NVP Rear Heater stopped working

Recommended Posts

Over the weekend the rear heater stopped working, just blows cold air.

 

Was out of town and called the local Nissan dealer and said it sounded like a water control value, but they couldn't fix it Saturday as they didn't have any open appointments.

 

Called and setup an appointment for today at my local dealer to have it looked at today (taking it in shortly).

 

Anybody else have issues?

Took it into the dealer and they said they did a flush, fill and bleed of the rear heater system.  Said if it happens again, they would repeat and the third time they would replace the heater core.

 

It is warmer, but not as warm as it was before, time will tell.

Thanks for the follow up!  Too many here dont follow up...

 

Do you have a thermometer?  Take the temp from the front vents and then check the rear vents.  I would expect some fall off just due to distance the air is travelling but if it is excessive make the complaint again.  If nothing else you will have it documented with actual numbers and can compare with 1) your van if they do a fix again or even better 2) check a brand new NV on the lot.

 

The mechanics will have multiple thermometers available to them so let them document if they want but ask for results or to see them first hand.

 

You're heading into the middle of winter, last thing you want is no heat for your passengers!
