| Description of the problem | On july 8, 2014 my a/c stopped working. I took it to a local dealer who later informed me that compressor locked up and shot metal particles throughout the a/c system. I had to have the entire a/c system replaced. Nissan refused to reimburse my $2500 expense because vehicle is out of warranty. Please, investigate how the entire a/c system would fail on an 82,000-mile vehicle of a respectable brand like nissan. |
