Car under warrantybut can't be fixed
consumer protection attorney Illinois Aug 9, 2026
Location: Illinois I bought a car brand new in 2018. In 2021, the manufacturer sent me a letter saying there was a defect in the AC condenser that could cause it to fail, so they were extending the warranty on that part to 10 years. Over the last 5 years, that part has failed at least 1-2 times every year, resulting in loss of AC. The dealer always covers the replacement cost, but this typically involves leaving my car with them for 3+ days, so I often go without AC for a period of time. I've now given up on the idea that the issue will ever be correctly fixed and plan to get rid of the car. Given that the car is still under warranty, but cannot be fixed for any meaningful amount of time, am I owed any compensation from Honda?
