| Description of the problem | I have already registered a complaint involving equipment failure and safety. My 2015 nissan rogue does not have interior heat even when the controls are set at 90 degrees. In trying combinations of air-flows as instructed by my dealer, i had to look down to make sure i was pushing the right buttons. Talk about distracted driving. When i looked back up, i had just enough time to slam on my brakes so that i would not rear end a logging truck (that was about a 1/2 to full block away when i first looked down) definitely a safety issue in my mind. More importantly: last night i was driving home from a night class (about 7 miles). Weather conditions were light snow and light freezing mist. Had my temp. Set at 90 degrees and controls at full defrost and full fan blower. My windshield continued to ice up because of lack of heat to melt the freezing mist. Visibility got so poor i difficulty seeing through my windshield. Tried to control the vision by spraying windshield washer fluid using wiper controls. This helped. I cannot believe there has not yet been recall for this heating problem. Especially since there are so many other drivers that i have read about on the internet that have experienced the same problems of lack of heat. Between being a distracted driver trying to continually change control settings as well as an unsafe driver due to visibility issues as explained earlier, i believe there should be a recall making this a nissan repair issue rather than a consumer repair issue (cost). I hope you can help me and many others. |
