My 2016 Honda has began to blown hot air through my air conditioning unit while I'm driving making it very difficult to breath. This begun on 4/2020 while driving on the highway. I took my car to norm reeves Honda in the city of cerritos, CA and they said that the condensor is leaking as well as the evaporator. The condensors that Honda has been using on there 2016 - 2018 Honda Civics have a history of failing and that is why Honda is now extending there warrant of them for an extra two years however Honda also know that the evaporators are defected also. I have spoke with american Honda and they are aware of my problem and refuse to help. Honda also knows that you can't replace the condensor without servicing the evaporator and that is the way that they avoid having to repair the defected part on your vehicle. To replace the leaking evaporator, Honda said they would charge me $1,609 and even though this defective part was causing me breathing trouble, that the evaporator is not covered in the new extended warranty and that I would have to come up with the money. If Honda had made me aware of this defect at the time of purchase, I would have never purchased this car. I believe this is a safety issue due to the fact that that the car is pumping hot air into the vehicle even while turned off causing breathing trouble as well a vision trouble for any driver in the car. Please help in any way that you can. Thank you cell 310-879-3354 cell 323-399-6759 email : mr_moore1700@yahoo. Com.

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.

The air conditioner stopped working on my 2016 Honda Civic ex. I bought the car used in December 2018. The ac worked fine in 2019, but has not worked at all in 2020. It blows hot air on the left side and barely cooler air on the right.

Air conditioner started working part of the time. Half the time would blow hot and other blow cold. I took to an air conditioner expert and was told I needed all new system and that Honda is known for this problem. My vehicle is only 5 years old and I have done all services on time. Now I am out $950. 00 to stay cool.

All my knobs are melting. Radio, air, etc. Also the names are fading on the window and air conditioning. ## #vpic# 1 - check digit (9th position) does not calculate properly #vpic#.

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.

Faulty air conditioner system that has an extended warranty covering the compressor and refrigerant leaks.

Air conditioning and cooling, other Civics of this year and model were recalled, my vehicle has the same symptoms yet Honda is not honoring recall.

I bought a Honda Civic 2016. I notice that my front led light maker does not work only left side work and it is about to go out too. Sometime it goes on as its please. And air condition does not blow cold air . I hope they recall all these problems. .

Air conditioning not blowing cold after 3 months of filling up freon.

The air conditioning blows hot air.

The air conditioning compressor stopped working. There was a leak in the compressor.

The air conditioning system in my car started to blow hot air on the driver's side while remaining cool on passenger side. I took it the dealer where I bought the car and was told that the condenser had a leak which was caused by a rock or rocks. I was told that although there is a 10 year warranty on the condenser it doesn't apply because the part didn't fail, it was due to road debris. This is despite the fact that the front of this model of Honda is completely open under the bumper easily allowing small rocks and bugs to enter and be embedded in the condenser. I was told that the compressor "blew up" because it was still running with low freon and would not be covered either. This is despite the fact that the vehicle should have a low pressure switch which shuts off the compressor when there is low freon to prevent this type of damage. I was told the cost of repairs would be $1854. The service manager has not returned my multiple calls to discuss my concerns about the vehicle. I have had all of my service done at the dealership and when this started becoming an issue last year I would have thought Honda would address it and let consumers know what steps could be taken to prevent the damage - if that is what caused the condenser to fail. As other complaintants have noted this is an issue for clearing the windshield in rainy weather, I have already experienced that problem and it is an issue in hot weather especially for people with disabilities affected by hot weather, the elderly and children. I can provide the dealer estimate and pictures of the car's front and condenser if that would be helpful.

My vehicles just past 3 year period and air conditioner is blowing hot air. Took to dealer and they say low on feon and needed recharge because only seeing 120kg out of 420kg gas. Must have leak somewhere. All my pervious car I had have no issue w/ lost of feon. Something is going on and dealer is not telling me.

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.

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.

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.

2016 Honda Civic, air conditioning quit working causing the defroster not to work creating a dangerous visibility because the windshield remained foggy.

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 service personnel. Furthermore, they had indicated that this is quite a common complaint of this year's model. Thank you for your time and for your consideration of this manufacturing issue.

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 purchased refused to cover repair cost under warranty. Was given repair estimate of $1,150, which was to cover cost of replacing a/c condenser, o-ring in discharge line, and new refrigerant re-charge. When driving in rainy, high humidity weather, windows more prone to fogging up because there's no cool air to blow on inside of window to clear condensation - because a/c system is non-functioning.

Air conditioning system does not work. Dealer wants $2,382. 15 to replace a/c compressor w/ clutch and coil ($1500. 26), condenser ($599. 04), evacuate and recharge complete($159. 95) filters and air cleaners ($122. 90) , air ventalation system cleaning ($89. 95). 2016 Honda Civic ex 70,491 miles. Last year I brought the car to dealer and they vacuumed and refilled the system ($159. 95). This year same problem, no cold air and now being told entire system is defective. I can not properly clear my front windshield because does not work properly because I don't have a/c .

"takata recall". My Honda Civic 2009 lx sedan is giving me a very hard time. Its air condition turns on but stops working right after 10 mints as the compressor gets hot and it starts blowing hot air. This issue is with almost all vehicles of the same generation and Honda is not going to own it and says that the cars are out of warranty now. Please look into this matter.

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 along with refrigerant piping was leaking and need to be replaced.

The a/c compressor failed, shooting out ice particles into my face. Honda acknowledges the condenser was faulty from the factory and replaced that component, but refuses to acknowledge that the faulty condenser probably shortened/cause issues with the life of the compressor causing it to fail. Is cost prohibitive to repair and lack of air conditioning causes health and visibility issues with the front windshield in the winter.

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 reliability.

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.

Air conditioning compressor went at 82,000 miles. The internet says this is a common problem that Honda should make good on. It was a $491. 31 repair bill for me.

The air conditioning compressor has been changed once before. It is again giving problems and is only producing mildly cold air. My mechanic has informed me that I need to change the compressor again. That would be #3!.

Car is only one yr old, not even 33,000 miles air conditioner blowing hot air, many of my friends have same problem. Honda won't honor warranty. Wants to charge over $500. 00 to start.

The air conditioner motor and resistor in my car have been replaced 5 times now. Every four months, the air conditioner makes sounds, fluctuates in power, and then finally stops working altogther. The lights on the dash still work, but the air stops blowing. Once motor and resistor are replaced, it works fine again - but only for a few months. All new parts have been ordered directly through Honda. The defroster and heat will not work either when this part goes bad, which is dangerous if driving in the rain or in the cold.

It was fine when I parked it in the garage the night before but the next morning none of the following were working and the dealer has no idea what's wrong (they want to try replacing whole console for $700 and if/when that doesn't work try replacing something else for $$$): - dash (and gear shift, etc. ) doesn't light up when driving at night - windshield defoggers - speedometer (reads "0" whether in motion or stopped) - odometer - warning indicators (overheat, tire pressure, etc. Except "brake" which still works, and the little gas icon on the left continuously blinks whether full tank or not) - gas gauge - gas mileage - tachometer (a physical meter) - air conditioner - oil life left - cruise control - "econ" mode button doesn't work - not sure if air bags work - I may find out someday - radio works/displays fine I am not sure of the exact date when this happened, but it was sometime in August 2017.

Letter from congressman king on behalf of constituent re 2016 Honda Civic defective car. The consumer stated the bluetooth would freeze during an incoming call. This can only be corrected by shutting the vehicle off. When the vehicle was idle the air conditioner would blow hot air. The steering wheel melted black particles onto the drivers hands. The consumer requested to have the vehicle replaced.
