| Description of the problem | Hot air blowing from ac vents. Thought it must just be low on freon. Looked online and discovered thousands of people with the same vehicle are having the same problem. The compressor blows and causes hundreds if not thousands of $'s to be fixed. Currently the car is at a body shop who told me i got lucky and the repairs would only amount to $835 because the part alone is $550. Contacted honda america and they basically laughed at me and said good luck. Very irritated, but after the report of so many honda's being recalled in the paper yesterday i see why they haven't yet recalled them for this issue. Although i wasn't stranded like some people report engine locking down from this because when the compressor broke it broke their timing belt and radiators, it is still very frustrating and not safe to drive in extreme heat with no warning your air will be out and how much it costs to have it fixed. |
