weak ac anyone?

[joecat66]

today it was in the high to low 80s and very humid over the course of my commute home and my AC sucked! I had it turned so far down the numbers changed to Lo. Confirmed when I moved my wife's car (VW passat) from the driveway to get mine in the garage and instantly was blasted w/ice cold air. Anyone else have theirs start to fail after only 20k? Almost forgot the other day Crazy cold air was coming out of the center right side vent to the point I could see it like an open freezer...it stopped or i stopped it not sure as it did not seem like a big deal at the time...hard to tell if it was a coincidence (haven't really needed icey ac) since this has been a mild summer here.

Had a heat index of 104 here today and it had no problem. I always hit the auto button but then have to decrease the fan speed after a few minutes because it starts getting too cold. 5k miles on my 2020.

I saw someone post here that his Type R’s A/C failed at 4000 miles.

I just got my car with 24k on it, and I feel like the AC could be colder too. Which worries me because im coming from a beater that didnt have ac lol. I think i've heard of others having the same issue and the a/cs are known to be shitty. I wonder if an a/c recharge would work or if it's the condenser itself. Maybe someone with more experience can chime in.

Get an appointment with your dealership service department ASAP. Do not run your A/C at all until then. You don’t want to damage your compressor by running it with low refrigerant.

Good time to utilize the open all windows trick with your key fob when you walk to your car. You’ll need them open.

It's alarmingly common in '16s-'18s. Been one of the most consistent complaints here.

The AC condenser is crap and Honda is doing warranty on the AC. Take it to the dealership ASAP.

I got a letter in the mail from Honda several months ago about the AC being recalled. My Si was blowing warm air so I took it in just before the 34K mark. They covered it in full. New evaporator coil and condensor unit. It is a very common issue with these cars.
