    "Sometimes doesn't connect and sats disabled or to try reconnecting at a safer time but even when in park doesn't connect. Have to turn car off and on again multiple times in order to fix or I just switch to bluetooth and disconnect the charger cord.

    "The screen when it gets warm, no matter how much they air conditioning is running will freeze up or go blank and you have to put it in the garage for hours before itll come back on. Its a real pain when youre using it to find a place youve never been. They need to fix the system or have a cover for it or something, but the system is a mass and then it affects my Apple Pay or my phone hooking up with the car. The only other major problem is no matter how much I had my tires rotated. They say they aligned them, but they still wanna wear uneven and I make sure it has the amount of air that is needed for him. I think the tires that come with it when you buy the car are junk. Ive also had trouble with the door handle paint on the driver side, peeling off. Before I had this one, Ive had two other Hondas a pilot and a CRV and never had problems like this."

    Refrigerant leaks

    ""Honda knows that they have issues with the civic and CRV AC systems. I had 1 ac line replaced under warranty. I had another line fail(leaking) about 14 months after that that I had to pay out of pocket for in the tune of about $1k. I filed a claim with American Honda and was reimbursed $792 for the trpair of a known issue. Just recently, the AC would not blow cold air so I brought it back in, 14 months after the previous repair and was told that the ac lines needed to be replaced in the sun if $1600. There has also been correspondence from Honda that the compressor shat seal cold leak and the warranty on that part was for 10 years. Again, a known issue in regards to the AC system. I took the car back after paying out of pocket for the diagnostic fee, $200. I reached out to American Honda and they re-opened my claim regarding the shitty AC system in the car. They offered a good will repair cost of $250 for the repairs. I am at a little less than $500 of repair costs for a known issue that shouldn't be happening. I have never had any issue with refrigerant leaking in an AC system in a car. Should have been a recall because the parts that had been repalced before with original Honda parts have failed again. They covered the compressor shaft seal as warranty but i still had to pay for the line repair!!""

    ""Starting in Summer 2024, I noticed that the A/C was generating only moderately cold air. We left the car with my son at college for the fall, so I didn't get the chance to deal with this until December 2024. On a warm day that month, I confirmed that the A/C system was still weak. I took the car to my local shop and they indicated that this was the subject of a recall by Honda. So I took the car to the dealer for (I hoped) warranty repair. They claimed it was not part of the warranty program and fixed it, but for substantial cost. I believe if I had let the system further degrade before bringing it in, the compressor would have failed and been covered by the warranty. A very frustrating experience.""

    Fuel pump

    "Three times (while away from home) and once at home my car wouldn't start. All the dash lights and the fan would come on and couldn't get them to turn off but the engine wouldn't start. I had to be towed to the dealership all three times. The time period for this spanned a few months. All three times, the weather was in the high 90's to low 100's. Don't know if it had anything to do with the issue but just something I remember. The dealership couldn't find a problem and was frustrating as when they looked at it the next day each time it started right up. I think it was the first time they didn't do anything, just told me it was working now..They did something with the computer on the car...that didn't work. The third time they tried putting in a new fuel pump. It'd gotten to the point that every time I was away from home and got in my car I worried if it would start. I got a letter from Honda saying there was a recall on the fuel pump for my car but parts wouldn't be available for several months. I talked to the dealership and told them that I had experienced all the issues that were in the recall letter and was told that the pump they put in my car was not the updated one that would the recall pump would be. But it would still be a few more months before the had the recall fuel pump to put in my car. So I waited and waited and finally got the recall fuel pump installed. I will say that once I got the new fuel pump installed, I no longer had those issues."
