Description of the problem | The vehicle that i drive is a 2016 nissan tiitan 4x4 xd (the diesel version). My vehicle only has 4000 miles on it. The vehicle was in motion and at some point while driving it, a small pebble entered through the grill of the truck and came into contact with the air conditioner condenser. The result of this contact poked a hole in the condenser and caused the freon to leak out, which results in damage to the environment. The mechanic who worked on my vehicle has stated that nissan has been having a lot of problems with this type of incident and it is a result of faulty workmanship on the part of nissan in the grill that they chose. The grill has gaps that are too large and allows for small pieces of debris to pass through them which causes damage to the internal parts of the vehicle. Nissan has failed to recognize this as a problem and they will not warranty the vehicle or the parts that have been affected because "it's not their fault." the mechanic for nissan suggested that i place a mesh screen behind my grill to prevent this from happening in the future. There should be a recall on this vehicle to remedy this problem and so that consumers are not required to pay $1,100 to fix their air conditioner because of faulty workmanship on the part of the manufacturer |
