Hi Guys,
I am now suspecting the A/C system might have issue in my 2020 civic hatch EX. The symptom is that the A/C blows only cool air in the first 10 mins after starting. Today, I use a car thermometer to test it. The temperature records I got is 60-65°F in the first 5 mins, around 55°F in the 10th min, and around 50°F after 15 mins (stable after that point). Do you guys have any idea about it? (BTW, outside is 85-90°F and no direct sunlight). It is not warm or hot at all, but I just don't think it is cold as it was and the cooling speed is slow. Sometimes, I can even hear the hissing noise from the A/C but it is very rare.
It is only 18 months and 10k miles. I think it is under warranty. Anyone knows if they will charge a fee to diagnose the A/C without repairing work? I know if there is anything need to repair, it will be covered. But, my dealer just didn't like to solve my issues. I got an audio unit's long starting time issue and a window's rolling speed issue before, and they just took a look and say "Okay, they are just normal. We can't fix that... balabala".
It will be appreciated if you can leave your A/C temp with Lo and recirc settings. I would also like to know how long you guys' cars to blow ice-cold air and make the cabin cool when starting in summer.
