Air Conditioner problems of the 2006 Honda Civic

2006 Honda Civic lx. Consumer writes in regard to Honda airbag inflator safety recall notice. The consumer stated the dealer and manufacturer refused to honor the air bag recall repair also, the air conditioner would blow hot air.

We purchased a 2006 Honda Civic lx back in late 2008. Back in the summer of 2010, the air conditioner just died. It blew air, just not cold air. Honda dealership said it wasn't covered under the warrantee, and that it would cost us $950 for repairs.

The air conditioner on my 2006 Honda Civic failed. Since I have a 10-yr extended warranty, I had my Honda dealer diagnose the problem (cost $75). They told me that the ac condenser was damaged due to a rock/pebble impacting the condenser and that the warranty would not cover the problem. I had them replace the condenser (cost: $782). It turns out that there are hundreds of similar complaints about this defect for this Honda and others going back to 2003. There is absolutely no protection in the front grille that would prevent this from happening again. The design of this Honda welcomes debris to come through the grille! a simple $5. 00 screen attached to the grille would have saved me $856. Something has to be done. I now have to look for my own custom grille to stop this from happening again. It's not if, it's when.

I bought a 2006 Honda Civic with 50k miles on it one month ago. The air conditioning did not blow cold air from the very first time I turned it on. When I took it back to the Honda dealership (it has a bumper-to-bumper warranty for a year), they said a pebble hit the condenser and it would cost $700 to replace and is not covered by warranty because it is considered a road hazard. .
