2018 Honda Civic Type R Other or unknown Problems

“Evaporator failed at 63,000 miles, resulting in poor window defogging during morning hours. The failed evaporator also led to loss of cabin cooling resulting in excessive heat stress during daytime operation. Additionally the flammable R-1234yf refrigerant leaked into my cabin creating a fire risk. I noted the odd odor to the dealership and manufacturer. The decomposition of R-1234yf inside the cabin potentially exposed me and the technician replacing the evaporator to hydroflouric acid, trifluoroacetic acid, and carbonyl fluoride, which are hazardous decomposition products.”

“I’m having issues with my A/C system due to faulty parts from the manufacturer. In my case, I was told by a Honda Dealership that the problem is a faulty evaporator core. I already tried reaching out to American Honda for assistance with this issue, unfortunately I didn’t get any assistance like taking responsibility for the faulty component and covering the cost of repairs. I live in Phoenix, AZ that can get up to 100+ degrees in the summer. Having a very unreliable A/C system can be a very detrimental factor to my health and safety.”
