🇺🇸 honda civic 2017 [Other] Defect age: 9 Mileage: 100000
bought the car with 80k miles in 2017. the A/C was not working when I got it. the clutch on the compressor was not engaging, but before deciding that was the problem, checked pressure in the system. there was none (aka there was a leak and all the refrigerant was gone). I Recharged the system and added UV dye to find the leak. When refrigerant was added, the compressor worked fine (so I knew it didn't need to be replaced.) It blew cold for a little while but quickly got hot again so you could tell there was a big leak. Used UVlight to look for leaks, did not see any anywhere in the engine compartment, so I realized the leak must be in the evaporator (which is quite the process to get at. You have to take out the glove box and the blower motor and a few other pieces (there are good youtube videos online). Sure enough there was a big puddle of fluorescent goo in there. SoI replaced the evaporator (as well as the attached expansion valve because you might as well do it while its all taken apart already), sealed everything back up, vacuumed moisture out of the system, and recharged with new freon. A/C works now. although if driving at high speeds for a long time on hot days, it doesn't work quite as good. but the parts were about 130$ plus about 50$ for refrigerant and PAG oil. You will also need a gauge and hose set and a vacuum pump. OR you could have it done professionally (probably a better choice but much more expensive- was quoted at 800$ because of all the labor involved in getting to the evaporator compartment)

i bought a honda civic 2000 and the vehicle has a major flaw in its car seats. it produces high electricity shocks when you touch the doors (metal). i think this is a major defect and a potential lawsuit for honda if someone gets seriously injured in an explosion. this is an everyday issue and my family is even afraid to get in the car. *ak
