Hi Guys!

Bought a brand new 2017 Honda Civic Hatchback EX trim couple months back. So far I am loving it and already put on 4000 miles on the car.
I live in Southern California and its getting pretty warm down here. However, I noticed that my AC is not as cold as it was when I first bought it. I took it to the dealership and they told me that its working just fine at 45 degrees but outside humidity/air temps play a role in the 'feeling'.

They also explained to me that the new civics take a special freon that costs like $126/lbs vs the usual $19/lbs which was interesting.

I want to take it into another dealership because I feel like the car is not working properly with the AC. Anyone here experience something similar?

This might sound stupid but did you turn off your econ?

Hi there!

Yes i did turn off my "Econ" button. Usually my AC is Ice cold but lately it's been just spitting out cold air.

try to keep the fresh air recirculation button on. This will increase the ac efficiency.

are you using manual or auto mode? keep it on auto and lower it to like 68degrees.
