Air Conditioner problems of the 2017 Honda Civic

Air conditioner fails to cool and instead blows hot air. Honda authorized service technician has confirmed that a defective air conditioner compressor has caused freeon leakage from the compressor's main shaft throughout the system.

Air conditioner in vehicle stopped cooling causing excess build up of moisture on interior windshield and side windows impairing visibility and safe operation of vehicle. Raining prevented the ability to roll windows down to clear windshield and windows. Had to manually wipe the interior of windows and windshield to see constantly until I made it back to my home.

I was on an errand trip from alhambra to santa ana. Air conditioner is working fine until I stopped to drop off documents in alhambra. The air conditioner stopped working when I return and startup my car. My vehicle was at 66700 miles. No accident history. Norm reeves Honda at west covina diagnosed both a/c compressor and condenser are leaking. Request goodwill repair from America Honda but was ultimately denied.

2020 I haven't used the car much do to covid-19. Maybe 1000 miles. February 2021 I noticed the cold air conditioning doesn't work properly. Seems that the air only blows. I just discovered today that Honda seems to have issues with ac condensers. I sent an email to Honda to see if my VIN has the warranty for the condenser. I will inspect it and see if that's what is going on. Car has 40k miles. 2017 sedan ex 2. 0l need ac to defog windshield for visibility! and keep me cool so I can operate the vehicle safely! I'm not sure if it failed at some point in 2020. But I just noticed it now during some very hot days. Automatic breaking should have recall. When I drive and someone in front jumps across my lane to get into another lane, the car will slam the brakes after the car in front is already left the lane and it's inside another lane. That's a very delayed response and unnecessary because other cars behind me need to get on the brake hard to avoid hitting me. I try to floor it in situations like this but the system won't let me. The only thing this leaves me to do is disabled the system by holding down the button. But that removes the safety features. Sometimes someone in front of me brakes fast suddenly. I jump to another lane and the system applies the brakes once I already jumped into another lane with nobody in it. However if there is someone behind, then the person honks because the car just slammed on the brakes! I have video proof of this. It's an accident waiting to happen.

Air conditioning continues to not work right. Compressor replaced and now a year later system looses freon and blows warm air again. These cars should be recalled and have the ac units replaced at no charge to consumers.

The air conditioner stops blowing cold air at idle and occasionally even when driving. This may pose a safety issue in hotter climates if there are children, elderly people, special needs persons, or pets in the vehicle when parked. Reading through the world wide web or internet, thousands, if not tens of thousands of owners with this same issue due to a faulty ac condenser from the factory. Honda has extended the condenser warranty but has not issued a full recall or warranty on the other parts/labor involved. For example, expensive refrigerants, parts, and labor. The first condenser replaced in January 2020 and lost all refrigerant in October 2020. I took my Civic into the Honda dealership and got it tested for a/c leaks in September 2020. I was told it was not the condenser but another part next to the firewall, costing 440 dollars. I took it to another Honda dealership a few weeks later and was told that there was little to no refrigerant. I paid over 300 dollars to get the a/c checked and the test was done with a dye solution that can be seen by uv light. There was no indication of leaks during the diagnosis. The refrigerant should be tested further or Honda should replace all defective air conditioning parts all around. I know this issue will continue to occur because of underlying problems with Honda original manufactured a/c parts. Very respectfully, a worried parent.

Air conditioning system is not blown cold air.

6 weeks ago the air conditioner/windshield defogger stopped working in my 2017 Honda Civic that I purchased new with a 7 year/120000 mile warranty. I took it to the dealership who diagnosed condenser failure but claims they are unable to obtain parts to perform repair. Every time I call I get the same "in a few days" excuse.

Car is only a little over 3 years old and the air conditioning is blowing hot air! the mileage on the car is only 22832. Took it to the dealer & they said the condenser is damaged & the compressor is leaking due to "road damage". Called Honda corporate for this since it is a known issue with their Honda Civics 2015-2019 about a faulty compressor getting holes punctured in causing the freon to leak out and they also denied the payment claiming a rock hit my car and caused the condenser to get damaged. Clearly Honda needs to own up to this faulty compressor and recall the cars or just pay for the ac to be fixed instead of charging customers $2300 to fix a problem that can occur again! there are even lawsuits against Honda for this issue!.

Air conditioning - no longer blows cold air - there is no recall yet there are a lot of online complaints that the air conditioning in this year Hondas quit working after 36,000 mile mark.

The air conditioning went out in my car around 40k miles. From speaking with others I hear this is a common problem and its the ac compressor. I know 3 others with the same car and all 3 of theirs has went out by 50k miles. This is a very common problem because I have checked online and saw many more complaints. Please do something about this because it is a very expensive fix and unacceptable for a brand new car!.

My vehicle's air conditioning stopped working. Went to Honda dealership and had to pay $206 to flush the ac and replace the freon with dye. Approximately 5 months later the a/c stopped working again. Went back to Honda dealership. The leak they state is due to the a/c compressor leaking. Honda provided an extended warranty on the condenser because they are having problems with defective condensers. The dealership stated they will not cover because it is the compressor, not the condenser. It appears Honda has been having issues with all components of the a/c of these cars. They won't cover this as I only have 46k miles on vehicle and want to charge $2,049. 00 to replace. In my opinion, the a/c system is defective and all parts should be covered.

I purchase my 2017 Honda Civic in November of 2016. Soon after its warranty expired the air conditioner began getting warmer and not cooling down as much. The driver's side now blows either hot or warm air and the passenger's side blows cool but not cold air. The coolest the air gets coming from the passenger side vents is 61f but the passenger compartment barely cools down on warm and hot days. The air is supposed to be around 45f as it exits the vents. I purchased the vehicle with the expectation that I could cool the passenger compartment on hot days. Driving in the heat makes me sleepy. I called my local Honda dealership and they wanted close to $400 dollars just to diagnose the problem and the cost could go up significantly depending on the problem. This should not happen so soon to a new car. I had a 2000 Civic for 17 years and never had a problem with the ac. I found online that many other people are having this difficulty. A recall should be issued. With the ac problem the defroster now doesn't not work as well as it had done when the car was new. This increases the risk of an accident because clear windows are necessary to drive safely. The date I entered below is the approximate the date I noticed the ac was not working correctly.

The air conditioner stops blowing cold air at idle and occasionally even when driving. This may pose a safety issue in hotter climates if there are children, elderly people, special needs persons, or pets in the vehicle when parked.

2017 Honda Civic air conditioner compressor has failed and is leaking. The condenser is leaking, which is a known problem and is being covered by Honda, however they refuse to cover the compressor even though the leak in the condenser can easily lead to a failure of the compressor.

I brought the car to the dealer on July 6 because the air conditioner stopped working and the car is under warranty. It is unsafe to drive the car without a/c in this heat and humidity. The dealer determined that the condenser had failed and that many 2016 and 2017 Honda have had this problem. The part is on a national back order and they haven't been able to get the part. I opened a case with Honda customer service and it appears that there are over 3000 cars with this problem. As of today, 7/19, their best estimate is that they may have the part on 7/25. No guarantee. My car will be out of service for nearly three weeks at the least. More importantly, many of these cars are being driven in this heat ,without a/c, which is definitely an unsafe condition.

Purchased 2017 Honda Civic new from dealership with standard new car warranty. At 41,000 miles air conditioning stopped working. Brough vehicle to dealership and was told new compressor was needed and repair would cost $986 + tax. Bought vehicle because of reputation for reliability. Something like this has never happened before and dealership even admitted that there has been a severe problem with air conditioning compressors for this particular year and make vehicle. After searching internet for information I came to realize that this is true and wondered how many other consumers were faced with the same type repair costing over $1,000? filing this complaint so that word gets out and someone can finally hold Honda accountable for selling a product with a known defective component.
