- 2016 Civic EXT
The exact same thing has just happened to my car with 40,050 miles here in hot So. Cal. Warm air out of drivers side vents, then whole system went warm a week later. Out of warranty and dealer wants $145 diagnostic fee. Im pretty pissed and not sure what to do at the moment.Add me to the club. My 2016 Civic Touring 40,300 miles recently went in for a checkup and they took 6 hours to tell me that:
- Condenser and compressor need to be replaced. No sign of road damage.
- I had reported an additional symptom that the driver side is blowing hot whereas passenger side is maybe 5 degrees cooler (still not COLD). Service Advisor stated that even after replacing the AC components, there may be an issue inside the dashboard near driver side that would continue to prevent adequate AC flow. She referenced an "article", but I can't find it.
On top of all of this the parts are "backordered for months", so they can't even do the [quoted] almost $1800 repair if I wanted to pay it.
Service Advisor "sent an email to Honda Corporate" to ask for some good will assistance, but she hasn't heard back from them yet.
So here I am, Southern California, waiting to hear back if I should be selling my not even 4 year old Civic and going somewhere else. Disappointing. It's been such an awesome car.
