Hi everyone, I'm new to this forum. Just bought my new 2016 EX-T on Memorial Day. Got a great deal and love the car. Strange thing is happening though and wanted to see if anyone else is experiencing this issue. I was driving home in bumper to bumper traffic Tuesday evening. The car was in econ mode and I was sitting in stopped traffic. Outside temp was around 90 and the A/C stopped blowing cold air. I thought that was odd so I tried turning off econ mode and still the same issue. No matter what temperature setting I set it to or how fast or slow I set the fan speed there was no cold air at all. Felt like the compressor wasn't kicking on. Then it would intermittently blow cold and hot air, regardless of whether I was moving or sitting still. I immediately took it to the dealer and they couldn't find anything wrong. Got the car back on Wednesday evening and it did the exact same thing on my drive home Thursday evening. Took it to the dealer again last night. This time the service rep said that it's because I started the vehicle with econ mode on and that it stays in that mode until I park the car, turn off eco mode and then restart the vehicle. I said to the service advisor "so essentially what you're telling me is I can't switch the mode on or off on the fly?" And he said yes, that's what the Honda Tech Line told him. We continued discussing it and eventually he was just as confused about the issue as I was. Does this sound right you guys? Is anyone else experiencing this? I'm driving a 2015 Civic as a loaner and am not experiencing any issues with the econ mode on it. I love my new Civic but I'm perplexed about this issue.
