My air conditioner has gone out for the 3rd time. Fits the air condenser is replaced, and then the evaporator core. Now stating the compressor. With a newborn baby infant my ac blowing hot air does not help and could cause a heat stroke! Summer days are approaching in California which are dangerous.
The paint on both of the side mirrors have began peeling. The paint on one of the door handles have began peeling. After research, I have found that Honda has been known for this same issue on prior vehicles due to improper paint laying technique. I contacted Honda Automotives and they told me they wouldn't help me due to my vehicle not being apart of the prior "campaigns" to fix the paint on the recorded vehicles.
After less than 4 years, the dashboard Infotainment Screen stopped working and went blank/dark. I checked all connections and fuses with no luck. After a trip to the Honda Dealer, they quoted $1200 to replace the Infotainment screen. I do not have the money to replace this part. This part failed in less than 4 years time. As a result, I have no access to the back up camera, tire inflation calibration, or radio controls and other functions displayed on this screen. This is causing a safety hazard while driving and undue driver distraction while driving while trying to access information usually displayed on the screen. I checked the internet regarding this issue, and there is wide spread data that this is a common issue with Honda, including several law firm class action lawsuits. I believe there should be a Safety Recall for Honda to replace this part.
First it was two hoses that had issues with the AC then the condensor wasnt holding anything in so it kept leaking out and my AC still wasnt working so Honda said the Evaporator went out and said this is what Honda is known for and happens a lot. So my whole AC all these little parts kept going out and it cost me $4000 to replace all of them and to get it fixed. The evaporator is what cost $3000 to replace
The car had damage because in the carfax they gave me on the left side of the car the shock absorbers fail and I always had that problem also The moldings the first time I cleaned it also fell apart at the time to revere and turn to the right when it is going back it has such an annoying noise

This car has a defective Evaporator mine and many other people have had evaporator go back and left with no Air Condition i live in California weather is over 106 degrees. Dealership are aware and charging $1,500-$2,000 to repair. I believe a recall should be made to fix 2017-2018 Honda civic evaporator.
Service center states evaporator is leaking. The leaking ac components is a known issue to Honda who have issued a extended warranty for other AC component. R1234yf refrigerant is a flammable danger and leaking in the engine bay.
The problem is Compressor of the AC is faulty/damage. This is very common and i see a lot of people online having this problem. Its weird because they only warranty the condenser. Not Compressor which is also affected by bad manufacturing. Please help bring this to light and let it fully covered all AC parts. Thank you in advance
There crappy electrical Systems and cause a fire! It-??s breaks the Ac system. Someone could die of heat related reason from driving in 95 degree weather. DAMN YOU HONDA!!!
Air conditioning is malfunctioning and not blowing cold air. It is available for inspection. This is an issue on long drives during summer months in high heat. No inspection due to personal cost No visible warnings.
Same as everyone else. Owned the car for 4 years, AC stopped working. Wil take to dealer to see if it is covered under TSB 19-091. However even those who get it repaired are still experiencing failure. This should be a recall.
2018 Civic Hatchback with less than 18,000 miles on it - noticed A/C was not blowing cool air, so took it into dealership for evaluation. Was told the freon was low but the issue was not due to the condenser and would not be covered under the 2016-19 Civic A/C Condenser Warranty extension. Dealership said they looked at everything possible without disassembling through the dash and so gave me the option to either perform a diagnostic leak test/Freon recharge ($400, with the caveat that the leak may still be there and this would be a temporary fix) or to replace the evaporator entirely ($1800). Unfortunately the car is no longer covered under factory warranty since it-??s over 3yrs old. Does not make sense that for a vehicle that-??s <4 years old with <18K miles this is an issue.
The AC on my vehicle has broken three times since I bought the car in 2018. The compressor and condenser have been replaced but this time it's likely the evaporator. I have been told that it will cost thousands of dollars since the entire dashboard will have to be removed. And I don't know if it's even worth fixing if this cycle of breakdowns is going to repeat itself every year. I am so disappointed because I am a long time Honda owner and there has been no support from corporate so far. The only thing they have done recently is that they continually hound me to invest in an extended warranty. But I believe that I shouldn't be forced to invest more money in order to pay for a defect on their end. Who knew that a Honda could be a lemon?
I am experiencing issues with my 2018 Honda Civic LX A/C. Here is the history of the A/C issues. December 2020 A/C stopped working and went in for maintenance for a check up. Told me condenser was leaking and needed to be replaced and was covered under warranty. However the condenser was back ordered and I couldn't get it replaced at that time. April 2021 Condenser was in stock and went into the dealership to get it fixed on warranty. January 2022 A/C was blowing hot air again so I bought it back to the dealership. Was told the evaporator/compressor was leaking and was quoted $4,000 to get it fixed. Summary: Had constant A/C issues and was finally quoted $4,000 to fix the A/C on a car that is only 4 years old.
2018 Honda Civic 2.0L Sedan bought in July 2018, starts to blow warm air from A/C from on October 2021, with only 50k miles on the car. Went to a mechanic for diagnosis since it was just over warranty and Honda dealer would charge $399 for just diagnosis and the only thing would be under cover is the condenser. The mechanic told me it is either a compressor leak or evaporator leak. I have read the comments online and it says the compressors and evaporator fail at a high rate due to bad design of the 10th gen Honda Civic A/C. I-??ve also read that the condenser issue can lead to a compressor and evaporator leak. It is not a safety issue but it is unacceptable that a car which is only over 3 years with about 50k needs to be replaced the compressor or evaporator for over $1000.
The AC is blowing hot air. I hardly use my AC so I don't know exactly when the issue started. I took my car to the Honda dealer in Buena Park CA. They told me that the warranty was expired. My vehicle is a 2018 with 35k + miles-??how can that be? And as expected, Honda refuses to take responsibility. They told me a $300+ diagnostic was needed in order to identify the problem, and if the issue was the condenser if was free of charge. Now according to their findings, the issue IS NOT the condenser but the "evaporator" and the cost to repair it is $2000+. Per the comments here, the problems with the AC unit for 2016-2018 Honda Civics IS a highly reported issue. This should be a recall, and Honda should take full responsibility for all the parts/repairs of the entire A/C system for these cars. This is a safety issue to drivers and passengers because there were no vehicle warnings when the malfunction started.
The A/C system both the condenser and compressor failed in my 2018 Honda Civic with 13,000 miles. Honda acknowledges faulty part with their A/C condenser that could cause refrigerant to leak but failed to take responsibility of the compressor. The leak could cause other A/C components to fail such as the compressor, clutch and coil. These failures could further damage the car and cause the car to be unsafe to drive. Honda should take full responsibility of all the parts in their A/C system instead of charging owners $2300+ to fix the compressor.
We only have this car for 3 years with 40,000+ mileage and the AC started blowing hot air and is a safety issue especially for my wife and our kid. Please notice this concern is not something to be taken lightly especially the heat here in central california where heat stroke often occurs.
