Inefficient Heating/Cooling in '17 Nissan Quest: Seeking Auxiliary Heater or Cli Control System Insights

Hey, I feel ya. I drive an '14 Nissan Altima and had a similar issue not long ago. Mine wasn't heating up quick in the colder months. Turned out you nailed it - it was the electric auxiliary heater that was acting up! The mechanic had to replace the whole thing. It wasn't a minor fix, but seemed quite common for cars around our mileage. Don't stress too much though, once replaced, I haven't had any such trouble again since then. And yeah, it does sound like the cli control system might be involved too, so a proper diagnostics is necessary. So listen, the best advice I can give ya is to get it checked as soon as you can to keep everything running smoothly. Hope this helps ya out just a bit!

If you don't mind me asking, do you remember the ballpark figure you were charged for the replacement? And have you faced any other similar issues since the fix? Thanks again!
