As reported earlier, on my new 04 Civic EX when I'm accelerating in 2nd and 3rd the AC compressor goes off and I get non-cold air until it hits 4 th gear. Before I take this issue to the dealer I want to know if others have noticed this. If you live in a warm climate, would you put your hand over the vent, accelerate through 2nd and 3rd and see if the air temp changes from cold to 'warm' and back to cold when you get into 4th? I want some data before I take this up with Honda. Please post here or reply off-list. Thanks, Al
