68000 mi

US $730
A/C condenser replacement 
15000 mi replace refrigerant due to leak 
22000 mi replace refrigerant due to leak 
32000 mi Replaced refrigerant due to leak, second time. First in October 2019. Both times they said they could not find a leak. 
32000 mi Refill refrigerant for a third time due to leak. Will find out in fall if finally fixed. This time I refused to take the car home until they found the leak and supposedly it was in the evaporator (or condenser I don't remember). I believe Honda put out a recall on the AC condenser and extended the warranty on the AC for 8 years/100k miles so it is a known problem.

AC system keeps losing refrigerant every year since new. Dealer cannot find a leak so car is now out of warranty and I was charged $400 for the recharge

4000 mi Right turn signal cam died. Back up cam sluggish to come on when car put in reverse 
1500 mi Blower fan for climate control was making clicking noises. Took in and they had to order part. Returned and they replaced blower fan and no issue since.
