So on my 2014 SV there seems to be a ton of water dripping after I park . Even when the AC is off there is a large amount of water that puddles up under my car.

Anyone else have this?

I notice in my car when I start it and the climate control is on Auto, the AC tends to be on even though the light is not on. The temperature of the air coming out of the vent indicates the AC is for sure on even though the indicator light is not. It's a possibility that could be the reason.

Yes. The air in these cars always runs cold.

Do you have condensation? Like a whole puddle?

The AC light only comes on when you activate it manually by pressing the button. This will lock it on regardless of what temperature you set the car too. When in auto mode the HVAC system with use the AC as it sees fit without indicating that to you. I believe the car will also activate AC when you use the defrost setting when the ambient temperature is between a certain range.

puddles are fine. everyone will have different puddles due to different ambient climates. if your area is more humid than mine = bigger puddles. its normal. the size of the puddle or the flow of WATER is not indicative if anything abnormal. the colder your A/C = the more condensation. so be happy lol

I must say this is my first nissan and the climate control is pretty damn good. I like this car more and more each time I drive it.

Nissan has done a good job with several of their vehicles. The trucks are unstoppable

The climate control is a little tricky. Mentioned above was that if it is on "Auto" your AC will kick in as it sees fit based on the temp you set the climate control at. The AC button will not light up. What I am finding is even if the "Auto" isn't on, and the "AC" isn't on, the AC is actually still running when needed to keep the temp at what ever you have it set at. I thought it would just run the fan. I guess not.

This is the first vehicle I have where the Climate control does this. Is there any way to run the fan with out the AC running? I know it was 80 yesterday. I had the climate set at 70, but the auto and the AC were off. It was very cold air coming from the vents, so I know it wasn't just the air from outside. The other tell tale sign that my AC was working was that after I parked my vehicle there was the condensation puddle under the vehicle.
