Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2008 HONDA CIVIC, THE A/C WORKS INTERMITTENTLY, SOMETIMES IT COOLS SOMETIMES IT DOES NOT. I HAVE IT CHECKED BY A DEALERSHIP AND A FIRESTONE SHOP, THEY SAID THE 'FREON' LEVEL AND PRESSURE IS OK AND BOTH RECOMMENDED REPLACING THE COMPRESSOR, ETC. IF THE COMPRESSOR IS BROKEN THEN WHY DOES IT STILL WORK (ON AND OFF)? I'VE READ IN SOME OF THE FORUMS THAT THERE ARE A LOT OF HONDA CIVIC 2008 OWNERS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. IS THERE A RECALL OR CLASS-ACTION COMPLAINT ABOUT THIS? IS THERE A FIX WHERE YOU DON'T NEED TO SPEND TONS OF MONEY ON IT? *TR
