1 Air Conditioner problem

Failure Date: 03/08/2021

Air conditioner does not work. It only blows warm/hot air. The vehicle has 32,707 miles on it. Honda says it's out of warranty and will not cover the cost of repair. Honda is putting bad parts into cars and not fixing the problem. Thousands of vehicles have the same issue.

2 Air Conditioner problem

Failure Date: 07/22/2020

The air conditioning unit does not workin my 2018 Honda Civic has a leaky condenser. Honda said that this is a known issue for 2018 Honda Civics and a 10 year extended warranty was offered (TSB 19-091); however, it does not cover the VIN series of my 2018 Honda Civic. I wanted to log this issue for others that are having the same issue as it makes the car pretty much inoperable on hot days and Honda's response is nonsensical given that other 2018 Honda Civics are covered for the exact same problem. There is no guarantee that if an extended warranty is issued after I pay for the repair that I will be reimbursed.

3 Air Conditioner problem

Failure Date: 06/25/2020

Air conditioner has stopped working. Blowing out muggy or hot air instead of cold air. This happens when being stationary and driving on roadways. This is a safety issue to driver and passengers. It was also know problem to Honda and they did nothing to tell potential buyers about the known issue. There is also a class action suit. According to the class action it involves 2016-2018 Honda Civics. The only action Honda took was extend the warranty to 10 years and unlimited mileage. They never notified me of this warranty. I called the dealer and they need to do a diagnostic test before even looking at the air conditioner. First why should there be a diagnostic test done. Nothing in the service bulletin (TSB) 19-091 concerning a/c condensers that came from the factory defective in 2016-2018 Honda Civics never mentions a diagnostic be completed first. Why should I have to pay for anything since Honda knew about this issue! there should be a recall, and repair issued to dealers at no extra cost to the customer. . I have only had my car for 2 years.

Air conditioning stopped working. It is a very highly reported issue with 2016-2018 Honda Civics and the condenser defect.

5 Air Conditioner problem

Failure Date: 07/01/2019

This past summer (summer of 2019) my wife's 2018 Honda Civic's air conditioning system began to lose its ability to cool air gradually, until in the middle of the hottest month of the year, it stopped completely. Because it is a lease, I then took the vehicle to our home Honda service center . They refused to cover costs allegedly because the malfunction had been caused by road debris on the condenser. Fast forward to November, I receive a letter in the mail stating that there is a recall on 2018 Civic condensers. It was clear to me then, that the malfunction was due to a manufacturing defect, and not due to my wife going off-roading (which she doesn't do lol). I became hopeful that Honda would reimburse me (over $800). After going back and forth for two months, I just received a call in which they advised me that due to the nature of the malfunction (having been caused by "road debris" supposedly), Honda would not reimburse me. I have clearly been taken advantage of.
