What Owners Say
"A/C has cold air but can take over an hour to blow any speed. Sometines it never turns on"
Anonymous A., FL (2017 Nissan Rogue Sport SV 2.0-L 4 Cyl)""the issue is the ac works, but stops working on longer trips, like over 30 mins. it will stop working, or you can hear it, but no air is coming out, or the air is not cold. if we turn off the ac for 1-5 mins, and then turn it back on, it will go for another 20-30 mins before stopping again. dealers and mechanics think they can diagnose it by sitting it in their parking lot or garage, running, for an hour, and they will be able to see it stop working and fix it, but it never stops working for them. they need to test it under load, like driving""
