(reported on)

Xterra 6-cyl

  • miles
Problems with the way the defogger works on the 2003 Nissan Xterra. The consumer turned on the defogger the air conditioner compressor started to operate, as it should. But when the control switch was turned form defogger the compressor remained on. The only way to get the compressor to turn of was to stop the vehicle, turn it off, then turn it back on. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who indicated that the system was operating as designed. The consumer believes the vehicle should be recalled in order to modify the defogger system so that the air conditioner compressor stops operating when the control is moved away from the defogger position.
