Has anyone had the problem of a stinking smell after turning on the A/C? Here in NY I've finally had the chance to turn the A/C on but it has been pretty bad breathing in the air. I wonder if it's b/c the unit is new and the smell would eventually go away. Any thought?

Might want to have it checked at the dealer. K

Replying to: malttese33 (Apr 20, 2008 5:32 pm) when you turn on the AC, the vents are cooled and if it gets more humid out, condensation will build up on your vent. the water causes there to be a stench. shouldn't be anything to worry about unless it keeps on occurring |

Thanks everyone for your input on my AC odor issue. I was afraid that I might have damaged the Ac system when I had the car parked w/ the AC on for half an hour (very embarrassing to say this but I actually took a nap in my car during lunch hour  ) LOL.. and normally I would have just crack open the window but that day was especially hot and I turned the AC on for the very first time and kept it on while I slept. I'm happy to report that the smell previously mentioned has gradually lessened over the past few days so it probably was nothing serious. If this issue ever surfaces again I'll just have to bring it in to a Nissan shop to have it checked. But thanks to everyone who have responded to my SOS!!

I also hod a bad odor from the AC unit. It occurred when you used the AC and then shut it off. It was really bad smelling and i was ready to take it to the dealer but it has gotten a bit better so i may wait and see if it clears up. On a different note has anyone had a problem where the car shifts to high gear forcing you to press the gas down to get the power to come back up? The dealer says they all shift that way.
