Average Mileage: 89,517 mi (42,000 mi - 226,100 mi)
The AC compressor may seize resulting in loss of cold air from the AC vents. Often when the compressor fails in the fashion, debris is spread through out the entire air conditioning system resulting in very expensive repairs.

RookieA/C quit blowing cold air. Loud "banging" sound occurred with a slight smell and "squeeling" noise. Thought something was falling out of my engine. Just happened today, have not had looked at yet.

AC had been making weird grinding noise when I accelerate for the past few years. AC still blew cold air, ubt it was an uncomfortable annoying sound. Finally on Tuesday (first hot day of the season) I turned on the car, turned on the AC, and the grinding sound was super loud/unbearable. I turned off the AC for a minute, turned it back on while driving, then a few minutes later the noise stopped and the cold air stopped blowing. Dealer confirmed the whole AC system is SHOT (and this is a common issue w/ Honda). Very pricey repair (est $2600). Not cool.

A/C Compressor grenaded and spewed metal chunks throughout A/C system. Dealer played dumb, but
Honda and all Honda dealers know about this issue. They originally wanted $1800 to fix, after calling
Honda USA, and being asked how good of a Honda customer I was (very upset about that) they reduced
the bill to $600. The car was 9 months and 6,000 miles out of warranty on an issue that Honda knows
exists because they cheaped out on the part. Shame on Honda for not stepping up to the plate here.Flag ThisLike0
