04 G35 Coupe AT with 55K miles

Going in for:AC - cooling only 63 degrees - Low side is too high

Driver seat - goes back on it's own while going down the road and will not go forward when it does this.

Driver window - auto up sometimes does not work

Fuel gauge - does not register full

KEEP YOUR FINGERS CROSSED FOR ME!!!!

The sedan just got back from Lake Norman Infiniti after 1 FULL MONTH there!

The coupe is going to Modern Nissan Of Lake Norman!!! They have been very good to me!!

Is there any debris in front of your condenser? Increasing outlet temperature by a few degrees after 5 years is not too bad. No matter what the receipt shows they removed from the system (never includes the amount in the hoses) but even if you dropped 6 ounces that's not too bad. Have them inject some tracer dye just in case you develop a leak in the future it makes it easier to locate.

Sounds like you need a new drivers seat switch. They tend to get spilled soda coffee or whatever was in the nearby cupholder and found its way into the seat switch. It is actually pretty common, no big deal.

If the window doesn't work from the bottom it may be the switch, or the motor but when the motors usually decide to die they usually lose their auto up memory.

If it doesn't fill up or fills to the normal level but the gauge fails to register there are two different components that may be at fault.

Thanks for the info Steve!!!! I checked the AC at my buddy's house. low side was around 60. He said he thought it was the exchange valve. Also the lines did not feel hot/cold.

Zozo, I'm thinking these symptoms will be ez enough for them to figure out what parts to replace. Again, Modern Nissan has been good to me in the past. Have been waiting to get several things done at once under warranty since my warranty requires $100 for the visit. I checked my agreement and it all should be covered.Sooooo,

Is that with a set of manifold gauges?

60 on the low side is a little high, I am suspecting there was not enough air flowing through the condenser, making an incomplete heat exchange. Below is a general reference chart, click to expand.

$100/visit is not a bad deal. Especially if you hold on with it till you get few things and take it in once. Like you just did.

No need in that. I mean come on, you are in CA. I should have been the one offering, since I'm close.

But Rich hope the luck turns around on the cars soon, try not to see the dealer for a while.

They told me that my '03 has some warranty, but it was due to mileage. Guess on some things the year didn't matter.

I purchased it used last summer with 44K miles on her. Stopped by my local Nissan dealer and picked up an extended warranty for 3 years just in case, since it was used. Lots of markup in those extended warranties....How many miles are on yours??? Will check with my dealer to see about your 03.

I dont know what you paid for your warranty but believe it or not, the mark ups aren't bad actually. (says my salesman buddy) I got 4 years 50,000 miles addded to my deal for $1250. or maybe it was $1080. Something like that.

Actually paid employee price. I did shop around - even one of our sponsors told me that after checking with his manager he couldn't even get close, so I have no complaints!

They've ordered a new AC compressor and seat base with motor.

The seat base and motor assembly retails at $1,500

So, have to re-schedule when the parts get in.
