A/c stopped working after 55,000 miles and owning for 3 years. When discussed with the dealer, they advised that it was the air condenser that was faulty and needed to be replaced. Standard lifetime for an air condenser is well beyond the 3 year timeframe. The dealer also advised that there have been numerous 2016 honda civic's in with the same issue but there is no recall. The cost to repair this issue was over…

The air conditioning unit of my 2016 honda civic sedan failed to function normally after having worked profitably at the start of this summer season. Replacing the fuses associated with the air conditioner's function did not yield in a change in performance. After having taken the vehicle to a dealership for service, it was found that the condenser of the civic was faulty. Neither trauma nor damage was found by the…

Ac is not blowing cold air. My mechanic says that the ac compressor system is leaking and would need to be replaced. My car is at around 38000 miles and it has been less than 3 years since i bought it. This is completely unacceptable and absolutely unbearable during the summer.

It works fine for oyr 2 summer months then i dont have to use it that often…

Air conditioning system not functional (discovered may 2019). Blows only hot air. 31-32k mileage on car (on may 2019). Purchased car new in feb 2016. Had noticed a decrease in cooling efficiency in summer of 2018, but didn't take car in for inspection, since i don't use a/c much. Didn't need to use a/c again until may 2019. Car was <4 months over 3 year warranty (but under 36k miles), so dealership where car was…

There was a failure of the ac condenser causing the need to replace the whole unit, as well as the sensor. The corporate honda representative even admitted on the phone that their dealerships have reported similar issues with the condensers on the civic models, including units delivered from the factor that had already failed. A simple search of credited automotive review sites shown many examples for this model…

I purchased this year after my 3 year lease was up. Within months, the ac started blowing hot air. I found out (only by looking online) that there was a reported issue with the ac condensor. I called honda of america, they confirmed that if it was found to have an issue not due to damage, they would pay for the assessment ($150) and the replacement. I took it in, the honda dealer said yes, the condensor needed to be…

In the summer of 2018, with the air conditioning system on, it was blowing warm air on the driver side while the passenger side discharging cold air. Took the car to the dealer for inspection. The service department informed us there was a leak. A dye was added to the recharged refrigerant. Early this month, april, the ac wasn't provided any cooling. Took the car to the dealer and was informed that the ac compressor…

The a/c stopped working shortly after 3 years but luckily it was still covered under my certified honda warranty. Took the car to the honda dealer and the technician said a/c problems are a common problem they see. Check for leaks and recharged the system. It's been 3 months now and the a/c is starting to become ineffective again.

Was driving to work on 1/26/2019 at about 11:30 am when i heard a very loud pop. I thought maybe i had blown a tire and turned down my music. I heard a lot of wind and after verifying that all of my windows were up i opened the visor to my sunroof to discover that my sunroof had exploded. When this occurred, there were no other vehicles surrounding me and i was not driving under an over pass, therefore i was not hit…

Air conditioning system went out. Blows warm air and makes hissing noises. It takes a very long time to defog the windshield reducing visibility while driving and making it uncomfortable to drive. The vehicle was in motion when the problem was first noticed. It takes over 10 minutes to defog the vehicle.

Air conditioning a/c has been not working for the last month or two. It started off blowing warm air on the drivers side and cool on the passenger side. After a few days it's warm on both sides now. This is an ongoing problem with other civic owners i know. This needs to be fixed by honda. I've had honda vehicles for plenty of years. Accords, crv and other year civics. I'm ready to give it up, so much for…

I got into the trunk of my civic (keyless) and when i tried to open the car, everything had shut down and it is locked and won't respond to the emergency key or the fob. This began 2 days ago and i see several other complaints o the internet of the same problem. It was parked in my driveway. Not being able to get into my car here in the arizona desert could be a serioue problem.
