5 Signs Your Honda's Air Conditioning Needs Maintenance

Driving is about more than just getting from A to B. You want to enjoy your ride in comfort, feeling cool and refreshed. Most of the time, this takes a well-serviced air conditioner. Here are some warning signs that you need air conditioning maintenance at your local Honda dealership. more Weak Airflow into Your Cabin If you switch on the AC but no air is blowing from the vents, it's quite likely that the blower is malfunctioning. If the fan itself isn't damaged or stuck, the fault might lie with the blower motor or resistor. A bad relay or blown fuse could also have interrupted the blower's power. A mechanical problem with the belts and hoses might also stop the air from flowing. Only Warm Air From the Vents Refrigerant needs to flow smoothly through an AC system for the cooling process to work. If refrigerant leaks, the air will stay warm, with nothing to cool it down. Barring a leak, a problem with the thermostat could also keep your cabin air warm. Alternatively, a malfunctioning condenser or clutch switch might be to blame. Banging, Rattling, or Squeaking Sounds Your AC should run quietly; any odd noises should prompt repairs. Banging or rattling sounds may mean a leaf or stone has gotten caught inside the blower. Clutch failure might also produce a rattling noise. Squeaking could stem from a loose fan belt or worn-out compressor bearings. Strong Smells of Mold or Mildew A natural byproduct of suddenly cooling air is moisture, which tends to gather inside air conditioners. This moisture creates a potential breeding ground for bacteria and mold, especially if your AC is wet and then sits unused for weeks or months, as often occurs during winter. A buildup of mildew would give you a noxious blast of moldy air when you turn the AC on again. It's advisable to switch on your AC at maximum power and coldness once per week, which effectively gets rid of moisture and prevents mold. Water Leaking Under Your Dashboard Your air-con has a drain line that allows condensation to run out of your car. However, if this drain line gets clogged up with mold or debris, the trapped moisture could drip inside your cabin instead. This will usually be under the dashboard. Book Yearly Air Conditioning Maintenance at Your Honda Dealership As with any important car part, along with responding to signs of a fault, you should have your AC periodically checked by a professional. Once a year is typically enough to keep a car's AC in great shape. Visit Coeur d'Alene Honda in Coeur d'Alene, ID, today to get your AC running perfectly once more. We've been helping our customers stay cool and comfy on the road since 1968.

Three Benefits of Trading in Your Vehicle at Your Honda Dealership

When you're ready to get a new car, often you'll be looking to get rid of your old car. The easiest way to do that is to trade it in at your Honda dealership. It's a quick process and there are many trade-in benefits when you choose this route. more Competitive and Fair Valuation We are committed to giving you a fair market price for your vehicle, no matter what make or model it is. Send us the details online, and we'll get you a quote quickly so you can see in advance exactly how much you're going to get for your trade in. We're in a position to do this in the way that no private buyer can. Private buyers are looking for a steal: they are actually less likely to give you the full market value of your car. Beyond that, private buyers care deeply about minor cosmetic flaws and even the cleanliness of the car. At your dealership, we can look past a lot of that because we have the resources to quickly clean and buff up a vehicle. Best of all, there's no haggling with your dealership. You don't have to worry about a private buyer initially agreeing to your price, then showing up and trying to bargain you down by several thousand dollars. Safe and Transparent Transaction Speaking of private buyers, there are scammers galore, and trying to sell privately usually means inviting strangers to your house and allowing them to learn quite a lot about you. You have to be very careful that the transaction itself is done in such a way that you don't get scammed and lose the car only to find that the payment doesn't go through. When you trade your vehicle in at the dealership, once you finish the transaction, it's all over. You have the payment in hand, no strangers go to your house, and there's no chance the dealership is going to come back later unhappy and demanding a refund. Everything In One Place Once you trade in your Honda at the dealership, you can immediately apply the value of that trade-in to a new vehicle. In a lot of cases, the entire transaction can be done in a day or less, and you can drive away in your brand-new Honda that afternoon. If you don't want to get a new vehicle and just want sell, that's an option, too. And if you need financing to make up the difference as you get your new vehicle, that's easy to access at the dealership, as well.

3 Advanced Safety Features in the 2025 Honda Lineup

Honda Sensing is a suite of advanced safety features designed to protect you and your passengers. They utilize radar, sonar, and other advanced technologies to warn you of potential dangers, allowing you to respond and avoid an accident. As your Honda dealership, we want to tell you how some of these systems work. more Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS) This system uses radar and a forward-facing camera to monitor the vehicle in front of you. The radar measures the distance from your front bumper to the rear bumper of the vehicle ahead. The distance is then compared to your current speed to determine if there's a danger of collision. If the system determines the distance is closing too fast, for example, the car ahead slows down, you'll receive visual and audio warnings to slow down. Sometimes, a vehicle ahead may brake suddenly, and you're unable to react quickly enough to hit the brakes. In this situation, CMBS automatically applies hard braking to bring your Honda to an almost instant stop. Automatic braking can prevent an accident or reduce the damage caused. Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS) This feature helps keep you safe by positioning your Honda in the center of its lane. It uses a camera located in front of the rear-view mirror to identify the lane line markings. Once identified, LKAS will automatically warn you if your vehicle drifts toward either lane boundary. You'll hear warning beeps, and a warning icon will appear on your screen to alert you if you're about to leave your present lane and aren't actively steering. If your Honda continues to move toward the lines, LKAS gently tugs your steering wheel to guide the wheels back into the lane. LKAS can't steer your vehicle, so it will provide additional visual and audio alerts to warn you that you need to continue steering. Road Departure Mitigation (RDM) The RDM system helps prevent your vehicle from leaving the road. Like the LKAS system above, it also uses a specialized camera. The RDM camera detects the solid lines that identify road borders. If this system detects you're about to leave the road, it applies steering torque to guide you back into your lane. It also provides audio and visual warnings to alert you to the danger. If your Honda is about to leave the road, RDM applies the brakes to stop your vehicle and prevent an accident. RDM temporarily deactivates if your direction indicator is on or you're actively steering. If you'd like to know more about these or any of the other advanced Honda driver assistance features, contact us today at Coeur d'Alene Honda in Coeur d'Alene, ID

3 Signs Your Honda's Battery Needs Replacement

A dead battery is one of the last things any driver needs. Fortunately, a battery almost always shows signs it's weakening, giving you time to replace it. As your Honda dealership, we'd like you to know a few signs you may need to visit us for a battery replacement. more Old Age Age is one of the most common reasons for battery failure. A battery uses copper plates and chemical reactions to store electricity as chemical energy. As time passes, the sulfuric acid inside the battery slowly breaks down, causing the battery's electricity storage capacity to drop. Since the amount of power needed to start the engine is relatively stable, the reduced storage ability means the battery can't store enough power to start the engine. The average battery life is three to five years. This can increase by another year with careful usage, or it can drop depending on driving and environmental conditions. As your dealer, we recommend annual battery testing starting in your battery's third year. Our computerized battery tester will identify if your battery is weak and needs replacement. If you need a new battery, we can install it while you wait. Corroded Terminals As we saw above, sulfuric acid breaks down naturally and releases hydrogen gas as a byproduct of the breakdown process. The hydrogen gas will escape the battery and enter the engine compartment to mix with sulfur molecules and form hydrogen sulfide. Hydrogen sulfide is a dangerous, toxic chemical that is easy to identify as it smells like rotten eggs. Hydrogen sulfide is attracted to the battery terminals and forms an acidic salt-like substance around them. This acidic salt will eat into the terminals, further disrupting the weak battery's ability to store and supply power. We can temporarily remove the corrosion, but it will return as the battery leaks hydrogen. We'll need to replace the battery to fix this issue. Failing Alternator The alternator's job is to generate electricity for your Honda's systems. Some of its electricity production is used to recharge the battery to maintain it at full capacity. The alternator is a relatively long-lived component, usually only needing replacement after approximately eight years. Age will cause the alternator to slow down due to old, worn components, and this causes problems for your vehicle's electricity supply. As the alternator slows down, it produces less electricity. The weaker the alternator becomes, the less power is available to recharge the battery, and this causes the battery to drain and fail. We'll examine the alternator and replace it if it's damaged. We'll also check that the battery is still strong enough to be recharged or install a replacement if it's worn out. If you have a battery problem, contact us ASAP at Coeur d'Alene Honda in Coeur d'Alene, ID.
