| Description of the problem | Air conditioner clutch fan is not engaging with the compressor, and blows out hot air. Honda has an extended warranty for the clutch fan and compressor that they know are faulty parts, but i did not receive a recall letter regarding the parts in time to get them repaired. My car is now past the mileage listed on the warranty by a few thousand miles. Honda wants to charge $1,100 for new parts and labor. Honda dealer wants american honda to "send an email" to the dealer, upon contacting american honda, they want the service manager to honor the warranty. It is a game of "pass the buck". Also, i was without my vehicle for four months last year due to the takata airbag recall so i am not happy with the safety of this particular vehicle. Hondas are not inexpensive vehicles. There should be a hard recall on these air conditioner systems that are faulty, and honda knows it. |
