THE AIR CONDITIONING STOPPED WORKING ON OUR 2016 HONDA CIVIC IN EARLY SUMMER OF 2020. WE WERE TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT IT WAS THE COMPRESSOR AND WOULD COST IN EXCESS OF $2000.00 TO FIX. WE OPTED OUT OF THE REPAIR AT THAT TIME. I HAVE SINCE DISCOVERED THAT HONDA HAS NOW EXTENDED THE WARRANTY FOR 10 YEARS.

2016 CIVIC WITH 23500 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. THE A/C COMPRESSOR HAS FAILED AND BLEW SMOKE INTO THE CABIN OF THE CAR. THERE IS AN EXTENDED REPLACEMENT WARRANTY FOR THE CONDENSER DUE TO KNOWN DEFECTS IN THE PART, BUT THE COMPRESSOR IS NOT COVERED THOUGH IT TOO IS FAILING AT AN ABNORMAL RATE FOR MANY OWNERS.

TRANSMISSION FILL PLUG CAME OUT AND LEAKED FLUID ALL OVER MY TRANSMISSION. THE FLUID WAS CHANGED AT MY LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO. ONLY NOTICED WHILE I WAS CHANGING MY OIL ON 9/6/2020. I HAVE NO IDEA TO WHEN THE PLUG CAME OUT AND STARTED LEAKING. I LOOKED IT UP IN ONLINE FORUMS AND IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM. I'M AFRAID IT WILL GET DIRT OR OTHER MATERIALS IN MY TRANSMISSION AND MESS IT UP. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO GET TO IT BY TAKING THE AIR-INTAKE OFF AND PUTTING THE PLUG BACK IN PLACE. WILL BE REPORTING THIS TO MY DEALERSHIP AS WELL.

AIR CONDITIONING CONDENSER WAS REPLACED UNDER RECALL JAN. 2019. AC STOPPED WORKING BY JUNE, 2020. CONDENSER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AGAIN, BUT WAS ON BACK-ORDER. OVER 5 WEEKS LATER, CONDENSER WAS REPLACED IN AUGUST 2020, BUT DEALER REPORTED COMPRESSOR WAS LEAKING AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, FOR ABOUT $1,200. HONDA REFUSES TO COVER MORE THAN 30% OF THAT COST, ACCORDING TO BOTH A REGIONAL REPRESENTATIVE AND A HONDA OF AMERICA REPRESENTATIVE. THE COMPRESSOR IS ON BACK-ORDER, INDICATING THAT A HIGH NUMBER OF COMPRESSORS ARE FAILING. ALL THE ABOVE WORK AND DIAGNOSIS WERE PERFORMED BY HONDA DEALER THE AUTOMASTER, SHELBURNE, VT. THE CAR HAS UNDER 33,000 MILES AND IS LESS THAN 4 YEARS OLD. I'M THE ORIGINAL OWNER. THERE APPEARS TO BE A CLASS ACTION FOR THIS ISSUE, INITIATED IN CALIFORNIA, CASE 2:19-CV-10537, FILED DEC. 2019, US DISTRICT COURT FOR CENTRAL DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA. HAVING NO AC IS A SAFETY ISSUE IN AT LEAST TWO WAYS: IT'S DANGEROUS TO DRIVE IN A HOT CAR, AND A FOGGED WINDSHIELD OBSTRUCTING DRIVER'S VISION CAN'T BE CLEARED WITHOUT AC. HONDA SHOULD COVER THE FULL COST OF CORRECTING THESE SAFETY ISSUES.

THE CAR'S AIR COMPRESSOR WENT OUT. I HAVE TO PAY $1400 TO FIX. I HAVE SEEN THE PART BE ON BACK ORDER FOR MANY PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. MY CAR IS A 2016 HONDA CIVIC, (ONLY 4 YEARS OLD). I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE A RECALLED PART SINCE THE CONDENSER IS ALREADY RECALLED AND MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM.
