Hi, Everybody - I'm hoping to get some feedback on an issue I'm having with my 2011 Versa Hatchback...that I only have 22,000 miles on.
I noticed a strange smell coming from my vents when I turn my AC on a couple days ago (kind of like bandaids), and then my AC stopped working...I took it to the dealership this morning, and they confirmed that it is leaking freon and told me that they need to remove my dash and either replace my evaporator core or see if the AC lines are leaking. the quoted me $1756 + tax for the evaporator or $1260 + tax if leaking from the lines.
The first thing they asked me when they told me was if the car had been in a serious accident, which it hasn't, and then told me this is very uncommon. Is that true? It seems like there's quite a bit of posts online when you search about it.
Does anyone have any input they could share with me on this? It's way more money than I'd like to spend right now. Going to call Nissan corporate later, but figure I'd pick all your brains first!
Thanks in advance,
Laura
