NHTSA Complaint #11252027 — 2017 NISSAN NV3500

THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW FROM THE DEALERSHIP. WHILE DRIVING, THE AIR CONDITIONING AIR FLOW TO THE BACK THREE ROWS OF SEATS IS INSUFFICIENT. DUE TO INSUFFICIENT AIRFLOW, TEMPERATURES WITHIN THE VEHICLE REMAIN AT OR NEAR THE OUTSIDE (AMBIENT) TEMPERATURE FOR EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIME. THIS IS A DANGEROUS CONDITION WHEN THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE IS ABOVE 100 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT. WHEN MEASURED FROM THE REAR SEAT, IT TAKES OVER 30 MINUTES FOR THE INTERNAL TEMPERATURE TO GET BELOW 90 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT, WHICH CAN CAUSE DEHYDRATION OR HEAT STROKE IN CHILDREN. IT TAKES ABOUT 40 MINUTES FOR INTERNAL TEMPERATURES TO DROP BELOW 80 DEGREES IN THE REAR SEAT. UPON INSPECTION BY A FACTORY AUTHORIZED TECHNICIAN, IT WAS STATED THAT 'THE VEHICLE IS WORKING AS DESIGNED,' AND NO SOLUTION WAS OFFERED.
