need to vent.... ever since i got into nissans it has been a headache first it was my maxima with the damn CEL and $1000 later its fixed, now my damn altima is crapped out as well i just spent $1000 on a whole new a/c system and it still only works when it wants to i have about had it im going to take the altima back to the shop and see what happens. i have never had this much problems with a car. im so frustrated.........

 

I think your mechanic is just either dumb or taken advantage of you, why would you need a whole new ac system just for it not to work that would make me question wtf the mechanic is doing with my car while its at his shop.

 

well i see that he put new components a/c compresser, condenser etc but still no dice.......

 

Sounds like the douch is just shotgunning parts.

 

im take it back monday and if he doesnt fix it, im most likely trade it in

 

Man your mechanic is an idiot, I had a ****ing idiot mechanic change a caliper on a jeep grand cherokee I had years ago because he said that was the problem, turned out my whole front differential was broken. So then I had a brand new caliper for no reason when i didn't need it. Just because he put new parts doesn't mean he fixed the problem, and he obviously didn't figure out the problem that's why he replaced the whole ac system, i doubt every component of the system was bad and had to be replaced.

 

How about taking it to someone who knows what they are doing?

 

b/c im not going to shell out another grand to figure this out plus he gave me a 90 day warrenty on parts and labor

 

1. If you had the compressor and condenser replaced already the likeliness of shelling out another grand is very low, if not impossible.

2. If it is under warranty then just leave the car at the mechanic until it is fixed. Why even discuss this further?

 

 

just dont have AC.. AC is not worth $1000 to me

 

i dont even use mine that i have

 

Damn that's messed up you should of shopped around and got some prices cause Damn!!

 

The only time the whole AC should be replacced is if "Black Death" occurs which is the failure of the AC compressor in which seals, shrapnel etc. goes through your AC system.

Since it's working intermittently I'd say there is a leak somewhere or the system was not charged completely/properly.

Tell your mechanic to fix it. If he won't report him to the B.A.R. and the BBB.
