2013 Nissan ALTIMA Unknown Or Other Problems, Complaints and Defects

File date	25/05/18
Component	UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Consistent with nhtsa item #10119276, the magnet clutch to the air conditioner compressor does not engage causing the air conditioner to blow hot air. Under certain conditions, this could potentially overexpose tthe operator to dangerous levels of heat which could adversely affect the operator's ability to safely control of the vehicle and therefore lead to crashes as well as injury to the operator such as heat exhaustion or heat stroke. When the vehicle is moving, the risk of the operator's overexposure to the heat can be reduced by rolling down the windows. However during rainfall, at slow speeds or while at a standstill, that option is not available. As an example, while i was driving on the interstate, i reached a section that was shut down. The traffic was backed up and i was trapped on the interstate forcing me to operate my vehicle at a standstill for an extended period of time. When my overexposure to the heat caused me to become faint and disoriented, i abandoned my vehicle on the interstate and made my way to the shoulder of the interstate. A doctor caughtup in the traffic backup saw me and while attending me stated that i was suffering from heat exhaustion. Other motorists assisted him and were able to find someone with a cooler of ice and so the doctor was able to treat me by icing me down. The doctor told me that i was on the verge of heat stroke which was an emergency situation. This incidence made me realize that a defective air conditioner is not simply uncomfortable and an inconvenience but because under certain conditions it can adversely affect the operator's ability to safely control the vehicle, it can lead to unsafe driving conditions. I now believe that any problem that has the potential to adversely affect the operator's ability to safely control the vehicle should be considered a safety issue.
