Air Conditioning Maintenance for Your Nissan: Stay Cool and Comfortable

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Our Hawaiian summers are fantastic, but you'll still need the comforting cold air from your AC on a hot day. AC components can wear out or break, and your AC won't work as efficiently as it should. As your Nissan dealer, we want to tell you about some signs you need to visit us for AC maintenance. more Signs You Need AC Maintenance at Your Nissan Dealer Cold Air Only at Speed The speed setting on your dash controls the airspeed of the air blowing into your cabin. A resistor block controls the speed of the AC fans, allowing them to blow faster or slower depending on the speed setting you select. If your AC only blows cold air when you accelerate, then switches to cool air when you decelerate, you probably have a damaged compressor. The compressor pushes air through the AC and is powered by a pulley that spins as the serpentine belt passes over it. If your compressor is failing, it can't move air through the system as fast as it used to. When you accelerate, the serpentine belt moves faster, which spins the pulley faster and forces the compressor to work harder. We'll check your compressor and repair or replace it, depending on the situation. Noises From the AC A healthy AC doesn't make any sound except for the sound of air blowing into the cabin and a tiny click at regular intervals as the compressor switches on and off. Rustling, rattling, clunking, or other strange noises are all signs something is wrong with your AC. Rustling noises are usually made by dirt or leaves that were drawn in through the air intake and are now trapped in the ducts. Rattling and clunking could mean a more serious issue, as they suggest something metallic is loose. They could be caused by broken compressor bearings or other damaged components. Our technicians can easily remove debris from your AC ducts, and we can also repair any other AC damage, and the noises will disappear. Fan Problems Air enters the AC, and the heat and water are removed, then the air is chilled and blown into your cabin. The blower motor controls the fans and blows the air into your cabin. The fan blades are delicate and can easily be damaged by stones or other hard objects thrown up from the road. Broken or damaged fans will prevent air from blowing into the cabin. A damaged blower motor could also prevent the fans from blowing air. We'll check your fans and can easily replace damaged ones to restore normal airflow. We can also repair or replace the blower motor if it's the cause of the problem. If your AC isn't working correctly, contact our service department today at Tony Nissan in Waipahu, HI.

Four Things to Know About Nissan's Extended Warranty

Your Nissan factory warranty only lasts for five years or up to 60,000 miles, so it might be a good idea to ask your Nissan dealer about buying an extended warranty. more Four Things to Know About Nissan's Extended Warranty 1. You Have Three Coverage Options Extended protection plans from Nissan last for eight years or up to 120,000 miles. You can purchase these plans while your factory warranty is still active. Your coverage options are: Gold Preferred The Gold Preferred plan covers almost every component of your vehicle with bumper-to-bumper coverage. The only exclusions for this plan include wear and tear items, such as brake pads and batteries, physical damage, and cosmetic flaws. Silver Preferred The Silver Preferred Plan covers all parts included in the Powertrain Preferred plan, along with 680 more vehicle components. This protection plan covers specific parts such as the anti-lock braking system, transmission oil cooler, and mobile entertainment systems. Powertrain Preferred The Powertrain Preferred plan adds to the coverage provided by the Nissan factory powertrain warranty. This plan will cover all internal engine components, most transmission components, the drivetrain, suspension, electrical motors, the fuel system, steering system, brakes, and even Nissan air conditioning. 2. Your Warranty Comes With Perks If you purchase the Gold Preferred or Silver Preferred plan, the extended protection plan comes with several perks backed by Nissan, such as rental car reimbursement, towing reimbursement, trip interruption benefits, and 24-hour emergency roadside assistance. The Powertrain Preferred plan only comes with roadside assistance benefits. 3. You Can Choose Your Deductible When you purchase your vehicle service contract from your dealership, you can choose a deductible that is affordable for your budget. Deductibles for your plan are either $0 or $100 per repair visit. 4. You Can Purchase Other Plans at Your Nissan Dealer In addition to a vehicle protection plan, there are other Nissan protection plans you can consider. For example, you can buy GAP protection or guaranteed asset protection from your local dealership. A GAP plan is great coverage to have since this plan can protect you from the remaining balance on your vehicle if your car is totaled, and can even protect you from vehicle depreciation in case you want to sell your car in the future. Prepaid Maintenance You can purchase a prepaid maintenance plan to lock in the cost of routine repairs. Your prepaid maintenance plan can be customized to suit your lifestyle and may even have a 0% Consumer Payment Plan for up to 24 months. Tire and Wheel Protection Your factory warranty and your extended protection plan will not cover the cost of tire and wheel maintenance, so purchasing Tire and Wheel Protection might be ideal. This plan covers the cost of flat tire repair or replacement, wheel repair or replacement, mounting, and may even cover cosmetic repairs. An extended vehicle protection plan can protect you from repair costs for important vehicle components, such as the powertrain. Contact the finance department at Tony Nissan in Waipahu, HI to learn more about purchasing a Nissan extended protection plan today.
