    If I could give 0 stars I would. I have had non-stop problems with my 2018 Honda Civic's air conditioning system for the last three years. Honda Corporate is refusing to replace the evaporator free of charge and extend the warranty, even though I've read countless reports on line about this being a COMMON problem. I will never buy another Honda.

    I have a 2016 Honda Civic with currently 70800 mileage. I am so disappointed with Honda customer service I dealt with recently regarding AC problem. The AC problem kept bothering me many years, either not strong or no AC working. I first brought it to Honda dealership last year to fix it. After they fixed it, it was working. However, this August, the air conditioning stopped working completely. I returned to the dealership, where I was informed that the AC evaporator needed to be replaced. The total cost for this repair was $2,496.65. I am shocked and upset by this expensive repair, especially on a vehicle that is only 9 years old with 72800 miles. I had to get it replaced. when I requested a reimbursement for the cost, they declined it.

    I previously owned a Toyota Camry and Nissan Sentra for over ten years and 120,000 miles without ever experiencing a similar issue. This has significantly damaged my confidence in the quality and reliability of Honda vehicles. I've also heard from a lot of 2016 Honda Civic owners who have reported the same AC problems. Given the widespread nature of this issue, it appears to be a potential defect customer shouldn't have beard. This experience completely ruins my reputation to Honda.

      I purchased a 2023 Honda Civic Type R FL5 at 20,000 miles, expecting Honda's reliability. Instead, I've experienced multiple critical safety failures that could have been fatal, along with Honda Corporate's complete abandonment of customer support. SAFETY FAILURES WITHIN 7,000 MILES: Coolant Reservoir Leak (24,000 miles): Discovered coolant leak that could have led to engine overheating and roadside breakdown. For a car barely broken in, this indicates serious manufacturing defects.

      BRAKE SYSTEM FAILURE (26,000 miles): Complete brake failure that nearly caused a serious accident. This is absolutely unacceptable on any vehicle, let alone a performance car where braking is critical. Honda's brake system failed catastrophically with minimal mileage. EPS Gearbox Failure (27,000 miles): Electric power steering system completely failed, making the vehicle dangerous to drive and requiring complete replacement. Brake Hose Failure (Current): Additional brake system components failing, indicating systemic problems with Honda's brake engineering.

      HONDA CORPORATE'S DISGRACEFUL RESPONSE: After these repeated safety failures, I've been without transportation for nearly a MONTH while Honda "diagnoses" problems on a car with 27,000 miles. When I requested basic transportation assistance: Only provided a loaner for ONE WEEK during a month-long repair for "critical backordered parts". Honda Corporate told me loaner cars are "optional" since dealerships are "independently owned". Essentially abandoned me without transportation while they figure out their own manufacturing defects.

      THE REAL ISSUE: This isn't just about one defective car - it's about Honda's corporate culture that prioritizes profit over customer safety. When their manufacturing defects leave customers stranded, they hide behind "independent dealership" policies to avoid responsibility. WARNING TO POTENTIAL BUYERS: Honda's build quality has seriously deteriorated. Multiple critical safety systems can fail simultaneously. Honda Corporate will abandon you when their products fail. "Independently owned dealerships" is Honda's excuse to avoid customer support.

      I trusted Honda's reputation and nearly paid with my safety. The brake failure could have killed me or innocent drivers. Honda's response shows they don't care about customer safety once they have your money. Save your money and your life - buy from a manufacturer that stands behind their products and prioritizes customer safety over corporate profits.

      This is my second A/C compressor that has failed in 2 years on my 2019 Honda Civic - this time they are saying the condenser and evaporator have failed too. They want $4500 to repair even though I paid $3000 2 years ago to repair my compressor. Honda said they won't cover it with Goodwill assistance even though there is an extended warranty on the compressor because they know their parts A/C parts on faulty in certain vehicles. Honda used to be a reputable company. I would recommend STAYING AWAY from purchasing any Honda vehicles. There are much more reliable vehicles on the market these days. I know me and my family will no long be buying Honda and I will be telling everyone I know about this issue.

      I have owned my 2016 Civic Touring since September, 2016, when I purchased it new. The AC system has worked less than half the time I have owned the vehicle. Today, I was told that the AC Compressor pump has failed and is not covered by the AC system TSB which allegedly extended the AC system warranty coverage to 10 years from date of purchase. I have purchased 3 Honda Civics and 4 Honda motorcycles from Honda at a cost of over $100,000.00. You can rest assured that I will never buy another Honda vehicle.

      In 2016 I purchased a 2016 Honda Civic with only 33 miles. Within the first 6 months, the AC went out. I took it back to the dealer and they replaced it under warranty. After that, within the first 9 months, the wheels started to lock up while driving, the car suddenly shut down one day in the middle of the road and had done that several times. Again, it had to be towed tie the dealership. Since the first incident, the car has suddenly shut down three other times. It is currently at the dealership. Now we are being told, coffee was spilled on the gearstick and perhaps it was hit by lightning. No one at Honda wants to be accountable for a car which turned out to be nothing but a nightmare on wheels.

      Honda Civic 2018. No air conditioning and peeling paint. I cannot remember ever having left a negative review anywhere, but I feel I need to share this experience I have had owning a Honda Civic. I can assure you this review is not given lightly. I just do not want anyone else going through what I have been through. I am a single mom who works hard for my money. When I bought the 2018 Honda Civic, I bought it with faith that it would be a good car for my two girls and myself, that it would last us for a while.

      Last summer in 2023, my air conditioner quit working. Apparently, it was a “leaking seal” that was bad and was still covered under the Honda extended warranty, so it was fixed by Norman Reeves Honda in August of 2023. This summer of 2024, the air conditioner quit cooling again and the paint is starting to peel in several spots. I went back to Honda, thinking that they would make it right and stand behind their product. I was told by Norman Reeves Honda that apparently my compressor wore out and just went poof, basically contaminating my entire AC system with it's shrapnel. They told me they could fix it for me for a little over $7000.00, but that they would give me a break and do it for $6000 something.

      I was so distraught that I don’t remember the exact “deal” that they tried to give me. I told them that it was too new for them having just worked on it the summer before, and that they needed to assume responsibility. I told them that this should not have happened, and without a doubt, the AC system components work together, and this could stem from the faulty seal. I told them that they should stand behind the work as it was just worked on last summer. They refused to take responsibility, and I drove away in tears. This was after the manager told me they replaced the seal again (just to be nice and to buy us a little time), and that it was blowing cold air. I guess they got a kick out of that because when we went outside and got in the car again, the air was steaming hot still. I am now still making a car payment on that car and driving around my kiddo in this DFW heat, where the temps are well over 100 degrees.

      I am still waiting to see if Honda will cover the peeling paint. The car is ALSO under a recall since December of 2023 for a faulty fuel pump module and if it does fail, there is a possibility it could stall out while driving. I have called on that a few times as well, but I have been told that that part is on backorder. The worst part is the air conditioning. I work in legal, so perhaps a demand letter and then a suit if necessary. Hopefully they will warranty the paint. If they do warranty the paint, I will edit this review to remove the part about the paint. Honda, you really should back your product. This is not the way you do people. I work hard for my money.

      Nonstop electrical issues with 2020 Honda Civic with 40,000 miles. Clean and new battery in Key fob, yet it does not unlock doors. Windows arbitrarily go down without warning at night letting rain and snow in the car. Truck arbitrarily opens when driving on highway. Dealership charged $500 for nothing in an effort to push the issue beyond warranty. Auto unlock inside car does not unlock all doors all the time.

      I have a white 2017 Honda Civic that has 71,000 miles on it that I purchased in July 2020. The paint along the right side of the back window is peeling away. I brought the car to the dealership where I purchase it. Billy Navarre in Lake Charles La., and they stated they can only submit a claim to Honda and they took pictures and submitted and said the claim was denied. There was a campaign for 2014+ years and paint peeling and my Honda Civic recently began peeling in the same spot as many others, along the edge of the back window.

      I submitted pictures to Honda myself along with a request for claim and they refused service stating my vin number is not included in the paint recall. This car is much too new for the paint to be peeling off. It has been garage kept for several years. I did respond to them and let them know I would be filing a complaint and they did not respond. Word to the wise, you pay top dollar for cheap paint and service is not up to standard.

      2022 Civic is TRASH! 1st Honda I have ever owned and I have had so many issues with it. I actually have 2 thinking they were good cars. But I was dead wrong. My wife currently has the 2022 Civic "Sport" and it is already having issues. The issues my car has began with the electric gear box sticking, A/C went out, valve cover gasket leaking and now my back seat belts not functioning properly which is a safety issue that Honda doesn't want to be responsible for. Most of the issues just "happen" to start right as my vehicle warranty expired. And as for my wife's A/C Honda will not do anything about until it completely goes out because there are no lights or codes coming up as an issue. Even though it is beginning to do the same things mine did. So anyone who is looking to purchase a Honda Civic or Civic "Sport", DON'T! I hear the Pilots are TRASH ALSO.
