My car was parked in the parking lot and was hit in the driver's door part while I wasn't in the vehicle, whoever did it, did't leave a note or anything saying or explaining what happened.
2018 Honda Civic LX condenser leaked out all its freon. Condenser has no damage from foreign objects or impact. Vehicle is only two thousand miles out of warranty. Many other similar vehicles have condenser recalls but Honda refuses to pay for repairs because they say my VIN is not on the list.
Since shortly after I got my car, brand new, it started to stall a little bit as I went to turn, if I had to stop or slow down beforehand. It got worse as time went on. I told Honda before my first year was up and he told me to just take off eco. I did, but eventually it started doing that without eco. I'm afraid it's gonna do that when I have to turn left onto a busy road and not be able to get out of the way fast enough. Both eco and non eco should work efficiently. The date below is an estimate of when it started. It's been a couple years.
I was in the freeway when something sounded from the outside of my car like three times, I wondered what it was and after I parked the car I saw my sunroof broken.

Car is babied. A/C died completely at 21K miles and 14 months of ownership. Many other Civic owners are reporting same issue. Tsb exists but recall is not yet created. This should be recalled and warranty for the specific system extended.
The air condenser is leaking. Although there is a recall on 2016-2018 Honda Civics, my car for the same failure was not covered. I was charged $ 500 for freon refill but still, there is a leak and would cost me more than $1000 to repair.
Air conditioner has stopped working. Blowing out muggy or hot air instead of cold air. This happens when being stationary and driving on roadways. This is a safety issue to driver and passengers. It was also know problem to Honda and they did nothing to tell potential buyers about the known issue. There is also a class action suit. According to the class action it involves 2016-2018 Honda Civics. The only action Honda took was extend the warranty to 10 years and unlimited mileage. They never notified me of this warranty. I called the dealer and they need to do a diagnostic test before even looking at the air conditioner. First why should there be a diagnostic test done. Nothing in the service bulletin (tsb) 19-091 concerning A/C condensers that came from the factory defective in 2016-2018 Honda Civics never mentions a diagnostic be completed first. Why should I have to pay for anything since Honda knew about this issue! there should be a recall, and repair issued to dealers at no extra cost to the customer.. I have only had my car for 2 years.
I started the vehicle. Monitor screen was all black (radio/ ac control panel). Turned car off to see if screen would reset. I tried button to see if side turn camera would turn on or reset issue. It did not. Drove 26 miles screen all black. No side turn blinker. No radio. Parked restarted car 4 more times. Screen still all black. Error code appeared stating 'dalauncher isn't responding. Would you like to close it'
The air conditioning unit does not workin my 2018 Honda Civic has a leaky condenser. Honda said that this is a known issue for 2018 Honda Civics and a 10 year extended warranty was offered (tsb 19-091); however, it does not cover the VIN series of my 2018 Honda Civic. I wanted to log this issue for others that are having the same issue as it makes the car pretty much inoperable on hot days and Honda's response is nonsensical given that other 2018 Honda Civics are covered for the exact same problem. There is no guarantee that if an extended warranty is issued after I pay for the repair that I will be reimbursed.
All of a sudden A/C stopped pushing cold air, and it is summer 92 degrees today. I have an autonomic dysfunction in which exposure to heat drastically lowers my blood pressure to a dangerous level. I've heard from local Honda dealership that my condenser is leaking and needs to be replaced along with coils and clutch. How can this be happening to a car with less than 9,000 miles? these parts are in critical shortage as this issue is happening in many Honda Civics.
I recently bought my Civic 2018 last yr and the ac was fine until now that it started blowing hot air on the driver side. The passenger side still blows cool air. But the driver side is super hot! it not working properly with this weather of 100 degrees and more!
I bought this car brand new in 2018. Now it has 7,000 miles. My A/C unit doesn't work. Blows hot air. After looking into this online, there are hundreds of people having the same problem including my son. I don't know what to do now. As makes crackling noise as I turned on the A/C. please help.
Ac started making noise one year from purchase. Kept complaining to dealer about noise and they would tell me there was no problem. They finally heard it, fixed the noise (compressor issue), but now ac is not cooling. Have taken it twice to dealer and the problem is still not fixed (they don't know what it is). I'm paying for a defective car that Honda's own dealers cannot fix!
Without warning or when I come out to my call, all the windows are rolled down, and the sunroof is open. I have been repeatedly told by the dealership that this is an operator error and that the function on my key fob must have been accidently pressed. However, this issue has happened when the key fob is nowhere near the vehicle. This issue has occurred three times at home where I keep the key fob at least 30 yards away from the vehicle. In addition, the issue has occurred twice at work where the vehicle is over 50 yards away and must pass through 1.5 feet of concrete to send a signal to the car. In addition, the numerous times (I have lost count) the trunk will open without activating the key fob of depressing the knob in the car. Again, I have been told by dealers that it is operator error. However, each time this occurs, the key fob is in my hand on the way to the car or in the console area where it is not being touched by me or by anything else. It has occurred in my driveway and once while the car was in motion'causing me to quickly pull over so the contents of the trunk do not fly out and hit someone. Besides the obvious safety and security issue, this problem has caused a great deal of water damage to the interior of the vehicle and may have gotten into the electrical system via the hands-free system in the console and the usb port in the center compartment'both of which were covered in water during this past incident when it was heavily raining. I have been told by the dealership that these are flukes, and Honda has not and will not make it possible to disable this feature. The 200+ complaints/reports on the NHTSA website indicates to me that it is not a fluke. As the owner, I should be able to be disable this feature so further damages, safety, and security are not an issue. The Honda Civic in question is less than two years old.
This past summer (summer of 2019) my wife's 2018 Honda Civic's air conditioning system began to lose its ability to cool air gradually, until in the middle of the hottest month of the year, it stopped completely. Because it is a lease, I then took the vehicle to our home Honda service center.they refused to cover costs allegedly because the malfunction had been caused by road debris on the condenser. Fast forward to November, I receive a letter in the mail stating that there is a recall on 2018 Civic condensers. It was clear to me then, that the malfunction was due to a manufacturing defect, and not due to my wife going off-roading (which she doesn't do lol). I became hopeful that Honda would reimburse me (over $800). After going back and forth for two months, I just received a call in which they advised me that due to the nature of the malfunction (having been caused by "road debris" supposedly), Honda would not reimburse me. I have clearly been taken advantage of.
My 2018 Honda Civic is less than a year old and has around 5,000 miles. I drove 25 minutes to pick up my daughter. I parked on a city street. Immediately, as I shifted the car into park, people on the street started screaming at me to get out of the car because it was on fire. The underneath of the car was on fire. As I waited for the police and fire department, the fire spread to the entire front end of the car and engulfed it. The car was totaled. They told me that the fire was caused by something mechanical. There is a police report but I have not been able to obtain a copy yet. I didn't have any issues/problems with the car leading up to the fire.
I purchased a 2018 brand new Civic. Only had 15 miles on it. I only have had it now for four months and I can very confidently say this car is a lemon. The moon roof quit working. It just stopped working. Took it to aiken Honda and after four hours and two men working on it they tried to say it was a rock in it and they produced me a rock bigger than a fifty cent piece. There's no way that giant rock was in my moon roof. I would of seen it when I attempted to fix it myself. I think they just picked up one of the river rocks that are in their parking lot planters. (that's what it looked like, ironic huh? not to me because this Honda is the one who sold me this lemon along with scamming me out of 30,000. Do not shop here) so they refused to fix the moon roof. Even tho they made me without my concent purchase 3 warrantys (had no clue)) also the mechanical seat has some sort of defect that is kind of scary. If you go all the way back and lean all the way back (as to not hit the airbag and not lay down) it makes an awful ding noise in the seat that can be felt as if a giant spring is popping under the seat cushion and you can literally feel it hit hard. As if it might pop thru the seat into your butt cheek... scared
