EQUIPMENT:APPLIANCE:AIR CONDITIONER
AFTER APPROXIMATELY 30 MINUTES OF DRIVING, DESPITE ADJUSTING EVERY CONTROL POSSIBLE, THE AIR CONDITIONER CEASED WORKING. WHILE STOPPED FOR LUNCH, GAS REFILL, ETC. AND THE CAR HAD BEEN OFF FOR MORE THAN 5 MINUTES, UPON START UP IT WOULD ATTEMPT TO COOL, BUT THE ATTEMPTS FAILED AND AS A RESULT BLEW OUT ONLY HOT AIR. THIS OCCURED DURING A DRIVING TRIP TO/FROM DALLAS OVER MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND, SO IT WAS NOT AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM, IT WAS CONSTANT, DESPITE ALL THE CONTROL ADJUSTMENT ATTEMPTS. WHEN TAKING IT TO THE DEALER THE DAY AFTER I RETURNED, I DETAILED THE PROBLEM AND SAID, DON'T CALL ME AND TELL ME IT MUST BE INTERMITTENT BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG BECAUSE YOU WON'T SINCE IT ONLY OCCURED ON THE LONG TRIP. SURPRISE, THAT'S WHAT THEY TOLD ME AND THEY CANNOT RUN A DYE TEST THROUGH THE COMPONENT TO SEE WHAT FAILED UNTIL A NISSAN REPRESENTATIVE REPLICATES THE PROBLEM. THE MECHANIC TEST DROVE IT FOR 20 MILES AND THE PROBLEM DIDN'T SURFACE, WHICH IT WOULDN'T ACCORDING TO MY EXPERIENCES. NOW, THE DEALER IS SENDING IT HOME WITH AN EMPLOYEE WHO COMMUTES 50 MILES OR SO EACH DAY TO SEE IF IT REPLICATES BEFORE THEY CAN RUN ANY OTHER DIAGNOSTIC (DYE) TEST. THE WRITE UP MANAGER WAS SURE THE MECHANIC HAD CALLED NISSAN AND THEY HAD NOT SEEN THIS PROBLEM BEFORE. TOMORROW, MAY 31, I SHOULD HAVE MORE INFORMATION FOR YOU ON THIS PROBLEM IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO HEAR THE RESULT.*AK

SEAT BELTS:FRONT:ANCHORAGE
THE SHOULDER AND LAP BELTS ARE ATTACHED TO THE DOOR AND THE INSIDE OF THE SEAT. WHEN THE DOORS OPEN IN AN ACCIDENT, THE SEAT AND SHOULDER BELTS DO NOT RESTRAIN THE PASSENGER AND THEY ARE EJECTED. OUR SON WAS A PASSENGER IN OUR NEPHEWS NISSAN WHEN IT WAS ROLLED. HE RECEIVED A SHOULD STRAP ABRASION TO HIS NECK - DOCUMENTED, BUT WAS EJECTED - PICTURES OF THE WRECKED VEHICLE SHOW THE SEAT BELTS ATTACHED TO THE DAMAGED DOOR THAT IS AJAR. OUR SON RECEIVED A COMPRESSION FRACTURE TO HIS BACK AND LUXATED BOTH HIPS. OUR CONCERN IS FOR THE SAFETY OF OTHERS WHO MAY BE UNAWARE THAT THEY HAVE A PROBLEM AND HAVE NO PROTECTION IF THEY ARE IN AN ACCIDENT AND THE DOORS OPEN. *AK
