Don't keep running the AC system as it sounds like you might have low refrigerant. I have a 2016 ex-t and had similar behavior. The condenser had a hole in it and all the refrigerant leaked out. The condenser is covered by Honda under an extended warranty. The AC system wasn't manufactured by...

100% normal and has been asked about on these forums since the 10th gen was released. When doing a sudden stop and depending on where the cvt gear ratio is, it will have to aggressively adjust that ratio and it leads to a jerk.

They were going to charge me $80 for a diagnostic fee and about $300 to add refrigerant with the dye to find the leak. Luckily they saw the hole in the condenser when adding the refrigerant and I didn't get charged.

Yes this is common but I think more people are having issues with leaks in the condenser which then leads to compressor failures. I would have them check for leaks on the condenser otherwise your compressor will just fail again once all the refrigerant leaks out through the condenser. Issues...

I recently had the condenser replaced. I bought the car in October 2016 and only had 28000 miles when I noticed no cold air. It's possible condenser had been leaking for awhile but I have been working from home and driving less than 10 miles a week for over a year now. On the first hot day of...

No they didn't say where it was leaking. All they said was it was obvious once they checked for dye. If you can get a UV light assuming UV dye was used maybe you can try to look for leaks. The other thing to mention is that the evaporator also develops leaks in this model so it's possible you...

Small hole was found in the condenser. Luckily tech checked as the refrigerant was being added and saw the dye leak. They happened to have a new condenser available so they put that in and AC is blowing cold again. This work was covered in full under the Honda warranty extension for the...

Well they found the leak during the recharge in the condenser. So no charge now.

2016 honda civic ex-t, 29000 miles. Ac started blowing hot air. Made an appointment at dealer and dealer claimed they could not find any issues with condenser etc but there was no refrigerant in system. They recommended a dye test be done for $336 including a diagnostic fee to recharge and add...

I do have the 1.5 liter. I don't have the ability to get under the car to take pictures at the moment and I didn't take any pictures before the warranty work, sorry. I never really heard any sounds. This was a surprise when the dealer pointed it out during routine oil change. I believe they...

Had my warranty work done today. Here is the write up. It was supposed to be done last Friday but one of the parts they ordered was defective. This was all covered under an extended warranty at no cost to me.

Same issue here. I was getting an oil change at the dealership today and they pointed it out. Right Axle seal is leaking. Luckily I have the extended warranty that is covering it. The car is 3 years old with 24,000 miles on it. My appointment to get the warranty work done is a week away. The...

These types of posts pop up here every now and then from people that are not used to a CVT transmission and turbo lag. It does take some time to get used to. I have had the car for over 2 years and I still occasionally get an unexpected turbo boost that I was not expecting that sends the revs...

I have had this car for 2 years/15000 miles. What you are experiencing is normal. At low speeds the CVT will kinda "jerk" as the ratios change due to acceleration at low speeds. I've only ever had this at low speeds like you said. It seems while the car is moving slow, giving it gas causes...

It did fix itself at the next fill-up where I was closer to empty I believe. But the range was completely wrong until then and gauge seemed a few bars off.

My understanding is that the factory oil has additives to help with engine break in so I would not recommend changing early. I changed at 7500 miles and now I'm at 12500. No issues.

Just curious why you think a safety issue with the emergency parking break wouldn't lead to an immediate recall (like it already has when it was possible it wouldn't engage after turning the car off too quickly)? The "Electronic Brake System Problem" message that the OP was referring to and that...

Yes I have had this issue. I started the car and the message pops up saying Electronic Brake System Problem. The brake was not engaged at the time. Had to shutdown and restart to make it go away. Only thing I can I think is that this will happen if you don't use the E-Brake for long periods of...

Yea I was just reading through the other thread under General. Without testing the actual temps coming out of my vents, the fans and heat definitely go down over time. My commute is about 15 minutes, and by the end of it the fans are barely running but heat is still coming out of the vents if I...

My understanding is that the auto climate controls do not set the temperature coming out of the vents at the specified temperature. The system is trying to reach that temperature over time. If you get in the car in the morning and your cabin temperature is 40 degrees and you have the system on...
