| Description of the problem | Tl*the contact owns a 2005 nissan titan. While driving at an unknown speed, smoke entered the vehicle through the vents. There were no warning lights illuminated prior to the failure; however, the left turn signal stopped working. The dealer could not determine the cause of the failure, but they repaired the vehicle according to nhtsa campaign id number 08v284000 (equipment:electrical:air conditioner). The dealer stated that the automotive repair center that had previously performed the repair caused the wires to melt around the fan. The auto center representative (who was actually the one filing the complaint) stated that the recall remedy did not actually repair the entire failure. The representative further stated that the fan repair was insufficient and the recall notice never described what could overheat. The current mileage was approximately 28,400 and failure mileage was approximately 28,300. |
