Short version
Last week I brought my 2016 (75,352 miles) Touring into the Honda Dealership because the AC isn't working. They say it's the condenser and it's covered under the extended warranty, but they have to order the part. Yesterday I bring it in to get it replaced, they do the work, but now they say the compressor is bad. $1,800.00 to do the job because it's not covered under the extended warranty.
Long version
May 2019 - 57,277 miles - Bing car into Honda, A/C isn't working, dealed charged freon - Warranty repair
June 2019 - 58,490 miles - Bring car back because A/C isn't working again. Dealer replaces compressor. - Warranty repair
July 2019 - 59,784 miles - Bring car back because A/C isn't working again. Dealer replaces condenser. - Warranty repair
Nov 2019 - Receive warranty extension letter from Honda for condenser
Aug 2020 - 75,352 miles - Bring car back because A/C isn't working again. Dealer replaces condenser under the extended warranty. But now they say the compressor is bad. It's not covered under the extended warranty AND there is only a 12 warranty on the part they replace in June of last year. I call Honda corporate to see what they can do. Honda pulls my recorcords and can see every Honda and Acura I've owned for the past 26 years. All service records are immaculate. They tell me the same thing the dealer told me, out of warranty, too bad, sorry, we're not going to do anything to help you out. I call the dealer back, they want $1,800.00 to replace the compressor. I told them no way, not on a part that is year old and a car that is 4 years old. This part should not fail, AT ALL! I pick up the car and drive it home and the A/C is working, air is cold as ice.
So what is everyones thoughts? Is the compressor bad?
