Chalk up another AC issue with the 10th gen Civc. I've got a 2017 Si coupe with 25K and the AC just went out. As luck would have it, the 3year/36K warranty expired at the end of June. Fortunately due the extended warranty American Honda put on the condenser, that item was covered, but the compressor also failed and that was not part of the extended coverage.
Without fixing both components there would be be no working AC.
After receiving an estimate for $1600 to fix it, I pleaded with the service manager to place a call to American Honda which he was able to get them to cover 85% or $1325 of it.
$275 later I am grateful the AC is now been fixed at a discount, but this is a major on going issue with with multiple vehicle models experiencing this exact same thing. Not only with other Civics 16' - 18' but also with the CRV's too.
In many of these instances the condenser and compressor are equally failing.
What gives Honda, your faulty parts are only partially covered? How about a recall for both?
I purchased a Honda for its reliability/ solid service guarantee and now that's in question.
