, MD (2006 Honda Pilot EX-L 3.5-L V6)"After driving, on a trip , for approximately 90 minutes, the A/C will quit blowing cool/cold air. The A/C has to be turned off for about 30 minutes and usually it will operate fine for another 90 to 120 minutes. this problem most frequently occurs when the outside temperature is above 85 degrees. The mechanic has advised that the compressor needs to be replaced for an estimated cost of $1,500.00"
