2018 HONDA CIVIC Complaints

AC leaking Freon inside cabin. AC unit leaking Freon in atmosphere. My car’s AC unit started blowing hot air instead on AC cold air. Making it dangerous to stay and operate the vehicle while high temperatures here in California. I was told at Honda dealer that there are several TSB for AC repairs due to leaking from the AC condensers and AC compressor but that my car is leaking from inside the cabin through the evaporator and possibly inhaled the Freon that was escaped and the rest into the atmosphere. Extremely dangerous. Many articles about this please help? Honda USA is not helping fix and wants to do outrageous changes to get it fix.

When driving highway speeds (50-70 MPH) the steering wheel feels "notched" between 11 and 1 positions. This will cause me to oversteer in making minor adjustments. The problem is more consistent in daytime traffic with the temperatures at the hottest. In morning commutes, the issue arises about 15 minutes into the commute. Looking at online forums there have been many instances of other drivers experiencing the same problem however most could not have the issue resolved due to licensed dealers not fixing the faulty device but instead saying this is a compliant design.
