Is anyone else having AC issues in their Clarity, we have 2 and mine has had the condenser replaced under warranty luckily but the evaporator just went out 6 months later which is not covered. The dealer quoted me $2500 but the manufacturer paid a lot of it. But my wife’s car had the evaporator go out as well the manufacturer paid some of hers too but not as much as mine. The dealer has to call the manufacturer and wheel and deal a price, since my car was the second one I got a better deal, but it’s been $1000 for the both. One of my neighbors has one too and his has had the condenser and the evaporator replaced in his. Any one else?
I'm on the 3rd condenser for my 2018 Clarity. Here are some threads where other Clarity owners have had AC issues: AC blowing warm again Clarity A/C problem (and warranty extension on pg 10) FAULTY AC Just Received 10 years Extended Factory Warranty For Leaking AC Condenser Air Conditioner compressor failure after condenser replacement High Temperature Warning after AC Condenser Replacement AC Question POLL: Clarity air conditioning output not cool Clarity AC not working 2018 AC Failure
Got my notice in the app about the fuel pump recall so I need to schedule that, and am now glad I bought a full-replacement glass warranty at the dealer because there was fun in the road today and something cracked my windshield badly, but have had no problems at all with the A/C so far in my 2018.
Boston area dealers won’t schedule appointments for the Clarity yet (or CR-V) since they won’t have them in stock for a while. They said to try back later in January.
From some research on the web and a local mechanic i decided to put regular r134a into my emty system. I was very careful not to overcharge ( just added the ammount on the sticker on the hood) . The main benefit is that the r134a runs a lower pressure on both the high side and suction side. therefore not as prone to leaking, and is much cheaper than the r1234yf. Ac is working great for about 2 months now. Im not an expert but do have some experience and was advised that the oils in both are the same. The one i used also has stop leak. Do your own research or consult your mechanic. Adapter fittings are available on ebay and Amazon
