Hello everybody,
I got 2018 Honda Civic Touring on November 2017 . It was a okay car but really tired with the couple of issues I had with the car over the past two years. One big problem was the oil dilution which is a huge problem here in Canada. Time to time, the cabin was smelling oil.
Anyways, fast forward, two days ago I was driving my car to see a friend and realized that the A/C is blowing cold although the engine was running over 20 mins. I was surprised. I asked to a friend. He told me to check the anti-free. The next day morning, I checked the anti-freeze level. I did and SHOCKED. There was none!
I added some anti-freeze and the A/C started to work normally — blowing hot. Yesterday, after I dropped my wife to work, I realized the same thing continues to happen. A/C was blowing cold again!!!!
I took my car to the dealer that I purchased. They told me that they will check the car — and if there is anything relating driver error/mistake, I would have to pay otherwise the car is still under warranty (I have about 54k)
In an hour so, I got a call from the dealer. The guy sounded shocked and told me that there are serious problems with the car. The anti-freeze got mixed with the transmission oil and some part of the transmission got broken! Also, a lot of wires got burnt in the transmission. They gave me a list of items that they will change. These are:
This is incredible.
They told me that it would take them up to 3 weeks to fix everything. They opened a case file and they gave me a loaner car.
I am not sure what I should do now. I was thinking to contact to Honda to see if they can give me special offer — considering all the issues. Or sell the car.
What is your suggestion?
