And who was the pr man that Meade up the air conditioner story? Baghdad Bob?? I was just at the dealership again. The guy with the AC cooling the engine story isn't a tech/mechanic. Nice guy and all but I told him that some of this is getting comical. He also told me that the Nissan Service Tech and the dealership service tech seem to now think that the engine overheated at some point. There's no codes in the ECU that indicate that but they suspect it for some other reason. If so, it happened sometime between coming off the assembly line and being shipped to the dealership. It had 3 miles on it when I took delivery and for the two days I got to drive it it did not overheat. On Monday I was watching the temp gauge closely to make sure the engine was at normal temp because I noticed the no heat situation. It's possible that when the car was built they forgot to put coolant in it. Drove it out of the assembly area to a staging area and it may have overheated then. It would explain the suspected bad water pump (running dry) and a air lock in the heater core. Maybe they realized it, filled with coolant, reset the ECU code and shipped it. If so, I told the service advisor that I don't want the car. Too many problems can result from overheating ... especially with aluminum heads, etc. I have been told I'll get a call from Nissan Customer Service within 24 hours to resolve the problem. I am going to tell him/her I don't want that car and will accept a replacement of equal or better value. Smart move...let them unload that vehicle somewhere else. Perhaps to a buyer in Florida...  |
