Description of the problem	While driving the vehicle with the ac in the on position, the ac would start to emit a strong chemical toxic odor. The odor is so strong , it stays on your clothing until they are washed. The odor also causing shortness of breath, water eyes, and makes your chest hurt after it has been inhaled for a short period of time. You can also taste the odor in your mouth after you have been out of the vehicle for some time. You could smell the odor outside the vehicle as well due to how strong it is. The strong toxic chemical odor was making my 1 year old daughter cough and sneeze when she was in the car. She would just keep rubbing her eyes. The car was taken in to the dealership in which they had it for over 2 weeks. When i got the car back, they said the odor was normal and would go away. I call nissan consumer affairs and explained the health concerns for my child in haling the odor coming from the ac vents. I received a call back from nissan consumer affairs and they stated the strong odor was due to the plastic in the car and because the car is black in color. The car only has 4,500 miles on it and should not be emitting any toxic chemical odor from the ac vents. Inhaling the chemical that is coming from the ac unit can cause serious side effects for my children and that is very concerning. There should not be any plastic that would give off this type of odor in any vehicle. The dealership service manager agreed that the car should not smell the way it does, but nissan consumer affairs claims it is normal and will eventually go away. The issue also causes my front windshield to fog up so bad in the morning you cannot see on coming traffic. The defrost, ac, or having the windows down does not help with the fog issue on the windshield. How can this be normal for a brand new car with 4,500 miles? Dealer has had the car for 3 weeks and still cannot find the problem.
