Battery was showing issue the day before and the next day the car started again and arrived at work and only battery die at my work parking garage.

At 43k my ac now is out of freon and dealership off the bat want $250 diagnostic of the ac. This is a known issue with 2016-2018 civics and my civic vin# is not cover under the ac extended warranty for 10 years for whatever reason and now I'm stuck. I went to the auto parts store and purchased a freon gauge and can of 1234yf freon and hope the leaks is not big. But come on Honda.
