Thats why we are speculating that it must be because of some recent change ...cyellen said:I can't really complain, but I would have thought a problem as simple as this would have been uncovered in early testing.

Great news. Software fixes should be easy. Glad it wasn't mechanical. Sorry so many had to go through this but you may have saved a lot of people from being stranded.LindaK said:Hi all, I'll make this brief as I am typing from my phone....my car is fixed with software upgrade. Dealership told me 200 cars were affected, but I don't know that the total is US or worldwide. Seems like they've gotten a handle on this issue....at least I hope so. I can't pick up ly car til tomorrow at this point, so will wait till then to verify all is well.

azdre said:So, Nissan failed to give my dealer the whole story the first 2 times it was in. The refrigerant level change was a stop-gap to try to pull the draw down until they could figure out what settings to change in the software. There are two distinct draw issues, one during pre-cool and another during driving that both required distinct settings changes. I'll pick up my car again tomorrow and hope for the best. I don't need a 34,000 paperweight. This will make 5 days in a row pulling into the Service Drive at the dealer. Please let it be the last! I am probably not using the right terminology here, so please don't flame me. I've had a really, really bad day and didn't totally hear everything the service advisor told me.
This last time the car threw the error while I was driving my cat to an emergency vet appointment, I left the car on in the parking lot while in the vet, drove my cat home, left it on as I got him settled back in, and then successfully drove myself to the dealer.
So, as others have stated, if your car throws the exclamation point car error with the yellow triangle, don't turn it off, drive to your nearest dealer or risk requiring a tow.

evnow said:What we need really is a message from Nissan that tells which cars are affected. My guess is cars manufactured between particular dates - or they could probably convey this by vin number range.LindaK said:Hi all, I'll make this brief as I am typing from my phone....my car is fixed with software upgrade.

We have probably 4 months to go before we need to use AC here in the NW - but I'd like to know whether I should get that firmware upgrade. But people of the south need this info ...

Same here - a single glove and a 10mm open ended wrench... but only if I'm desperate and can't afford the hit to my time for a tow.AmarilloLeaf said:leafster said:PS: I am now carrying a toolkit so I can try the 12v disconnect if necessary....
