Not yet. The compressor is now in and they are installing it today. I might have it back today or tomorrow. Will provide an update once I get my vehicle back.

Let ours sit w a/c running yesterday and today once I got to dealership to drop it off. It sat for over 20 mins and the air stayed cold and worked fine. Figures. It wasn't nearly as hot this morning as it was over the weekend when it malfunctioned so we are holding on to it to c if it doesn't it again when it gets really hot again.

Here's a question for you guys, just so I can understand what is normal operation because I don't think my car is normal.
Auto climate control... If it's hot out and you set the temp to low and hit auto shouldn't it turn on the A/C and then turn the fan speed to max?
My car will not. Turns fan speed up, but A/C off when you hit auto.... Doesn't make sense to me. I have to manually turn on the A/C every time, and if at any point I hit auto the A/C turns off. Kinda defeats the purpose of automatic climate control when it's hot out right?
My A/C seems to be working fine when I am driving, sitting still it doesn't feel that cold to me. It should be able to idle and cool the car regardless of temperature right?

Are you in econ mode? That will significantly affect the AC at idle (and driving speeds, but it's less noticeable to me while I'm driving) to try and minimize fuel usage.

Update - picked up my EX-T yesterday evening. So far so good but the temps outside are only mid 70s and overcast. I'm going to drive it over the next few days as the weather gets warmer and will let everyone know if the replacement compressor fixed the issue. Fingers crossed.

Crap you guys, please keep updating! I've narrowed my purchase down to the Civic EX-T or a Golf SE/GTI. I live in Phoenix so AC is life/death...I really loved the Civic so crossing my fingers.

Even though the issues people here are reporting seem scary, the problems are affecting an extremely small percentage of owners. It just seems worse since they are all gathered in 1 model-specific forum.

What's the cost difference between them? The Golfs were nice, but just didn't feel 'right' (Coming from a Passat, and I've owned a Golf before). The Civic had that feeling, though it doesn't feel as solid. For $10k in the difference, I figured I'd give Honda a try!

I'm right there with ya brother. I've been using mine the past week a bunch, but normally I just put the windows down and go. Cracks me up to see people with their windows up, and the AC cranked on those 75-80° days. I use mine when it's above 90°, or if my wife's in the car, but that's about it. Even my son prefers the windows down alot.
