AC Issue with Stillen Gen 3
 

It's getting little warm now so recently I cranked up my AC - no problem I'll give it a few to get it cold air - after driving few minutes it was just blowing hot air.

Next day I took it to Autonation Nissan in Lewisville as I was working close by there - the tech said intake tube was rubbing against the AC line and causing it to leak. I thought it just needed basic freon.

I did some research and it seems like it's a known issue with the intake if the steps were not done properly - I read over the instructions and it clearly states to cover the AC lines.

I bought this car off the lot from Grubb's Nissan and intake, exhaust .. everything was done by Screamin Lizard customs. So these are already installed when I was buying the car.

Seems like they should be liable for this and reading others it cost them around $600 for parts alone.

Any feedbacks??

They should cover it.
It's not $600 of parts. That part is $29 and labor is a bitch.

That sucks, I think I heard of stillen rubbing on someone else ac lines before. But they thought is was fault of Nissan.

Next time go with intakes that run into fender ie: AEM, Nismo. JK but for real how long ago did you get this installed, usually shops will warranty their work for at least a year.

Stillen recommends covering the A/C lines with rubber hosing to prevent this from happening. Installer should have done that.

Update: dropped of the car at the dealership - got a nice loaner... several hours later my service manager calls and said they'll cover everything because it was their fault.

Dealership is Grubb's Nissan.

Wow, a dealer that actually owned up? Impressive. *slow clap*

Damn I may need to go to Grubbs, Courtesy can't figure out and messes something new the past few times I've been there.

Impressive...................They really shouldn't have covered it but some dealerships like return customers!

They even covered the loaner they have me .. Took them 3days at rate of $35 per day for loaner car

I believe they should as the Gen 3 intake was installed by them.
