Owner-reported complaints naming the heating or air-conditioning system, filed with NHTSA

Data refreshed

Heating & air conditioning reportsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

AC UNIT DEFECTIVE FROM THE TIME I DROVE OFF THE LOT. COMPLETE LOSS OF COOLING ANNUALLY FOR 6 CONSECUTIVE YEARS FOR A TOTAL OF SEVEN TIMES. (THE FIRST TIME WAS ON THE DAY THAT I BOUGHT IT). HONDA FINALLY REFUSED TO REPAIR IT AFTER THE WARRANTY RAN OUT, EVEN THOUGH THEY REPAIRED THE SAME PROBLEM EVERY YEAR, FOR 6 YEARS. THIS YEAR I HAD TO HAVE ANOTHER REPAIR SERVICE FIX IT AT MY OWN EXPENSE. *AK
