Dear Esteemed Readers, It is with a heavy heart and a huge dose of disillusionment that I would like to share with you a personal anecdote about the Nissan Qashqai. Firstly, to be fair, with respect to the road tax- and petrol- saving 1.2 L Qashqai, the first five years of driving had been a breeze. However, all heel broke loose, merely a day after my Qashqai's 6th birthday last September. The chronology of my Qashqai's meltdown is as follows (I apologise for any technical typo): A. Replacement of the faulty (1) Evaporator Cooling Coil $320 (6 Sep 2021) (2) Dashbox $280 (6 Sep 2021) (3) Tow Truck Activation $140 (29 Oct 2021) (3) Thermostat Housing $270 (30 Oct 2021) (4) Manifold Gadget $60 (30 Oct 2021) (5) Fan Motor - Air Con $320 (30 Oct 2021) B. Dismantling and Assembly Costs in total $470 C. Locked gearbox with inability to shift the gear from Parking to Drive As recently as last December, it had taken me an average of 5 to 10 minutes to wait for the gearbox to disengage and move off but the situation dovetailed to a complete lockdown last month in which I have to use a pen to depress the Shift Lock button in every instance of gear shifting. D. Busted Speakers The last straw that broke the camel's back occurred yesterday when suddenly, the speakers just blared as loud as a car horn within the car (even at the lowest volume), the intensity of which still leaves me shell-shocked. I sincerely hope that the aforementioned sequence of unfortunate events only applies to yours truly but on a cautious note, I would strongly urge you to re-consider your buying option upon selection of a second-hand Qashqai. Thank you for reading.

Just to check as I encounter my car air-con during the hot day especially, my temperature is set to nearly maximum coldness then sometimes, can feel the cold air disappear cos just blow out normal air then after a while, the cold air returns again. I bring my car to let my mechanic check, he told me the clutch for the air-con compressor having bigger gap than before which causes such symptom so he suggested me to change the whole air-con compressor which causes me $550. Is there a way to replace only the clutch instead of the whole air-con compressor? Can anyone enlighten me on that, thanks!

Hi. Was driving almost 9 year-old verna on Saturday. Went couple of places, then on way home after buying breakfast near my place, the aircon suddenly just went off. The a/c knob is the turn (not touch) type and it was still at '1' position. Turning the knob to '0', then to '1', '2', '3', '4', all no response. Fed up and upset already, as it was 5.15 pm so was thinking of where can I go to see what's wrong... Then at traffic light 2 min later, my daughter sitting in front passenger seat, turned the a/c knob again, and this time the a/c came back on!!! Reached home 3 min later and it was ok, still cold as before. Did not drive on Sun, and today drove to work, and out for lunch. So far no noticeable problem and it seems to be working fine. Does anyone know what could be the problem with my a/c system? I changed the cooling coil 16 mth ago, and really dread having to spend more $$ on repair, as car is no longer new... tks... -

Recently my car's aircon is not working properly ie cold for a short while every time I start using the car and then it goes off, no cold air. Last nite, ABS and battery warning lights came on and soon power steering was gone. Horn no sound. Fortunately i reached the workshop and left it outside the main door as it was already 10pm. The engine wouldnt crank when i tried restart it to park closer to the side. This morning WS called me up telling me alternator spoilt. How does alternator affect ABS, Power Steering when it's spoilt? Thank you for your advice.

1st my front left door lock went kaput. Got it changed at KMC's subcontractor for autolock. That's when I realised the autolocks' installed in Singapore. Had to fork out $$ because the warranty for this part is only 1 year. Now my rear left door lock conked out. Very fedup with the quality. I won't be surprise if the rest of the door locks fail in the next few months. I'm not keen to go back to KMC's subcontractor for replacement, not with substandard quality parts. Any suggestion for alternatives?

Total bill is 185 which i felt is expensive. Fridge is about 3.5 years. Anyone with cheaper source?

Should I get it repaired or just ignore ot ditch the whole ABS thing. Cause mine is such an old car. Don't know how much it will cost to get the ABS up and running again. I am leaning toward ditching it cause I don't really need ABS and its just adding weight.

Hi, encountered the above problem with my Citroen Berlingo yesterday. The steering became very very stiff, to the point that it isn't even possible to drive to the workshop (had to tow) and the aircon also stopped working at the same time. What problem could I be looking at? Any belt system that hooks up the two?

My previous IU had been working fine all along until I bought a new cashcard yesterday. Upon inserting it my IU went dead. I had the IU replaced yesterday. Strangely, today, I inserted the cashcard and the IU died again. Well, I made another to trip to have it replaced again earlier on. Following, that I bought a new cashcard, inserted it - guess what? Yes it died again. Anyone experienced this recently too?
