They have replace the open winding, auto control panel and ac controller. This switch happens within 15 minutes of driving. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Anyone else experience a similaar issue? | |

My 07 Journey Sedan (without Nav) Air Conditioner seems to always default to the "vent" position. I prefer to have it on "recirc" most of the time, but usually find myself having to override the computer default. Sometimes, if I'm lucky enough to have it start up in recirc, it winds up switching on it's own to vent within minutes. It's very frustrating when you think your still on recirc only to smell the fumes of a vehicle in front of you. It's as though it's got a mind of it's own. At that point, if I go ahead and switch it to recirc, it will then generally stay there for a while. But once the car has been parked, turned off and restarted, it's back to the recirc/vent game again.  I've learned that it's necessary to press the vent/recirc button a couple of times to be sure it's been properly manually overridden into the recirc position. But I don't believe this is normal for any vehicle, let alone a vehicle this technically sophisticated. When I had it in for maintenance at the Infiniti dealer a couple of months ago the technician had no idea what to do or suggest. Is anyone else having this issue or know if there's a computer upgrade available to fix?

Replying to: gooddeal2 (Oct 31, 2007 4:01 am) However, it's not a matter of that. To clarify, it's not that the AC is turning off - it's that the system is choosing vent instead of recirc while in AC mode. The AC never switches off by itself. An additional problem that I should mention is that there is no way to run just the fan (AC off) in recirc mode. The system won't allow it. With just the fan on, as soon as I hit recirc, the AC is turned on. There are plenty of times when I'd like to do this (when humidity is not an issue) but it won't allow it. In all other cars I've owned (even ones with "Auto Temp Control"), many of them Nissan's, I've always been able to do this.

Replying to: serfer1 (Oct 31, 2007 10:10 am) It's just that the ac won't stay on recirculation, it will randomly switch back to fresh air, mostly at the worst times such as behind a bus with diesel fumes. Mine is an 03, it never did this for the first two years but since 05 it's been constant. Any infiniti loaner they give me doesn't do it. I didn't know about setting the mode by holding the button, but I did try that before as I thought it might be similar to programming a button on the radio. So I held the recirc button down for a while and later in my drive it started switching to fresh air again. |
