When using either AUTO or dual control, the AC on the driver's side was working great when I first purchased the car, but since about 10,000 mi, the driver's side vents have been blowing just air (passenger side is still working great). If I turn temp to heat and then back to AC, whether using AUTO or dual control, the passenger side vents instantly blow cold AC, but the driver's side continues to blow hot air. If I then turn the AC off then back on again and use dual control and turn the driver's side AC all the way to LO, the driver's side vents eventually blow cooler (not cold AC) air after about 45 minutes, but that's only because the temp in the car eventually cools down with the AC working on the passenger side. First time to dealer, they said nothing wrong. Second time they had it 3 days and said dual AC system is complicated & the only thing they found was a leaking "o" ring they replaced and recharged refrigerant. Has anyone else had this problem and know what causes it? I want to go back to the dealer again to correct this and get my AC back to the way it was before the warrantee runs out.

Make them run the dye through again even if they did it before. Most of those posts indicated that the problem happened under warranty. Maybe Honda's A/C supplier shipped them a bad batch of compressors at one point. Since it is a shared / common part, the problem has appeared in both Acuras and Accords. |

My '05 is in for service the 2nd time since buying it not 4 weeks ago. The airbag light came on and stayed on. Dealer service manager explained that it could be interference from a cell phone. Dealer acknowledged that driver's airbag would not function in my car when light was on. Shame on Honda if they've designed a car that you can't have a cell phone in w/o disabling the biggest safety feature of the vehicle. If what the dealer service manager told me is true, Honda needs to recall these cars and FIX them...not just reset the computer only to have it happen time and time again. All of the above info was given to me by the service manager of a large Honda dealer in the DFW area. |
