Consumer Description

THE AC SYSTEM HAS SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING. GOING INTO THE HOT SUMMER MONTHS THE AC SYSTEM OCCASIONALLY BLOWS COLD AIR BUT QUICKLY SWITCHES TO HOT AIR WHEN DRIVING FOR EXTENDED PERIODS (OVER 10 MINUTES). THIS IS NOT ONLY A HUGE INCONVENIENCE IN 80+ DEGREE WEATHER, BUT ALSO A SAFETY CONCERN WITH EXCESSIVE HEAT CIRCULATING IN THE CAR IN THE HOT SUMMER MONTHS. I HAVE TRIED TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM BY CHECKING FREON COMPRESSOR AND CONDENSER BUT NOTHING GIVES. THIS SEEMS TO BE A MAJOR ISSUE ON 2016 MANUFACTURING FOR CIVICS AND CRV'S.
