I just purchased a new 2022 Pilot (180 miles) early June. The AC does not blow crisp cold air. The inside of the vent temperature should be as low as 44 so when it blows out of the vent its 58 degrees as shown on the dashboard of the car. On the new 2022 Pilot, the lowest it reads is an internal vent temperature of 58. The weather here is only going to get hotter and more humid, and now I have a car that its uncomfortable to ride in for long distances because the inside temperature is too hot, because the AC is blowing warm air, not cold air.
I’ve taken it into the dealership 3 times so far for them to fix it. The last visit I was told by Honda Service department that this was the way this car was designed and there is nothing they can do. Excuse me, that response is unacceptable. The dash board clearly states what that vehicle is capable of, and that is the expectation us consumers expect. Otherwise, it’s false advertising.
If the AC only runs at its optimal best in a set of certain parameters, then Honda need to have consumers sign a waiver prior to purchasing the vehicle acknowledging that if you live in certain climates, you may experience XYZ situations arise with your AC and Heater, then us consumers can make an informed decision whether or not we want to purchase that vehicle.
Had I known this, I would not have purchase the new 2022 Honda Pilot. Word of warning to all consumers - take a thermometer with you and test the AC if you live in a hot humid climate.
