Need some advice from you guys!
Back in JUNE OF 2020, I had my 2017 Honda Civic Hatchback serviced through Honda Hayward due to a "pierced" A/C Condenser. For some reason at the time, they said that the extended warranty for the AC Condensers did not apply to my civic, so I had to pay out of pocket, around $1500!
THIS MONTH (JUNE 2021), the A/C started acting up again, and for some reason, the driver side is now blowing hotter air while passenger side is still somewhat cold.
I was in Stockton California at the time so I did a walk in service and they diagnosed that the COMPRESSOR is broken and that it has to be replaced.
They were saying something about a leak, which is very weird considering the car is only 4 years old! They also said that they had double checked the VIN on my car and apparently it is now also covered by the extended warranty!
THEY QUOTED ME $2965.27 PLUS TAX!(see attachment)
they also told me to call honda care to see if I can get the reimbursement for the condenser which I already payed for.
I definitely did my research here at civicx; some got their service 100% covered, while some said honda corp payed for up to 90%. Some also had to pay out of pocket. Some said they'll only cover for the A/C Condenser, but not compressor or the leaks??
I REALLY DO NOT WANT TO PAY $2965.27 for a faulty compressor! for what I know, this could've all happened all the way from the time they had those problems with the A/C Condenser that gradually messed up the compressor! Paying last years' service and this one would mean I'm spending almost $5000 for A/C service in ONE YEAR on a car that's only 4 years old! it's ridiculous!
I have two other cars; 2001 Toyota Sequoia & a 2005 Dodge Caravan; NONE OF THEM HAVE HAD PROBLEMS with A/C besides the occational refriferant refill! no damage to the A/C Condenser or even the Compressor!
IF ANYONE CAN GIVE ME ADVICE AS TO ESCALATE THIS AND NOT PAY, PLEASE HELP!
****also, if anyone knows an honest dealership here in the BAY AREA in CALIFORNIA that could help me with this, I would really appreciate it!
