I purchased a 2016 honda civic for my son in 2016. I received a notice about ac problems this year. I contacted my son and asked him if he had problems with the a/c.

He was told that the recall for a/c affected only one part of the unit which they could fix under no cost...but they said that there was a huge…

My 2016 honda civic ex-t was purchased brand new on 2016. In less than 40,000 miles, my air conditioning unit blows hot air. It is currently in the shop replacing the ac unit. They said there was a leak and i am sure refrigerant is not a safe chemical to be leaking out in the environment.

When the warmer weather started, i noticed my air conditioning was only giving out cold air on the passenger side. When brought to the local mechanic, they said they could not assess what was wrong with the air conditioner due to the design of the car for that year. I brought it to the honda dealer for repairs on may 20, 2019 where they said i needed a new condenser due to a leak. They could not say what caused the…

My air condition compressor is defective and leaking the new very flammable refrigerant r1234yf gas out from the compressor itself. The shaft seal seems to be where it is leaking. This is a known problem and honda should issue a recall to replace all of the defective compressors they installed in their cars.

A rodent crawled up into the engine compartment and chewed up the wires to coil connector. It made all of the dashboard warning lights to come on and the engine was shaking due to the mis-firing coil. It is honda fault because they covered/made the wires with soy, which attracts rodents. My 2016 civic is less than 2 years old with 9,500 miles, honda claims it is not covered under the warranty. Honda then, wanted to…
