NHTSA Complaint #10136776 — 2002 NISSAN PATHFINDER

1) NISSAN PATHFINDER 2002 -AIR CONDITIONING FAN WOULD ONLY WORK ON SPEED 4 (HIGH) AND WOULDN'T SHUT OFF. RUNS CONTINUOUSLY 2) FAN WOULD ONLY SHUT OFF IF IGNITION WAS TURNED OFF - ELECTRICAL SHORT ISSUE 3) NISSAN HAD A "KIT" THAT WAS TO FIX THE PROBLEM & WAS INSTALLED AT MY EXPENSE. ONCE INSTALLED IT FIXED THE FAN ISSUE (NISSAN ISSUED A TSB 10-16-2003 - COMPONENT 353600 EQUIPMENT - ELECTRICAL - AIR CONDITIONER) BUT CREATED ANOTHER PROBLEM. NOW FAN WON'T COME ON FOR HEAT OR DEFROSTER (WHILE ON AUTO) WHEN OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE IS BELOW 60 DEGREES. NISSAN DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM ONLY THAT THEY ARE NOW SUGGESTING TO POSSIBLY REPLACE THE AC AUTO AMP UNIT OR THE INSIDE SENSOR OR POSSIBLY BOTH. ONLY A SUGGESTION BUT NOT A "FIX FOR SURE" AGAIN AT MY EXPENSE. I ALREADY PAID $428.42 BECAUSE VEHICLE WAS 4000 MILES OVER WARRANTY AND NOW THEY WANT TO EXPERIMENT AT MY EXPENSE FOR ANOTHER $500.00. I REFUSED BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT GUARANTEEING THAT THIS WILL SOLVE THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THE ENGINEERS/TECHNICIANS REALLY DON'T KNOW WHAT IS CAUSING THE NEW ISSUE. *NM
