The a/c stopped working on our van. According to the darling bride, she "told me WEEKS ago" LOL. I gave it quick once over and didn't notice oily residue from either evap core drain tube, condenser, lines, etc. Off to the dealer it went given I have an extended warranty for another 10K miles or so. Currently have ~83K miles on the van. Day one at the dealer was troubleshooting and seeing if warranty would cover it. Day 2 was waiting for parts. Wrong part came in. Day 3 (Saturday), part came in, but tech won't have time to finish it today, but should be done on Monday. Apparently it's something with the rear a/c line(s), which I know is all too common for any such equipped vehicle in the rust belt as the lines in the right rear wheel take a beating. Thing is, this van is immaculate underneath being only a few years old.
Curious to see what the cost of repairs will add up to. I'm assuming the Quest, Murano and Pathfinder all have the same system given it's a shared chassis. Supposedly it shouldn't cost me anything. It better not given I paid ~$2K for the extended warranty when we bought the van used (1yr old ex rental with 32K miles) I hate rear HVAC. It's great when you need it, but when it leaks and it will with rust belt use, you loose everything.
