“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.”
NHTSA complaint #11407588, filed 2021-04, 54,000 miles“There is already a TSB for my issue. Referencing TSB 19-091 it states that all civics of all types of trim for the years 2016-2018 are applicable for a recall. However, there is no recall for the hatchback models? This is an expensive repair for something failing that should be working out of the factory and keep working. 50k miles on my vehicle.”
NHTSA complaint #11322705, filed 2020-04, 50,000 miles“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.”
NHTSA complaint #11340559, filed 2020-07, 63,000 miles“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.”
NHTSA complaint #11400383, filed 2021-03, 66,700 miles“A/c stop blowing cold air. Took to Honda dealership for inspection turns out it is the evaporator has a leak. Warranty doesn't cover it anymore. 2,200 to replace it's disappointing newer model having issues like these. My 2010 Honda Civic blows cold after 10 year. Honda I hope there is something you can do for your customer that are having these same issues, we believed in Honda but sadly it is disappointing.”
