Ive added a link to my follow up video on the freon type at the end of the video. Just an informational video talking about the issues of hot air blowing from the driver side vents and cold air from passanger side vents.
🫡 I just looked this up. Thank you for sharing. It seems as if they’re now admitting to the issue but they’re not extending the warranty for the shaft seal. They’re only making it known for the issue. At least from what I read under the tsb. Which i think is ridiculous.
@@HandsOnDismantler you're right! Sounds like they'll only replace the shaft seal if the vehicle is under warranty. I personally have my ac blowing hot air on my 2020 Si (65K). I am trying to inspect the condenser before I go to them just in case they deny replacing it under ext warranty by saying there's a stone damage that caused the leak. Very sad tbh.
Yes thats best to do. Also because i don’t trust them lol. If you can or know someone, it’s best to get leak detector fluid into the system (safely) and then use a black light to find the leak before taking it in. That way you know they arnt pulling a fast one on you.
@@HandsOnDismantler Just taken my vehicle to a dealership. Upon asking, I was told that there's an extended warranty for condenser and compressor shaft seal. They found my condenser leaking and waiting for parts now.
This need to be a recall HONDA!!! People spend $30,000 on your new civic and expect it all to last like the Honda should!! My AC is mess up after 40,000 miles.... why!! No excuse!! Even my 2001 Honda Civic AC still work!!! Stop being cheap and recall and fix everyone AC issue!!! Or else bye bye Honda and hello Toyota
John Moua yup! I agree. But even Toyota has allowed their quality to deteriorate. unfortunately all dealerships besides high end vehicles are treating their customers like complete crap.
My 2016 Civic AC stopped blowing cold air this summer. It has 34k miles and is just a few months out of the 3 year warranty (bought new in 2016). Dealer wants to charge $450 just to diagnose the problem (not actually fix it). Talked with Honda USA and they won't guarantee that they would cover the fix. Very frustrating. Not sure if I would buy a Honda again.
@@HandsOnDismantler Nope. I was expecting Honda to be a reliable car. Most minor work I can do myself but the 2016 Civic uses that new refrigerant so you pretty much have to take it to the dealer for any AC work.
invenio1978 I agree, that was a reason I go to Honda as well but these days those claims are no longer reliable. These days cars are obviously not made the same. They’re very cheap and the price continues to rise. Because of all the electronics and continued revisions of parts being used having a extended warranty is always a good idea if you can haggle a good price for it. You just can’t trust automakers these days. 😞
Hey @invenio1978, I have the same problem at 41,000 miles. I can’t believe the reliability and durability of Honda’s A/C problem. Before I went to a Honda dealership, I researched. And I presented my research and mentioned Honda’s 2013 lawsuit settlement. They charged $152 for evac, Freon recharge and dye service. After a 4 hour appointment, they couldn’t find a leak in the engine bay. So they said to come back after the Freon stops blowing cold air. They said they may have to spend 9 hours to take the dashboard out, and gave an estimated &124-129 labor cost per hour. I’m watching DIY videos to educate myself on the leak and then hopefully that will decrease the repair cost. If all fails, I’m lawyering up with the current class action lawsuit against Honda for the 2016-2018 Honda Civic AC problem.
@@WKaznartist Sorry to hear your problems. They wanted something like $600 just to diagnose the problem and said the fix may be thousands. I haven't done anything about it at this point... not sure if I will at that price.
I had this same issue ended up being I had low refrigerant. I also had a leak. Ended up being my ac condenser. 1,000 service. Thank God I had a warranty. I only had the car a month
Problem is that 2016 Civic comes with either R134 which is cheap and available to public at Auto Parts stores. Other Civics have the 1234YF freon which is $700 for a 10lb tank, average cost for service is $500-$700.
Another problem is that since 1234YF is still considered new, the equipment such as condensers and compressors are not perfect and have many faults. If you have a 2016 Honda Civic with the new gas and you're experiencing AC issues, it's worth while to go to the dealer since there recalls, especially with their condensers and compressors which have been proven to be defective and leak. In fact Honda extended condenser warranty replacement to 10 years from date of vehicle purchase, regardless of milage.
Just got a new condenser on my 2018 Civic EX-T. Honda service didn’t even question it and told me the AC is under Honda’s extended 10-year warranty for this model. Five hours later, Honda service dropped off my car to my house with no bill. My four year old Civic has over 116,000 miles with a perfect maintenance record.
This helped me a lot. Because I have less than 30000 miles and like you said it's a closed system and at that mile mark I didn't think it would be low t.y
Thanks Brother for this video. Really help me a lot. My daughter got the 2016 civic basic model had the same problem thanks to your video she safe couple hundred bucks. We appreciate videos like your.
Thank you! I appreciate it. I’m glad to hear she figured it out. Your best bet may be to find a independent shop that does AC repair since her civic may not be under warranty, if the condenser is the issue, there is a extended warranty on it for replacement but only if the leak was not caused by damage, I have some other videos talking about it if you want to check them out
I have the same exact problem. I purchased the car yesterday and the ac was working well this morning as. But when I got out of work and went home My vents from the driver side were blowing hot air all the time
Uriel Morales Rodriguez yes, long story short, the car is under the extended warranty. Not manufacturer. The extended warranty company said since they didn’t find a leak they weren’t going to pay for the service. I spoke with the manager because obviously there’s a leak. Freon doesn’t just evaporate. So he agreed to cover it. But yes if it’s under the 3 yr 36k mile warranty they should not be charging you anything to look at it or fix it (unless it’s your fault) Thanks for watching!
Did you hear any hissing behind the dashboard whenever you turned on the AC? I just started having the issue as you, and I'm outside of warranty. I'm assuming this is from a leak.
Efren Aguilar I had the same problem and got mine fixed before the 3 year warranty expired. They had to replace the whole ac system. Just yesterday got something in the mail from Honda, that because of continued complaints the ac is now covered for 10 years.
I just got a letter from Honda to replace the ac condenser. Did the mechanic mention the source of the problem? I'm hoping it's just the condenser, but the hissing behind the dashboard may make the dealership say otherwise.
@@efrenaguilar3684 A hissing behind the dashboard when AC is on is the expansion valve feeding gaseous refrigerant into the evaporator due to a very low refrigerant charge. With the correct refrigerant charge, there's a liquid head right before the expansion valve's inlet and the expansion valve feeds a mist of liquid refrigerant into the evaporator, and this will only come up as a really faint squirting noise and only during low heat load conditions when the expansion valve closes the most. As the system refrigerant charge decreases, it progressively turns into a bubbling noise and then it becomes a steady hiss hearable in every heat load condition (it's the expansion valve going wide open trying to maintain a low superheat at all costs). Did a lot of tests with automotive evaporators and expansion valves.
I bought a 2016 Civic EXL in June 2016.....just few months went by where I noticed it vibrates in drive mode but not moving ( such as idling as at a red light).....I put a plastic bag passenger side and can see bag shaking like crazy..ughhh....I have not done anything yet, cause frankly i don't want to pay for repairs...now, I just realize first time I turned on AC this year, I get hot air. Last summer, AC worked perfect. I am regretting this purchase so much, dammit I wish I did not buy this civic. Not to mention, the car loan payments and city property tax. yes, I'm complaining.
I stumbled upon this video after having the same problem with my 2016 Civic Ex with 68k miles. A local mechanic quoted $85 for diagnosis and I ended up calling the local dealership and asking them if they could check my VIN and see if there is any warranty and they did state only "AC condenser is covered under extended warranty" and fix will be done for free. I have an appt scheduled in 2days. They did say there will however be a $250 auth charge for any other issues and will be only deducted if I authorize them to do it.
Is your civic no longer under the 36k mile warranty? If not then unfortunately they can do that. :/ my issue was the ac compressor. But at the time it was covered under my extended warranty.
@@HandsOnDismantler they did replace the condenser for free but also stated there is a leak on the compressor and $1600 has to be paid for the fix. Not sure what to do at this point
@@vamshikalva1594 take it to a independent shop that you trust. They’ll complete the repair for a fraction of the cost. If your vehicle isn’t under an extended warranty there’s not much you can do at this point. Unless enough people get together for a class action lawsuit regarding the ac system.
@@HandsOnDismantler the dealership was able to replace the condenser for free. However, they now say there is an issue with the compressor which is leaking and needs to be replaced and would cost $1600. I took back the car and now looking for second opinions as to how to get that fixed. It turned out to be way too much that I even would have imagined 😞
I was a huge hknda fan for years but after our 2016 honda civic touring i am gonna sadly try another brand . This has been a problem car , ac gave out after 40k , the display screen flickers on and off and jitters . The oil becomes half a liter to a full liter over filled with gas every oil change and thats every 4000 miles.the engine shakes the interior like an old school hotrod at idle unless i turn the ac sytem on to raise the idle then its not as bad... Gas mileage is nowhere near advertised and i baby it as well as keep it maintained perfect and early.sad my 98 civic with a k swap runs perfect , exceptional gas mileage, reliable , fast , everything a honda should and used to be...
A month ago, the same problem occurred to me, I went to honds for service with the letter and explain what is happening, and the guy told me that it seems that the car has little refrigerant and that it needs to be recharged and emptied and inspected for leaks. He made me wait more than 4 hours and told me there are no leaks and that give it a week and if the same problem happend again he tell me to go to the dealer and will have to inspcect the condencer now on july 14th my air conditioner is not cooling. Got charge 343.56$. (just for the refill and vaccum)
I had this same issue, I wasn't able to find the leak until almost 8 months later! give it some time and invest in a leak detector light so you can look for it yourself. once you find the leak you can take the car in and let them know where it is to save yourself the hassle.
There's a video stating that condenser leaks can cause too much oil to leak out and it'll cause the shaft seals on a compressor to fail. The oil keeps the seals from drying up. Therefore the compressor failing can be from a bad condenser leak.
This could happen but a leak would cause the system to go into protection mode and the compressor wouldn’t engage. Just depends how much it leaks at any certain time.
JoJo-Show if you have paid for an extended warranty yes. But it’s not under Honda’s extended “condenser” warranty. It only covers the condenser on the front of the vehicle.
Took my 2017 ex-l hatchback to the Honda dealer last week because it was not blowing cold enough during the day. On long drives, it would stop blowing and if I turned it off and back on after a while, it blew out literal ice particles from the vents. I suspected low on freon, so I used a gauge and read 30 psi, which is slightly low imo. They said it was slightly low on freon (which tells anyone with common sense there's a leak). But they said they couldn't find the leak. $300! I was upset when the said they evacuated the system and added freon, yet it was still not blowing cold enough. But now it only blows really cold from the passenger side. I went back pretty upset and the manager told me it was possible that it is the air blend actuator is not opening properly on the driver's side. He said he'll check it for free, and I think they better, because $300 for it to still not work properly is ridiculous.
Wow I’m sorry to hear that. Honda really let us down with the 10th gen. Often times it’s a really slow leak. They said the same to me but I was under warranty. It took about 8k miles before it started showing the leak detector dye. Hopefully they fix your issue.
@@HandsOnDismantler mine is at 70k and it has the extended warranty for the condenser, but they somehow said it had "no leaks at this time" I think it has a leak and/or some type of restriction. Or they are lying saying they added freon. I checked my air blend actuator and it moves when I turn the temperature up or down, so I think the service manager has some incompetent mechanics working for him
@@txup92g33 sorry I meant after my dealership put the leak detector dye in the car it took about 8k miles of driving before the leak started to show. I didn’t mean the total amount of miles it has.
@@HandsOnDismantler so update: after taking it back, they worked on it for 3 days. The final result was that they said the blend door actuator was installed incorrectly and they also reevacuated the system and put in freon again. So far it's been working great for over a week
I have the same problem 2016 Honda Civic LX 60,000 miles. After googling the issue which there were MANY ! I called Honda Corporate I bitched and moaned nicely and they would do anything for me. I took it to the dealer and they said its my AC Compressor is leaking .... $1600.00...@ 125.00 per hour I took the car to a shop @ 100.00 per hour That I know and he said 1250.00.. What I will do is Ill purchase a new AC Compressor and replace it myself 3.5 hours to replace the AC then all's I have to do is take it to another shop and have them fill the AC Total amount..... Parts and Freon $600.00
wow! I'm sorry I am sorry I am just now seeing your comment. you can def have it tested at an independent shop for way cheaper if you're not comfortable doing it yourself.
About to take my civic to Honda to see what they’ll say. The service rep on the phone said they’re not aware of any ac issues and because it’s not a recall, it will cost $$$ to do it outside of warranty. 2016 civic with only 56K miles. Yes pass warranty, but this should definitely be corrected free of charge if its a known issue. Wish me luck!
Ray Saldana if you can do it yourself, you can purchase the Freon with dye online for cheap, and you’ll also need the adaptor that goes with this type of Freon. Also order a detector light. Refill it and drive it around for about 3k miles or when it starts blowing warm air again. Then in complete darkness use the light to find your leak. Then you can take it to who ever and have it replaced or you can do it yourself once you see where it’s leaking from. 👍🏻
It looks like the entire 10th generation of Civics has the AC problem. My son has just bought a used 2019 Civic at the dealership. He noticed the AC wasn’t working. Luckily, the condenser was replaced by the dealer under warranty. He still has a 99 Civic and its original AC works fine.
not necessarily, there is a chance it is part of the freon leak issues and has leaked out the freon. once this happens the ac compressor will go into a "safe mode" and wont work to stop any damage from happening. the freon in the compressor is what lubricates the internals. so since your ac compressor isnt turning on you would need to get it serviced by a professional or under warranty. buying the normal guages you find online wont work for you because you would need the ac compressor to run in order to pressure test the ac system at home. if its not working you wont be able to use the "at home" guages.
@@HandsOnDismantler The R1234yf (the real Freon has been discontinued; refrigerant is a more suitable term) isn't a lubricant. It's just that the refrigerant has to carry oil around the system and return enough oil to the compressor at all times since the compressor lacks a dedicated lubrication mechanism (oil sump and pump). Once refrigerant gets low enough oil return decreases. Damage (worn pistons, cylinder walls, swashplate, piston shoes, bearings) may actually have already occurred to the compressor's internals before the pressure transducer senses a low enough high side pressure and stops the clutch from engaging. This does not necessarily result in compressor seizure, but it might result in weaker pumping action and cooling capacity.
Yes looks like who’s everyone got a Honda Civic maybe from 16 to 18 they have been having the same problem I got a 2017 and I got a problem like that in after a year and now well I went to the delivery they fix it they charge me $1000 because their condenser was damaged and the warranty didn’t cover it because they told me that he was not thrown factory defect and now the problem it’s back again and now they said probably will be the compressor and he could be $2000 charge to fix it I think Honda Civic is is not good like it used to be!!
@@dreaming1239 check out his recent video covering a service bulletin from honda. they are extending service of the ac condenser for 10 years if your condenser is deemed at fault. has to be ‘dealer inspected’ tho
I bought my 2017 Honda Civic hatchback used, didn't have a warranty at 56k miles and a year later, hot air with AC on max. I took it into the local Honda Dealership and after paying $79 for them to look at it, they told me it wasn't covered by the 100k mile extended condenser warranty, stating it was the compressor. Reached out to Honda America and they told me they couldn't do anything and that I had to work with the local Honda dealership. Now I have to spend more money to have somebody competent check for leaks and then take that back to Honda for their response.
Wow so much for #helpfulhondapeople I’m sorry you’re going through that. My issue was the ac compressor as well. But I purchased the extended warranty so it was covered. Try going through a independent shop. It may be cheaper.
I wouldn’t say avoid it. BUT make sure before buying the civic that who ever you buy it from provides you DOCUMENTED proof that ac system has been fixed. If they don’t or can’t then I would avoid it.
I am saying it got compressor reliability problem. My compressor leak at 3 year , 47K mile. Waited for almost a month for shortage on compressor. it was cover by extended warranty but it was a long stay in the shop.
I have a 2016 Honda Civic that is showing equal pressure on the AC gauges. I’ve already changed the compressor, condenser, and expansion valve. Any suggestions???
Take it in for an oil change to any dealer and ask for a multi point inspection and they should let you know what’s wrong with it. And you don’t have to pay.
I tried to get a multipoint inspection at a Honda dealership and they said they will not look at the A/C unless I paid $189.99. I moved out of state and they had a free A/C check up and said there’s a leak. They then said to diagnose it further, they’ll charge $152.00 for Evac, recharge and dye. Well after 4 hours, they couldn’t find a leak either. And told me to come back after the A/C stops blowing cold air. They said they may have to spend 9 hours take out the dashboard at $124-129 labor cost per hour! I contacted another Honda dealership and they said it would be very extremely rare for the leak to be in the dashboard. But this guy said to drive my car for another 500-1000 miles and then come in to get check the dye for leaks. I’m going to get myself a UV flashlight and find the leak myself to reduce the cost. I’m thinking of joining the class action lawsuit with Andre Wong and his 2 law firms.
Hi. Its been a few years since you had your AC recharged.. How is it now? Did any other issues occur afterwards or a year or so later? Still running? Im having the same issue as you for my 2018 at around 37k miles.
Hi, my issue ended up being the ac compressor itself. I didn’t have any issues after they did the repairs. But I had some other issues with the car as well. So just recently I sold it to a company while the market was up.
@@HandsOnDismantler how long after you recharged it that you brought it in? I'm assuming it leaked again hence you called them. Was it fixed it under warranty? Did you have to fix other ac components?
@@superduperboyx after they recharged it, it took approx 2,000 miles before I was able to black light the leak and notify the dealer (yes I had to find it myself) I don’t trust dealerships. I only use them for warranty work.
@@HandsOnDismantler I see. So I'm kind of SOL then with my AC unless I want to risk it paying The diag.fee. The other issues you had, were they warranty issues as well?
@@superduperboyx it wasn’t issues that stopped the car from being used it was just stuff that bothered me. I did a little video talking about it under the civic playlist. I wouldn’t say you’re sol. My advice would be to find a independent shop to add leak detector to the system or diag it for you. They’re usually a lot cheaper than dealerships are.
This happened to me last year and now not even a year after my 2016 honda civic LX is blowing hot air on one side. It`s gonna be a leak somewhere on a defective condenser.
Im having this issue right now! Any tips? Thinking of calling honda Corp, im tired of going back to the dealer! I had just got the ac condenser change and other parts! Thru Honda corp all they gave me was 10 yrs on warranty
I died when u said the passenger wasn’t complaining bout the heat while u was sweating cuz it happened to me n my girl haha she’s like no ur probably sick cuz it’s cold lmao on her damn side haha
just got the car and found out that hot air at passenger seat, so we check with dealership and they told that passenger and driving ac temperature regulated separately :)
@@icecool85 pull the carpet up and investigate. If it’s just water then you might have a glass or door rubber seal that isn’t seated properly allowing water in. Or if you’ve recently had a windshield replaced, it may not be sealed. If it smells of oil then you need to figure out what it is.
Hi richy, standard warranty that comes with the vehicle when purchased new is 3 yr/36k miles. Then people have the option to purchase a extended warranty. Luckily for me I got a good deal on the extended warranty with $0 deductible so I did not pay any fees to have my Ac fixed. My issue ended up being the ac compressor and not the condenser. Hope this helps! Plz consider subscribing if you haven’t already :)
@What kind of warranty did you have? Powertrain? Bumper to bumper? I need to take my 2016 civic in Monday to the dealership for my AC. Only had the car 18 months and my warranty is powertrain. Online is says powertrain will only cover engine and transmission. I don't want to get side swiped with an enormous bill haha. Let me know ASAP please.. THANK YOU!!!
brian martin powertrain doesn’t cover the ac compressor. If I was you, I would take it to a independent shop that would do it much cheaper than a dealer and someone you trust to not lie to you. The only part covered under the extension warranty is the condenser AND only if it isn’t damaged by rocks.
2016 Honda that have AC issues now have a 10 year warranty due to some manufacturing errors on AC..basically free of charge for fixing any AC issues.. check with your dealer..
@@vincentgomez319 you think that would only apply if you bought at a honda dealer? I bought used from a ford dealer. Although i payed for the ultimate warranty. I believe thats 1 step below bumber to bumber
@@christopherspears6493 I am not sure about that. I got letter from Honda saying the ac warranty has been extended to 10 yrs. I think warranty should be same for used cars since its a manufacturing issue for certain model..i would check with Honda customer service!
I have the same issue you’re having my side is blowing hot and the other side is cooler I’m at 52,000 miles but I have the extended warranty 100,000miles or 5 years. You think I could do the same thing you did and have a talk with the supervisor?
BEASTIN TEBO yes. That’s what I would do. It’s either your condenser or your ac compressor. Mine just recently ended up being my ac compressor. It leaked at the front by the ac clutch where the belt is. But you can only see it if they add dye to it and let it run for a while longer. Mine took almost 9 months before I saw the leak again.
Hands On Dismantler so I had a talk with the supervisor and let him know about my warranty and best he could do is charge me $170 instead of the $450 they had quoted me at first for the to run the diagnostic and to add the dye.
BEASTIN TEBO that sounds reasonable, BUT before you take it in look at your ac condenser from the front of the car through the bumper and look for any major damage, if there is damage they won’t cover it. So it’ll save you the $170 and your time. What I mean by damage is like a rock hitting it and causing a dent or damage you can clearly see. If you notice that the little “fins” are bent. That’s ok and won’t void any warranty.
Hands On Dismantler I really appreciate the help, I’m going to go again tomorrow and see what they say, I’m also going to call Honda customer service. It’s kinda messed up that they know it’s an issue and they don’t want to own up to it completely
Yes, the issue the civic I had ended up being the compressor. Not the condenser. These civics have issues with the condenser, compressor, heater core and evap solenoid. People have been complaining of leaks at those points.
@@HandsOnDismantler You happen to know the type of connector? Also, to get the refrigerant can, copper connector, gauge, etc online can also get upto $200 or over.
Bro this generation sucks I have a 17 the AC on this cars are dropping like flies is ridiculous took mine in to the dealership twice car has 27k on it this is obviously a design flaw by Honda I'm beyond pisses should of got a Toyota ....
Had my whole system replaced by Honda dealer. Just yesterday received a letter the the mail from Honda, because of continued complaints the AC is now covered for 10 years
egcruzer nice man! Glad to hear they fixed yours! And I got the same letter, I actually just uploaded a video showing it for everyone. They’re only warranting the Ac condenser not the whole Ac system.
@@HandsOnDismantler funny how they are just doing the AC condenser I received that same letter last week when in fact the AC compressors are going out along with the evaporators SMH 🤔
@@Oaktwn16 I agree! the whole system is flawed. and the leak isnt my only issue. But I am sure their argument will be that the compressors are having issues because of the "low refrigerant" issue. which stems from the condenser. luckily these days ac compressors have a fail safe and will shut off when the refrigerant is low so it doesn't cause damage.
I have the same problem 2016 Honda Civic LX 60,000 miles. After googling the issue which there were MANY Complaints !

Beach Walker wow, yea I’ve heard about the compressors as well. It’s getting out of hand they should be covering it. Is your car not under warranty? I am %100 for the diy’er I think if you have even basic mechanical skills you should be able to knock out the replacement. I hope it works out!
Hi Alyssa check out my video on “how to find my cars refrigerant” under my civic playlist. It’ll show you how to find your cars type and I talk about it a little. 👍🏼
umefunasone together yup! They added a 10 year warranty on the condenser for 2016-2018’s. I did a short video on it once I received the paper. Thanks for taking the time to comment and watch! I appreciate it. Check out my other videos on our 10th gen civics!
@@HandsOnDismantler They charged me $460 for the refrigerant after they confirmed that the condenser was defective. I called rip-off, they said the refrigerant isn't covered in the warranty. Last time I but a Honda. Total rip-off!

Franky Solano hey franky thanks for watching! In my situation, no. Although they did try to charge me. I spoke with the manager and they agreed to cover it.
@@HandsOnDismantler Good luck with that. My 2017 Civic is in the shop as we speak and now all three main AC components have had to be replaced over the five years I've owned the car. Condenser and compressor failed and were replaced under warranty. This time it's the evaporator coil and no longer under warranty. $3000 to replace.
That happen to me and they wanted me to pay for it so i told them i have extended guarantee so they told me its the ac compressor and they will replace it. Advice just ask and dont just give up your money they supposed to replace it because it is there fault this shits just eventually just give up it isn't your fault.
@@HandsOnDismantler Bro.. Ive taken my car in so many times... The first time i had it looked at at a dealer in south dakota. They told me i had a leak because one of the seals was bad around the condenser. The second time they did an evac and leak check and came up with nothing. It came back to me still just blowing cool air, not cold air The third time i had it looked at in Mississippi. They said there was an ac recall and replaced a computer which made it work slightly better. They also told me that the last people who worked on my car over charged the system. It was still blowing cool, not cold. Now Its still not working as well as i think it should and its out of warranty now but since it had condenser problems from brand new they extended my warranty for the condenser only. Today i took it in to a dealer in Florida to have it looked at AGAIN and they wanted to charge me $145 just to look at it. They told me if it was a condenser problem they would omit the $145 charge and replace the condenser. I told him everyone has looked at it already and no one has ever fixed the problem so i said ill look at it myself and now here i am looking for answers on the internet. Like i said its blowing cool air, just not ice cold like i think it should. Also on extra hot days (90°F) it takes an extra 20 minutes to cool down and doesn't get as cool as it otherwise would. Ive also had my car worked on because of buzzing sounds coming from my transmission which they told me was a solenoid issue. They "replaced" the solinoid body and i still have the sound come back intermittently on startup. It was less often but it still came back. The whole situation is really frustrating because no one at Honda no matter where i go wants to help me out. Honda has always been the type of company to dance all around my problems and avoid actually working on my car at all costs and thats why i absolutely hate Honda.
TEXASBLAZE 101 dang man, trust me I feel you on this! Have you tried contacting a lemon law lawyer? Also look on ebay for a “leak detector black light” I just bought one for like $5 shipped. If they put leak detector dye in the ac Freon you can look for the leak your self. That’s how I saw my ac compressor was leaking. I would order the $5 light and while you’re waiting for it to be shipped contact a lemon law lawyer and let them look at your paper work, you don’t have to still be in the warranty period to qualify because your issues started when you’re under warranty. At least that’s how it works in California.
