Picked up the new Pathfinder last Saturday early evening.
Drove home and when I exited car I noticed a slight electrical
burning odor. Seemed to be from under hood. Figured it's new (only 3
miles on it when I picked it up) and it was probably normal as new
components get hot.

Sunday I noticed it again. Not as strong but still an electrical type
odor. By the end of Sunday the odor was gone and I forgot about it.

Monday arrived cold and rainy. Temps in the high 40's. Drove to pickup
coffees for Mrs.E. and I and realized I had no heat. Had the
temperature setting to max (90 degrees). No matter what I did, manual
mode, auto mode, front heat, rear heat, it just blew cold air.

So, it's back at the dealership to be fixed. I have a hunch what is bad
so I am interested to see if I am right. I think the damper control
actuator either stuck or was bad from the get-go and it basically burned
up the coil that operates it which would explain the electrical burning
odor.

Maybe a good thing you live where you do. I wouldn't have known until
October.

I'm sure they'll have you straightened out in no time.


LOL. I thought about that. Sunday was in the 60's, so I didn't notice
the lack of heat. It wasn't until Monday morning when it was in the 40's.



Good luck. My Tacoma has almost 15,000 on it since talking delivery in
March 2016. It's going in next week for the 15,000 mile inspection,
service, and tire rotation. I have *no* list of items to fix. Wife has
6,500 miles on her 2017 Camry. No problems.
