Replying to: targettuning (Jul 27, 2006 4:10 am) I don't like this "feature". |

except that it doesn't blow hot, just noticeabley less cold. It's not too bad because my car does get chilly, and this just keeps me from having to adjust the temp. knob. Honda really has just done me a favor.

My new Civic air conditioning seemed to work great till the weather got above 85 degrees. Then I got to noticing that when in traffic or any time you excellerated it would blow hot air for sometimes 10 seconds. If the weather was above 90 degrees it would never cool the car in city traffic. I live in a smaller town that only takes 15 minutes to go from one side of town to the other side and it never cools the car. Sitting at red lights it never cools and when you throw in that it cuts the conpressor off every time you accellerate you will burn up. The dealer has looked at 3 times and we tell them about it ever time we go back to do normal service. They always say it is in specs. I don't know what else we can do at this point. Does anyone else seem to have the same problem that I do?  I have seen several messages close to mine.

I have had my 2006 Civic for four months now and I would have to say that the A/C is less than desirable. I have an appointment this week to have it looked at. I was also told by the local dealership that the A/C issue is normal; however, I find it very uncomfortable and now wished it was warmer out when I test drove the car. I had my wife go look at a used Landcruiser the other day and the Toyota dealership she was at had three 2006 Civics that had been traded in…

Replying to: targettuning (Aug 01, 2006 5:20 am) I bought my '06 in January when it was cool. Had I known this was a "feature" of the car I most likely would not have bought it. My last car was an '01 Pontiac Grand Am GT. That car had an AWESOME AC system! The Civic doesn't come close.

Replying to: dewaltdakota (Aug 01, 2006 6:54 am) I had my first Honda in the early 90s and it treated me well. I've driven several different cars since then and at the suggestion of my SO - who's driven nothing but Hondas since the mid-80s - decided to go with the Honda EX w/ Nav because I liked it's sporty look and the fact that it really doesn't feel like a small car. This AC problem is a Big Deal to me because my own internal temperature generally runs warmer than the average bear. I like and depend on a cold air conditioning system. Anything less is unacceptable!  Does anyone know what, if anything, would be accomplished by going to Honda corporate with this problem? Is there any recourse for those of us who are highly dissatisfied with this?

Replying to: morganscivic (Aug 01, 2006 8:19 am) I have been getting just over 37 mpg on a regular basis, although I do drive mainly highway miles. My only issue so far with the Civic is a plastic piece covering the seatbelt on the driver's side has either popped out, or has been that way since I took delivery and I never noticed. I called the dealership, and they will obviously fix this for free. Other than that I am (so far) very satisfied with the ride in general and very pleased with the mileage.
