| Description of the problem | One week after taking my 2007 nissan altima into the dealership for an oil change and some recalls, i heard a grinding noise coming from under the hood during startup. Upon further diagnosis, the noise would come back when the a/c was turned off. The ironic part is, this was the first time the dealership had seen my car since the 36,000 mile warranty had expired. Now, another week later, the a/c will not even work, and no repair shop can repair it except the dealership. |
