A/C Repair Service for Your Nissan Pathfinder

Few things are worse than a broken car air conditioner on a hot summer day. Your steering wheel feels like lava. Sweat soaks the driver's seat. You take a deep breath and ask yourself, “Who can fix my Nissan Pathfinder A/C?” Easy — Firestone Complete Auto Care! We know Nissan vehicles, and our qualified technicians can diagnose and service the A/C system in your 2017 Nissan. Come to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care in your Nissan Pathfinder

During an A/C performance check, we'll determine the condition of your 2017 Nissan Pathfinder A/C system to evaluate what repairs are necessary (if any). This check will include an examination of system pressure, a visual inspection, and a leak test. If any signs point to a possible leak, we’ll send a special U/V dye through the system, or use something called a “sniffer.” What’s a “sniffer,” you ask? It’s a specially designed machine that’s used on parts of your Nissan Pathfinder A/C system to detect refrigerant fumes escaping from the system. If your system has a leak, we can get it fixed.

A/C Recharge for Nissan Pathfinder

Let's say we repair your 2017 Nissan Pathfinder A/C system. We will also perform an A/C evacuation and recharge. During this process, a technician will remove the old refrigerant from the A/C system. Next, they will evacuate the system according to Nissan's recommendations. Finally, we’ll recharge the A/C system with new refrigerant and after one final test to be sure the system is cooling properly, you’re good to go. We want you to be comfortable in your car, so we train our technicians to perform 2017 Nissan Pathfinder A/C recharges.

Other Nissan Pathfinder A/C Problems

Hot air is a common Nissan Pathfinder A/C problem, but it’s not the only issue you might encounter. Typical A/C problems also include weak airflow, which could indicate an old ventilation fan, a seal or hose that needs replacing, or mold buildup in your A/C system. If your A/C system blows cold air first but then it turns warm, this may suggest a leak, a blown fuse, or a damaged compressor clutch. And smelly A/C in a 2017 Nissan Pathfinder? This can mean you have mold in your evaporator case, or it may indicate that it’s time to change your cabin air filter. Our technicians will work to solve your A/C problems to the best of their ability. We’re here to help you get back on the road in your Pathfinder — without all the sweat puddles!

2017 Nissan Pathfinder A/C System FAQs

  • How can I make my Pathfinder air conditioner colder? Park in the shade whenever you can, and use a reflective sunshade in the windshield when you’re parked. If you’re the only one in the car, close all the vents except the ones that point toward you. Give the system the final boost it needs with an A/C performance check and recharge from Firestone Complete Auto Care.
  • Why do I get hot air from my Pathfinder A/C? If your car’s air conditioning isn’t blowing cold air at all (or it tries, then turns warm), you could have a clogged expansion valve, a faulty compressor clutch, a leak, or a malfunctioning fuse in the system.
  • What can cause an A/C system leak? Over the years, the rubber seals and gaskets in your Pathfinder’s A/C system naturally degrade. Moisture can get into the system and cause a malfunction, or parts can simply wear out so that your system no longer seals properly.
  • Does my Pathfinder A/C run on gas? Pathfinder air conditioning systems don’t use gasoline as a direct fuel source. However, they do rely on engine power, which can indirectly affect your vehicle’s gas mileage.
  • What can cause the A/C in my Pathfinder to smell 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 Pathfinder creates a breeding environment for microorganisms.
  • Why does my vehicle have to be moving for my Pathfinder’s A/C to work? A problem with one or more of your air conditioning or electrical system components could cause the A/C to only work when your Pathfinder is moving. You may be low on refrigerant, or the cooling fan could be faulty.
