Description of the problem | I purchase my 2017 honda civic in november of 2016. Soon after its warranty expired the air conditioner began getting warmer and not cooling down as much. The driver's side now blows either hot or warm air and the passenger's side blows cool but not cold air. The coolest the air gets coming from the passenger side vents is 61f but the passenger compartment barely cools down on warm and hot days. The air is supposed to be around 45f as it exits the vents. I purchased the vehicle with the expectation that i could cool the passenger compartment on hot days. Driving in the heat makes me sleepy. I called my local honda dealership and they wanted close to $400 dollars just to diagnose the problem and the cost could go up significantly depending on the problem. This should not happen so soon to a new car. I had a 2000 civic for 17 years and never had a problem with the ac. I found online that many other people are having this difficulty. A recall should be issued. With the ac problem the defroster now doesn't not work as well as it had done when the car was new. This increases the risk of an accident because clear windows are necessary to drive safely. The date i entered below is the approximate the date i noticed the ac was not working correctly. |
