“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.”
