I took my 2016 Honda Civic to the dealer after the air conditioning stopped working in June of 2020 to have it inspected for a leaking A/C condenser, which was covered under an extended warranty per a letter I received in November of 2019. The dealer inspected the vehicle and found the condenser is leaking and would be covered, but also stated the compressor is leaking and the repair would cost $1583. When I asked if a leaking condenser could cause damage to the compressor they said they weren't sure. I then asked if they were seeing a number of condenser and compressor failures at the same time and they said yes. There have been a number of customers with simultaneous leaks in their condensers and compressors. I believe these need to be investigated and Honda should extend the warranty on both
A/C unit and all components of ac has stopped working, previous owner replaced components at dealership, I had the components replaced at a different dealership! parts are faulty and don't last!
2016 Honda Civic. Problem with air conditioning blowing hot air both when vehicle is in motion and stationary. I took to the car to the dealership and was told both condenser and compressor had leaks. Condenser is covered under extended warranty but the compressor was not costing in excess of $1100 to repair. Was informed by dealership they are receiving 3-4 vehicles per week with this issue. It is clearly a defect in the manufacture of the vehicle.
Honda Civic, model year 2016 has defective A/C system. In shop 3X since 2017 to repair A/C, on 3X the compressor and condenser needed to be replaced. System does not blow cold air. Honda replaced the condenser at no charge, but charged $599 for new compressor. I believe Honda is aware of their defective A/C system.
A/C blows warm air on driver's side. A/C blows slightly cool air on passenger's side. A/C does not reach set cooling temperatures. Vehicle was purchased from Honda dealership on 4/25/20. A/C began going out on 6/7/20. Vehicle has ~35,000 miles.
My 2016 Honda Civic ex-T A/C recently started blowing hot air. I took the car to the dealership and they want nearly $500 for the diagnostic. Then they said the compressor needs to be replace and it'll cost over 2 grand. My car nearly has 60K miles and there's no way the compressor should have leakage. I took good care of my car. If I known Honda I'd problems with A/C I would have never bought Honda. This issue needs to be recall. It is not a pleasant ride to drive in the hot summer without A/C and my mother is old. This is not good.
Air conditioner in 2016 Civic failed in November of 2019. Honda covered the condenser but charge full rack to replace a connecting hose, $450. Now June of 2020 same issue where A/C is blowing hot air. Honda dealer tells me that the condenser and compressor need to replaced. Condenser is under extended warranty. Compressor was replaced at a cost of $1600. These parts are all faulty need to be covered. Car was purchased in 2018 as a cpo from Honda dealer. Car has under 63K miles.
A/C quit working at 30,000 miles one year out of warranty. Dealer diagnosed compressor bearing failure - not covered under extended warranty for defective condensers. Cost to repair: $2,000 + this is both dangerous due to inoperative defrost/defogging as well as risking passenger overheating in extreme weather - especially those of us who are seniors.
Car has only 33K miles and needs a new compressor at a cost of $1700. There are numerous reports of compressor issues with the 2016 Honda Civic. They need to recall it.
Ac was blowing out hot air. Dealer charged $280 to recharge ac with dye. After a month, they inspected the ac and found the evaporator and condenser leaking. Condenser is under the extended warranty but the evaporator is not, and they quoted me $1960 to replace it. It gets very hot in southern California and is a safety hazard when ac does not work properly.
Ac compressor leaking. Dealership admits ongoing issue. Estimate repair at $2300. Class action lawsuit in California already in motion for this issue. Honda only offering partial assistance with this repair. Admitted it's deign/manufacturing flaw. Honda needs to be compelled to recall 2016-2018 Civics to fix this flaw.
Tried to start car (in walmart parking lot) after shopping. Wouldn't start. Instead, all systems warning lights came on: Power steering, parking brake, brake failure, TPMS, traction control system, hill assist system, ABS system, etc. All these warnings kept cycling through on the dashboard when I tried to start car. Tow company came and jump started battery just to see if that would start car. It did! but warnings continued to cycle through all previously mentioned items while I drove car to mechanic. Did not turn car off till I got there for fear it would not start again.
Ac compressor seal 'broke' after 40,000 miles. Honda has had this problem on these cars but haven't issued a recall! they want $2000 to fix their mistake. With no ac my wife was borderline getting heat exhaustion. Stationary.
2016 ac stopped working in September 2019. We purchased the vehicle in March 2019 with only 23K miles on it. We received a letter from Honda in November 2019 about a factory defect concerning the ac. We took it in and was charged over $400 for a leak test. No leak was found, they put in some dye and now today on May 12th, 2020 the ac is blowing warm air again. Now I'm doing research on the issue and have found many, many complaints of the same issue. I hope Honda steps up when take it in tomorrow.
Air compressor needed to be replaced at 26,000 miles and cost $1200 at the dealer. The A/C was blowing hot air. I live in Florida so this is unacceptable and not safe for children or elderly. I have had the car since day one and religiously maintain and take care of the vehicle. The man at the dealer said the condenser is under extended warranty only to find out that it was the compressor. A quick online search shows that 2016 Honda Civics have massive numbers of both condenser and compressor failures, leaking freon into the atmosphere. This needs to be a recall on the part of Honda.
