2016 Honda Civic

A/C BLOWING WARM AIR ON DRIVER SIDE AND GETTING GRADUALLY COOLER TOWARDS PASSENGER SIDE. REPLACED CONDENSER 13 MONTHS AGO AND PAID OUT OF POCKET AS THIS WAS BEFORE EXTENDED WARRANTY. TOOK CAR TO DEALERSHIP THIS TIME AND THEY CHARGED $80 FOR DIAGNOSIS TO SAY IT NEEDS A NEW HOSE WHICH WOULD COST $875. TOOK IT FOR SECOND OPINION, WAS TOLD THAT HOSE WAS FINE BUT NEEDED NEW VALVE BUT THEY DID NOT HAVE THE FREON EQUIPMENT. WENT TO NEW PLACE THAT HAD RIGHT EQUIPMENT AND THEY ARE SAYING IT'S THE EVAPORATOR AND GOING TO BE $1300. NOW I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IS ACTUALLY WRONG ALL I KNOW IS THE CAR IS 3.5 YEARS OLD AND THE AC SHOULD NOT HAVE BROKEN.

I BOUGHT MY 2016 HONDA CIVIC NEW AND EVERY YEAR DURING THE SUMMER I EXPERIENCE ISSUES WITH THE A/C NOT WORKING PROPERLY. THIS SUMMER SINCE IT'S NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY, I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC TO SEE IF HE COULD FIGURE OUT WHA THE HONDA DEALERS NEVER COULD WHILE MY CAR WAS UNDER WARRANTY. IT'S BLOWING HOT AIR. HE QUICKLY UNCOVERED I HAVE A LEAK AND THAT IT'S AN ISSUE WITH THE CONDENSER. HE DID A QUICK CHECK AND INFORMED ME THAT HONDA HAD A RECALL ON THIS COMPONENT AND TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALER. I JUST GOT OFF THE PHONE WITH THE DEALER WHO EXPLAINED THAT MY CAR IS NOT COVERED IN SAID RECALL. EVEN THOUGH IT'S A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE MODEL AND YEAR I OWN, HONDA IS REFUSING TO COVER IT. AGAIN, MY A/C HAS BEEN ON ONGOING ISSUE SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR AND I'VE ALWAYS STRUGGLED TO HAVE HONDA FIX IT. THEY DID CHANGE OUT THE COMPRESSOR LAST YEAR WHICH STOPPED MY VENTS FROM SMOKING BUT SURE AS CAN BE, AS IT DOES EVERY YEAR, IT'S BLOWING HOT AIR AGAIN.

IN 2018, I PURCHASED A USED 2016 HONDA CIVIC AND SEVERAL MONTHS LATER WHEN THE HOT WEATHER SET IN, WE DISCOVERED THE AC IS NOT WORKING. TOOK INTO HONDA DEALER AND THEY TOLD US THE AC COMPRESSOR WAS LEAKING AND IT WOULD COST $2000. I HAD IT FIXED WHEN I WAS ABLE TO SAVE ENOUGH MONEY. NOW A YEAR AFTER I FIXED IT, MY AC COMPRESSOR AND MY AC CONDENSOR ARE BOTH LEAKING. I PURCHASED A HONDA FOR RELIABILITY BUT ITS BEEN A HORRIBLE AND EXPENSIVE EXPERIENCE. HONDA WILL ONLY REPLACE THE CONDENSOR DUE TO RECALL BUT I CAN'T FIX IT WITHOUT FIXING THE COMPRESSOR AS WELL. I CALLED AMERICAN HONDA BUT THEY WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.

I TOOK MY 2016 HONDA CIVIC TO THE DEALER AFTER THE AIR CONDITIONING STOPPED WORKING IN JUNE OF 2020 TO HAVE IT INSPECTED FOR A LEAKING A/C CONDENSER, WHICH WAS COVERED UNDER AN EXTENDED WARRANTY PER A LETTER I RECEIVED IN NOVEMBER OF 2019. THE DEALER INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND FOUND THE CONDENSER IS LEAKING AND WOULD BE COVERED, BUT ALSO STATED THE COMPRESSOR IS LEAKING AND THE REPAIR WOULD COST $1583.00. WHEN I ASKED IF A LEAKING CONDENSER COULD CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE COMPRESSOR THEY SAID THEY WEREN'T SURE. I THEN ASKED IF THEY WERE SEEING A NUMBER OF CONDENSER AND COMPRESSOR FAILURES AT THE SAME TIME AND THEY SAID YES. THERE HAVE BEEN A NUMBER OF CUSTOMERS WITH SIMULTANEOUS LEAKS IN THEIR CONDENSERS AND COMPRESSORS. I BELIEVE THESE NEED TO BE INVESTIGATED AND HONDA SHOULD EXTEND THE WARRANTY ON BOTH

2016 HONDA CIVIC. PROBLEM WITH AIR CONDITIONING BLOWING HOT AIR BOTH WHEN VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND STATIONARY. I TOOK TO THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD BOTH CONDENSER AND COMPRESSOR HAD LEAKS. CONDENSER IS COVERED UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY BUT THE COMPRESSOR WAS NOT COSTING IN EXCESS OF $1100 TO REPAIR. WAS INFORMED BY DEALERSHIP THEY ARE RECEIVING 3-4 VEHICLES PER WEEK WITH THIS ISSUE. IT IS CLEARLY A DEFECT IN THE MANUFACTURE OF THE VEHICLE. *TR
