| Description of the problem | Nissan altima sedan 2010 sl (leather) with cvt transmission; after driving with the ac on during heat wave i noticed water on driver/passenger floor dripping from the center console. I rarely use the ac rather have the windows open. After research online (this site as well with another complaint) and bring to a nissan dealer they indicated the ac (condensation) drip pan drain/tube may be clogged or the sunroof drains may be clogged. They indicated that the cabin air filter may have deposited debris and dirt into the ac pan causing it to clog... Nissan needs to fix this problem or seal the pan next to the cabin filter so nothing can be transferred or moved to the filter/area to the nearby drains. I previously had the cabin filter replaced by a repair center spring 2013. |
