""I don't remember what the specific problem was with the AC but the mechanic was able to fix it. I had purchased an extended warranty (from Moon Township) which listed the air conditioning as something that was covered. It did not cover it and the extended warranty promptly expired the next month. We had the car shipped from Volkswagen Moon Township in Moon Township, PA. Their inspection team somehow missed all the rust underneath the car. There is concern. The Nissan dealer in my area showed me the extensive rust underneath and refused to do it's first scheduled maintenance check up. They said the rusted bolts might break if they went in and they did not want the responsibility. . i took it to a place i trusted (Everybody's Auto Service) and they did everything on the list for that particular scheduled maintenance visit. no issue. But yet there is rust underneath. Other than my concern for the rust underneat (probably from the salted roads in winter.""
