On Thursday our ac started blowing hot air. I contacted a Honda service rep and they made an appointment for the upcoming Monday. On Monday we waited 2 hours so they could check the car and so they could just tell us that there is a leak and they are not able to find it. They filled our car with free-on and added a dye and asked up to come back in 2 weeks, they said out A/C should begin cooling...it did for 3 hours. I made an appointment for Thursday of the same week. The reps said I need my condenser replaced, that road debris damaged the condenser. I do not recall going over anything or hitting anything. How can a condenser be damaged on a new car. They gave me an estimate for $535. I began to read into it online and I am not alone. There are many complaints yet Honda has not made anything better.

Windshield fogs up rapidly in winter within first few minutes of driving. Faster than air conditioning can dry car interior. As a result, visibility is reduced to zero and I always have to pull over to wait 10 minutes for it to dry. This happens on cold days below 30 F, but it has not happened to me in any other car I drive or have driven.
