2017 Honda Civic

I BROUGHT MY 2017 HONDA CIVIC IN FEB/2019. MY AC HAS NOT BEEN USED SINCE I BROUGHT THE CAR UNTIL IT GOT REALLY HOT WHERE I LIVE THIS MONTH. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE COMPRESSOR IS DAMAGED BECAUSE ROCKS FROM THE HIGHWAY HAS BEEN HITTING AGAINST IT. I EXPLAINED THAT I DON'T KNOW IF THE AC WAS WORKING FROM THE BEGINNING AND THAT THE CAR IS SO LOW TO THE GROUND THAT IT IS TO EXPECTED FOR ROCKS TO HIT UNDER THE CAR. THEY THEN TELL ME THAT IT WILL COST 1200 FOR ME TO GET IT FIXED. HONDA NEEDS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM AND FAST BECAUSE IT IS VERY HOT.

THE A/C STOPPED WORKING AT 2 YEARS, 4 MONTHS, BUT AS I AM AT 41,000 MILES, IT IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. I NOTICED IT WHEN DRIVING ON SATURDAY, 6/29/19 THAT THE A/C WAS NO LONGER BLOWING COLD AIR; THIS WAS ON A DAY WHERE THE TEMPERATURE OUTSIDE WAS 99 IN NORTH CAROLINA. THE DEALERSHIP INDICATES THAT THE THERE ARE BAD SEALS ON THE COMPRESSOR. THEY HAVE QUOTED ME $2,100 TO REPLACE THE COMPRESSOR AND ADD FREON TO IT. I HAVE SEEN MANY HONDA OWNERS (2016-2017) COMPLAIN OF THIS ISSUE AND AM WONDERING IF THERE'S ANY WAY TO FORCE HONDA TO PAY FOR THESE BAD COMPRESSORS?

PURCHASED 2017 HONDA CIVIC NEW FROM DEALERSHIP WITH STANDARD NEW CAR WARRANTY. AT 41,000 MILES AIR CONDITIONING STOPPED WORKING. BROUGH VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD NEW COMPRESSOR WAS NEEDED AND REPAIR WOULD COST $986 + TAX. BOUGHT VEHICLE BECAUSE OF REPUTATION FOR RELIABILITY. SOMETHING LIKE THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE AND DEALERSHIP EVEN ADMITTED THAT THERE HAS BEEN A SEVERE PROBLEM WITH AIR CONDITIONING COMPRESSORS FOR THIS PARTICULAR YEAR AND MAKE VEHICLE. AFTER SEARCHING INTERNET FOR INFORMATION I CAME TO REALIZE THAT THIS IS TRUE AND WONDERED HOW MANY OTHER CONSUMERS WERE FACED WITH THE SAME TYPE REPAIR COSTING OVER $1,000? FILING THIS COMPLAINT SO THAT WORD GETS OUT AND SOMEONE CAN FINALLY HOLD HONDA ACCOUNTABLE FOR SELLING A PRODUCT WITH A KNOWN DEFECTIVE COMPONENT

10TH GENERATION 2017 HONDA CIVIC LX SEDAN: FIRST REPORTED TO THE HONDA DEALER IN MAY 2018, THE TRUNK MYSTERIOUSLY OPENS WITHOUT ANY OWNER INTERACTION. HAVE GONE INSIDE OUR HOME ONLY TO COME OUT IN THE MORNING TO FIND THE TRUNK OPEN. JUST RECENTLY, IN THE LAST WEEK OF MARCH 2019, THE HONDA DEALER HAD THE CAR AGAIN AND WAS NOT ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THEN ON SUNDAY, MARCH 31, 2019, THE PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN. WE BELIEVE THIS TO BE AN UNDER-REPORTED PROBLEM AS SOME OWNERS MAY THINK THEY ACCIDENTLY ACTIVATED THE REMOTE KEY FOB. THIS PROBLEM HAS SHOWN UP IN THE HONDA CIVIC OWNERS FORUM ON CIVICX.COM.

SUN VISORS (WHEN STARTING FROM THE DOOR/WINDOW) SWING WHEN MAKING A TURN. THIS CAN STARTLE THE DRIVER IN THE PROCESS OF MAKING A TURN WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC. MORE DETAILS: BOTH SUN VISORS DO NOT STAY FIXED WHEN TURNED TO BE NEXT TO THE DOOR WINDOW. EXAMPLE, WHEN THE DRIVER PUTS THE VISOR NEXT TO THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW AND MAKES A LEFT TURN THE VISOR HITS DRIVER IN THE HEAD. IT'S MORE PRONOUNCED WHEN THE VISOR IS EXTENDED.

MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN HAVING ISSUE WITH THE A/C FOR A COUPLE OF WEEK. TWO DAY AGO MY A/C STOP WORKING SO I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL HONDA DEALER TO TAKE A LOOK AT IT. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE A/C COMPRESSOR HAS FAILED AND IT'S NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY DUE TO MY CAR HAVING 41K MILES. I TRIED TO EXPLAIN THAT THE CAR IS ONLY A YEAR OLD. THEY (DEALERSHIP) DID NOT WANT TO COVER IT UNDER WARRANTY DUE TO THE MILES. THE REPAIR COST WAS $1,500. I HAVE READ ONLINE THAT SEVERAL BUYER HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM. THE DEALER ALSO MENTION THAT THEY HAVE BEEN RECEIVING A LOT OF CARS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE REGARDING THIS ISSUE. ALSO, I FORGOT TO MENTION THAT THE A/C TRIGGERED SOMETHING IN MY VEHICLE THAT WOULD NOT LET IT START FOR SEVERAL HOURS. THE CAR WAS PARKED WHEN THIS OCCURRED. I BELIEVE A RECALL ON THE A/C IS ENTITLED.
