What owners wrote

“The 10th generation Honda Civic's have multiple extended warranties from Honda for bad Air Compressors and Condensers. And the A/C Evaporator needs to be included in this. My car only has 60,000 miles on it, is not driven daily, and my A/C Evaporator is leaking Freon due to a bad part. The parts for these A/C systems were designed poorly and degrade too quickly.”

“Cooling issue. Air conditioning not cooling down. Coolant and freon full. No one knows why the car ac wont work above 80°f. One side of car is semi cool other not at all blows hot air.”

“Honda Service Bulletin 19-091 Warranty Extension : A/C Condenser Leaking My vehicle began to blow hot air on the driver side. No warning lights or service light warned me. I need to understand if my car is covered by the HONDA Service Bulletin 19-091”

“The AC is not working, I took it to a repair shop and they replaced the air conditioner. They charged $1800. Under the 6 month warranty I took it back because it was not cooling, the repair shop said the car had little holes near the condenser which drained out the Freon, they filled it again with Freon”

This page can't tell you that. 0 of 132 reports involved a crash and 1 people were hurt. Owners who file are the ones who had a bad experience, and nobody checks their reports. If the problem affects steering, braking, power or a fire risk, treat it as a safety fault and have it inspected before a long or high-speed drive.

File your own report with NHTSA. Complaint counts are how a problem gets an investigation.
