The most common 2017 Honda CR-V air conditioning problems usually result in either the vehicle not cooling, or there being no air flow throughout the cabin. Each of these will happen for a different reason and require replacing different parts. If Your vehicle has no cool air but the AC is blowing that is usually a sign of a freon loss. You will want to have the AC system inspected and make sure that Your freon levels are full and that there are no leaks. If Your AC is not blowing at all then that is usually a problem with the fan. There is a blower motor fan located behind Your dash and that is what moves the air throughout the cabin to keep You cool while You drive.

The 2017 honda crv has had a problem resulting in ac not blowing cold air which has been associated with an a/c compressor seize.

Same Issue. 2017 Honda CRV. When it hit around 45k miles, started having high pitch sounds coming from the hood and then the ac just started blowing not cool air. Took to the dealership and they said the discharge hose was leaking oil and also the front of AC compressor seal was bad and leaking out front of compressor. Had to have my compressor replaced for 2100$ out of pocket. Then 5 months later, a new blowing sound comes and go that will stop immediately when the AC gets turned off. Took back to the dealership and they said that the fan motor needs to be replaced. Took my car to an independent mechanic who said the sound was coming from the thermal expansion valve or evaporator. Took the car again to the dealership and they're taking a look at it again. I'm done with this car. Should I just sell it once it gets repaired?

My 2017 Honda CRV has 30,570 miles. Barely drive it because I telework since the pandemic started. AC stopped working 3 months after warranty expired (2/22/22). Dealer says I need a new compressor ($2318 parts and labor) plus I had to pay $479 to evacuate and recharge. The new Hondas since 2016 have this special machine to evacuate and recharge and many private mechanics don't have the machine to check it.

I received a technical 'advisory' from Honda alerting me to the problem with the compressor leak. I had just the week or so before found our a/c to be blowing warm air. So I went in to the dealer and they told me if they checked it and it was not the part that was repeatedly failing then I would have to pay for the replaced coolant and for the repair. Turns out the failing part IS the cause of the A/C failure so it is covered. Then they told me there is a hose that has failed as well and it is NOT covered but it turns out that hose IS covered under our extended warranty -- so the whole thing is being fixed. Now, here's the terrible part: google 'Honda CRV A/C Black Death'. Apparently once there has been a failure, there is sludge and shrapnel that travels through the system and causes catastrophic failure eventually. To my thinking the problem STARTS WITH THE FAULTY PART THAT THEY ARE ACCEPTING LIABILITY FOR so the damage that faulty part initiates ought to be covered too -- even if that solution is a whole new A/C system. I read somewhere else today that some settlements are cash in the amount of lost value of the vehicle or cash at the value it would be without the problem and that can be applied to a new vehicle etc. Etc. Anyway, the coverage Honda is now offering (required to offer?) is ten years post purchase and NO MILEAGE LIMIT. Also, I read that if the repairs have already been completed at your expense reimbursement is possible. AND you don't have to be the original owner to get reimbursed or covered for repair. Hope all this info is of value. Good luck to all.

2017 CRV 41000 miles. AC blowing hot air. Received a recall in the mail for leaking AC joint which the dealer will replace, but they said there is also a hose that MIGHT have a leak. Dealership said will not do the recall repair without replacing the hose that may or may not have a leak. (???) Costing $1000 to replace the hose. What a scam!

Something not covered in the Honda CRV videos, for 2017 and up, I presume, is that they use a new style charge and connection cable... A 1234YJ, I believe it is, so don't waste your time or money on the 134 version... I could not fit the older style connector onto the Low side, so if you see this then you better check out the expensive new cable and coolant. The driver-side ports were pumping out very warm air while the passenger-side was cool at best. I connected the new cable to the port and then the can, turned the knob, and almost immediately charged the system, although the drivers side still wasn't as cold as the passenger side.

Had to get our compressor replaced this year. Not 4 years into ownership. 2500 cad cost. Not impressed.
