  1. A/C system noise/whistling - lets sum all the information pals

    They only replaced condenser at most recent visit because that’s where they found a leak. They refilled refrigerant to proper levels, did a pressure check and that was it. This fix did not make the ongoing unpleasant erratic abnormal noises disappear. Still suffering The “fan”noise is moving...
  2. A/C system noise/whistling - lets sum all the information pals

    Yes I know about this, and I believe this internal fail safe technology is failed or has failed in my car. I am convinced it is failed because they rely on it 100%, that’s why they did not check the levels months ago because the “system” did not tell them too. I’m dealing with brick heads that...
  3. A/C system noise/whistling - lets sum all the information pals

    Yes, inexcusable. Common sense would dictate the refrigerant levels should have been checked months ago when the ac noise concern was first presented to them but I’m dealing with service staff with bricks for brains. Noise is obvious, it is compressor, it has failed/seized several times this...
  4. A/C system noise/whistling - lets sum all the information pals

    I have been told NUMEROUS times by local Honda service staff that the extremely unpleasant noise made when AC system is engaged has been determined as NORMAL and I have no choice but to live with it. It is NOT NORMAL and is UNACCEPTABLE and anyone that believes it is normal and acceptable has...
  5. Are heater/defroster adequate in 2019 Civic hatchback?

    Do some further research. Lots and lots and lots of threads/posts on here regarding ac concerns with 2016 - 2018 models, and I believe the 2019 models have the same ac set up. I own a 2018 ...long story short, I have suffered with the NOISE since my car turned 5 months old, and have been to the...

    Maybe ..Maybe not. I’ve read the posts so far, some have been interesting, some helpful, some not worth the read. I can edit title at anytime. What do you think the title should then? Core of the problem is at corporate level anyway. The ones we never see or hear from. They pay themselves...

    My car will be at the local dealer next week, taking it there for the engine oil dilution recall. Booked the day off so following that, making visit to dealer in another town to start the AC issue with them. Brief conversation with them they told me they did a fix to a 2016 civic, diagnosed...

    I came across another poster on here (different thread) that had same issue and got fixed at dealer. I called that dealer to find out more because I was willing to drive the 3+ hrs to get my car fixed there. I was put on phone with someone that had knowledge of this issue, had dealt with 2 cases...

    It sucks. Really sucks having this issue. And I get what you mean when you say you fear what will happen if you pursue it. I will admit, Honda has beat me down. My ordeal has not been handled well at all, but that doesn’t mean you won’t be listened too. No reason to anticipate failure if you...

    I did not expect the royal treatment for ever, foolish to think that way, they had my business, I wasn’t going anywhere else. But a mutual respect is not a lot to ask for amongst each other, is it? You know, one professional to another? Like ..don’t look down on me because there is a problem...

    You have right to an opinion, like everyone else on how it’s felt I am going about a remedy the wrong way. Sunshine beamed out of every orfus of the Honda dealer when I ordered the car right up until possession ...overboard on the royal treatment if you get what I’m saying. The sales person...

    No, not yet, but is on the list for things to do at dealer when car goes in next week for the “engine oil dilution” recall. No idea about that recall notice until it came in mail last week (see file attached). My car doesn’t seem to be showing any symptoms other than what Honda is calling “in...

    Oh I know this all too well. That’s exactly what I’m dealing with. Thanks for the tip. If it was on my dime they would have spent all the time and money in the world throwing parts at this to fix this even if they had no clue what they were doing. Trust me, I am aware. So much resistance for...
