Description of the problem	The problem is with the a/c compressor staying on even though i turn the defrost off. Same if i turn auto on then off. The a/c light stays off, but the a/c compressor stays on. The only way to turn the a/c off is to press the a/c button twice (once to turn the light on, next to force the a/c to go off). If the defrost is off, auto is off and the a/c light is off, the a/c compressor must turn off. It should not be a guessing game for the driver to wonder if the a/c is off. I have complained about it before and been to the dealer 3 or more times about it. There are multiple postings (complaints) about it on the internet (see one link below). Http://www. Nissanclub. Com/forums/2013-nissan-altima-discussion-2-5-3-5/351865-defroster-turning-ac-but-not-turning-off-when-changing-different-vent-mode. Html i have complained about it to nissan and was asked to see the dealer. The dealer checks other same model cars and the problem is consistent amongst all cars, so he says "there is no problem". The dealer mechanic agrees with me that this is not how it should work, but since all other similar cars do the same thing, there is nothing they can do about it.
