How do I make my Nitro air conditioning colder?

Here are a few quick ideas. Shut the passenger air vents and point the other vents directly toward you. Park your car in the shade and use a window sun blocker. Then visit Firestone Complete Auto Care for an A/C performance check and recharge.

Why do I get hot air from my Nitro A/C?

An A/C blowing hot air has several possible root causes. There could be an issue with your compressor clutch, a blown fuse, a leak, or a clog in the expansion valve.

What can cause an A/C system leak?

To put it simply, age and moisture are some of the main causes of leaks in your A/C. Over time, rubber gaskets and seals can wear out, which pushes much-needed refrigerant out of your Nitro’s A/C system — and lets outside moisture get in, which can take a toll on internal A/C components.

Does my Nitro A/C use gas?

The air conditioning system in your Nitro does not use gasoline directly as a fuel source, but it does require some power from the engine, which indirectly affects your car's fuel consumption.

What does it mean if the A/C in my Nitro smells like vinegar?

If a vinegar-like odor comes from your A/C, bacteria growth could be the culprit. Moisture accumulation in the air conditioning system of your Nitro creates a breeding environment for microorganisms.

Why won’t my Nitro’s A/C cool the vehicle when the car is stopped?

If your A/C only works when the vehicle is moving, there could be a problem with part of your Nitro’s A/C or electrical system. Potential issues include low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.

Dodge Nitro A/C Repair

There’s nothing worse than cranking your car air conditioner on a hot day — and discovering it’s broken. Your steering wheel feels like lava. Sweat soaks the driver's seat. “Who can fix my Dodge Nitro A/C?” you wonder, as the sun beats through the windshield. Firestone Complete Auto Care can! We know our way around Dodge vehicles, and our trained technicians can identify and repair issues with 2007 Dodge A/C systems. Steer your Dodge Nitro to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care

During an A/C performance check, we'll determine the condition of your 2007 Dodge Nitro A/C system to see if repair work is required. This check includes a visual inspection, performance test, and pressure and leak test. If we suspect a leak, we’ll send a U/V dye through your A/C system or use a “sniffer” to find the leak. A “sniffer” isn’t a technician with a good nose! It’s a machine that’s used on different parts of your Dodge Nitro A/C system to identify points where refrigerant fumes could be escaping the system. If there's a leak, we'll find it and fix it.

Recharge the A/C in Your Nitro

While your 2007 Dodge Nitro’s air conditioner is being serviced, we’ll also do an A/C evacuation and recharge. During this process, a technician will remove the old refrigerant from the A/C system. Then, they’ll use Dodge’s specifications to evacuate the system. Finally, we’ll recharge the A/C system with new refrigerant and once the technician tests the cool blast for themselves, you're ready to get back on the road. Our technicians know how to keep your A/C in tip-top shape with 2007 Dodge Nitro A/C recharges.

Troubleshooting Dodge Nitro A/C Problems

Hot air is a common Dodge Nitro A/C problem, but it’s not the only issue you might encounter. Typical A/C problems also include weak airflow, which could be caused by mold or mildew buildup, a loose hose, an old ventilation fan, or a compromised seal. An A/C system that starts off blowing cold air but then turns warm may suggest a leak, a blown fuse, or a damaged compressor clutch. What about those (somewhat unpleasant!) smells coming through the A/C vents in your 2007 Dodge Nitro? This can mean you have mold in your evaporator case, or it may indicate that it’s time to change your cabin air filter. Technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care are ready to help you address your A/C problems. So, chill out. We're here to help you get the blast back in your Nitro’s A/C!
