#15 of 2128 cooling/heater problems - AM radio problems by david1j Sep 23, 2003 (11:57 am)
I've had my SE for 2+ months now. The burning hot air blowing on your feet when the AC is on still drives me nuts. service had it for a day before telling me that's the way it's supposed to work. Not happy at all.   My big problem is the AM radio. There has been a loose connection to the AM antenna of some sort, causing horrible shorts & weird sounds when listening to AM. It's been at the dealer for 4 days w/o a resolution. The 1st day they said it was the radio. Ordered a new radio. When it came in, it was the wrong radio. said they would reorder. After a week, said they wouldn't reorder because they thought it was a wiring problem (my original suggestion). spent 3 days in service this time. Got it back and it worked right for about 3 weeks. problem started again. Have been waiting for over a week for an idea of what to do next. Am getting very frustrated.   Drives great though. Love the engine & transmission.
#16 of 2128 Hot Air from vents by gg2k2se Sep 23, 2003 (5:00 pm)
We took our first test drive this past weekend and my wife noticed it immediately and was very annoyed. it was hot outside and we had the a/c on, but still lots of hot air from floor vents. I hope Nissan take this seriously and fixes it soon. I hope quest0804 got an honest answer from Nissan that they are working to fix it.
#17 of 2128 regarding warm/hot air from front vents by quest0804 Sep 23, 2003 (7:03 pm)
I had called Nissan regarding hot air issue. They are still working on it. I have not got any update on this yet.   If other experience this issue please call Nissan not your dealer. Dealer will say that how it will work because they don't seem to understand the issue right. Hot air could blow for few second if it is hot outside not for 1/2 hr. That is not acceptable to me. If that is the case why the rear end vents are still blowing cool air. I guess this could be fixed by Nissan. I would expect Nissan to communicate to their service centers and give honest reply to customers.
#18 of 2128 drag on the engine by quest0804 Sep 23, 2003 (7:05 pm)
I have SL. We did experience it once. I took it to the dealer and they don't find any issue. It happend again. But now seems fine.   One this we observed is if you keep your gas pedals all the way up (not down) then it seems to work fine. If you keep it down then I feel the drag. Try this and see if it works better.

The 3.5 SE Quest with automatic climate control DOES have a problem with hot air blowing from the lower front vents.   I have verified this with anothers via forums like this one and with my dealer's service department.   Symptoms: outside temp 80 inside set at 65 upper duct 60-67 lower floor duct 105-115   Solution: A fellow Quest owner with whom I emailed had the problem fixed by Nissan. It required a new heater system which requires the dash to be removed. He says its close to 100%. All new SE's will have the fix (no idea as of when).   Dealers & Nissan Area Service Reps The car simply too new and many have not had the problem reported. If you have the problem DO NOT let it be. Go and force your dealer to help.   My Story My dealer's service has been great. The minute they heard of the problem they asked that we bring the car asap. They were concerned that it was a safety issue. They gave us a Yukon (hate it) to drive while they investigate. Their inital test lead them to call Nissan. They got the standard answer "that is how it works". In the mean time a second van had the same problem. Our service manager said sorry Nissan that is not good enough. He forced the area Nissan service manager to come down the next day and they did the temperature test (listed above). The area service rep is now trying to find the solution. I did mention above that Nissan does have a fix, but this area's service rep has not heard of the problem or a solution. So he is researching. I expect to have an answer soon. I'll post again.

Thanks quest2k4. I will call nissan and find out. They had given me a ref# few weeks ago and I was told Nissan is working on a fix. I have the same issue with SL but even without turning on A/c if the outside temp is 80 we get hot air through the vent. The rear end seems to work fine. The a/c doesn't cool the front driver/passenger row well.
#21 of 2128 Hello quest2k4! by quest0804 Sep 27, 2003 (9:55 am)
I called Nissan to get update on my Hot air problem.They say still working on a fix.   You had mentioned on the previous msg that you friend got it fixed.   Do you mind giving your friend's email to get more info on his fix?   Thanks
#22 of 2128 Warm Air Update by quest2k4 Sep 27, 2003 (7:06 pm)
Turns out the source that told me he had his Quest fixed emailed that what ever was done by his dealer did not work.   Lastest from Nissan. A fix will be available in six weeks. Look for a recall some time in mid-November.

Does anyone know if this problem specific to the models with the automatic temperature control, or has anyone noticed this problem on the "S" model with no ATC. We are close to buying the "S" model, but now want to check this out again. It sounds very annoying and maybe we should wait until Nissan finds the fix.
#24 of 2128 A/C problems by traveler707 Sep 27, 2003 (9:12 pm)
Is this A/C problems suppose to be in all SE models or only on some of the models? I have a SE, but so far I don't think I have the problems described by others.
