2016 Honda Civic

PURCHASED CAR IN JULY 2016, SINGLE OWNER, TOOK THE CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP, CAPITAL HONDA IN OLYMPIA, WA ON 4/10/2020 DUE TO NO COOL AIR FORM AC SYSTEM, INFORMED THAT THE COMPRESSOR HAS OIL AND REFRIGERANT LEAKING FROM COMPRESSOR, THE COMPRESSOR IS REQUIRED TO BE REPLACED TO FIX. I HAVE NEVER HAD ANY SERVICE OR MAINTENANCE PERFORMED ON THE AC SYSTEM PRIOR TO VISIT ON 4/10/2020. I ELECTED TO NOT HAVE THE ESTIMATED $1800 REPAIR MADE AT THIS TIME. I WILL SCAN AND SEND IN THE REPAIR ESTIMATE IF REQUIRED.

1) THE AC ONLY HAVE COOL AIR BUT IT IS NOT COLD. IT IS NOT EVEN AS COLD AS THE OUTSIDE AIR. THE TECHNICIAN SAID THAT THE COMPRESSOR AND CONDENSER IS WORKING FINE, SO IT HAS TO BE THE SYSTEMS LEAKING AIR. 2) THE FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW IS OCCASIONALLY CANNOT ROLL DOWN BY BOTH BUTTONS FROM DRIVER OR PASSENGER SIDE. IT HAS TO TAKE A WHILE AND AGGRESSIVELY PUSHED DOWN THE BUTTON FROM PASSENGER SIDE MULTIPLE TIKE TO BE ABLE TO ROLL THE WINDOW DOWN. 3) TOUCH SCREEN INTERMITTEN AUTOMATICALLY FLICKERING LIKE SOMEONE PRESSING ON IT.

STEERING BECOMES JERKY AND TENDS TO STICK AFTER DRIVING AROUND FOR MORE THAN 20 MINUTES. RATHER THAN A SMOOTH TURN OF THE STEERING WHEEL IT REQUIRES A BIT EXTRA FORCE TO FREE UP THE STEER WHEEL TO MAKE EVEN MINOR ADJUSTMENTS. DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS TO MAKE A MINOR ADJUSTMENT TO STAY IN MY LANE REQUIRES A BIT OF EXTRA FORCE TO FREE UP THE "STUCK" STEERING WHEEL BEFORE I MAKE THE MINOR ADJUSTMENT, BUT TO MAKE THE MINOR ADJUSTMENT THE EXTRA FORCE REQUIRED TO FREE UP THE STUCK STEERING WHEEL SOMETIMES CAUSES A MAJOR ADJUSTMENT LIKE DRIFTING INTO ANOTHER LANE. I'VE DETERMINED THAT THIS NORMALLY OCCURS AFTER THE CAR HAS BEEN DRIVEN FOR 20-30 MINUTES AND AT HIGHER AMBIENT TEMPERATURES OUTSIDE. HAPPENS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AS WELL AS JUST DRIVING AROUND TOWN. WE BOUGHT THE VEHICLE USED IN JANUARY OF 2020, THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR THE PAST TWO WEEKS NOW.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED THE STEERING FAILED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT EXTRA EFFORT WAS NEEDED WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL IN EITHER DIRECTION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT NO WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER TO BE DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE 53,651.

A/C NOT WORKING. JUST HIT 3 YEARS AND 50,000 MILES AND NOW NO MORE COLD A/C. I TOOK CAR IN TO LOCAL DEALER AND THEY JUST TRIED TO SAY MY SYSTEM NEEDED RECHARGING AND HAD NO LEAKS. I TOLD THEM I WANTED MY CAR BACK BECAUSE I KNOW THEY, KNEW IF THIS ISSUE AND WAS JUST AVOIDING TRYING TO FIX THE PROBLEM, AT MY EXPENSE. A WHOLE $390 QUOTE TO RECHARGE. TOOK MY CAR TO LOCALE REPARIE SHOP AND GUY LOOKED AT MY FOR 5 MINUTES AND TOLD MY COMPRESSOR WAS BAD, AND HE'S HAD 5 OTHER PEOPLE COME IN WITH SAME ISSUE. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED.
