Consumer Description

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. *TR
