  Infotainment system frequently resets. This occurs rarely at times while driving (inconvenient, not a significant problem) but it frequently occurs within 10 seconds of starting car at which time the backup camera cannot display. This is a safety concern because it means backing up without safety backup camera working.

  This vehicle has recall with fast charging component. When we purchased this pre-owned car, the remedy date for this recall was given as November 2024. Hence we purchased this vehicle even though there was a recall. Now the remedy date on the website shows as March 2025. Because of which we are not able to use this vehicle to go office where we could have charged the vehicle using fast-EV charger in office parking. It is inconvenient for us.

  The vehicle has developed fluctuating range estimates when going up steep grades on the highway. I was traveling at about 72 mph on a 5% grade with a 50% battery charge and a 60-mile range estimate. The range instantly started to drop from 50% to 40%, then 20%, then 10%. The car then entered what is called “turtle mode,” which limits the top speed to 20 mph. I managed to get the car off the highway onto an off-ramp, and then the battery percentage returned to 50% and turtle mode was deactivated. I was told that the battery pack has a weak cell, and under heavy load, the car’s software detects the lowest voltage in the battery pack, triggering the turtle mode. This is a dangerous situation, as the car loses acceleration and can suddenly drop from 70 mph to 30 mph, putting the driver at risk of being rear-ended or causing an accident. I have recorded this event on camera for reference. I am aware that Nissan has an open recall for fire hazards related to Level 3 charging, but these vehicles are also plagued by faulty high-voltage battery packs.

  Nissan announced recall R24B2 on September 19, 2024. The vehicle is at risk of overheating/fire when FAST CHARGING. Nissan has not provided ANY solution to this issue in the 14 months the recall has been open. Dealers have no information, Nissan says they are "working" on a software fix but give no date or schedule for repair. The official response from Nissan Corporation has been to tell us that they believe the recall solution of "DO NOT FAST CHARGE" is sufficient and they do not need to provide us any further assistance or compensation. The vehicle cannot be driven further than a single charge will allow because major EV charging station companies have now BANNED Nissan Leaf's from using their stations because of fire risk. This means outside of my HOME, I cannot charge the Leaf AT ALL. There is no usability of a vehicle that cannot be charged or powered outside of the home for risk of fire or damage to the battery. I was charged MORE money to have fast charging and a larger battery in this vehicle to be able to utilize it for ALL of my driving needs, including the ability to fast charge to increase range of the vehicle. Our vehicle had swollen battery modules that had bent or damaged the stacks and required a new battery to be installed due to the swelling of the modules leaving the vehicle unable to power on. Nissan replaced the battery in October 2025, but informed us despite a NEW battery the vehicle STILL CANNOT BE FAST CHARGED, as they are still unsure of how to fix the rapid heating of the cells. The vehicle will likely see the same swelling and degradation of the batteries without a PROPER solution from Nissan, leaving me to minimize any driving of a vehicle I am actively paying for, to avoid risk to my family, home and vehicle.

  The issue with our car is that the Distance-to-Empty (DTE) calculation for miles remaining for battery charge is very inaccurate. This issue causes the car to prematurely alert the driver that the battery is depleted when it truly is not depleted. While not a true safety issue, it's a driver distraction that can certainly lead to a safety issue. Here's an example of the problem: 1. Fully charge vehicle- the DTE registers 223 miles remaining; reset trip meters. The LeafSpy application shows a 215.9 miles which appears the more accurate reading. 2. Drive 158 miles, the DTE now says only 3 miles remaining. (The DTE dramatically drops after 100 miles of driving each time). The car's historic miles/KWH is 3.9 and is consistent so issue is not related to lost efficiency. 3. Drive another 14 miles to 172 miles, LeafSpy indicates a 23.8% Battery State of Charge and 49.5 miles remaining to 2% charge 5. Check the math for LeafSpy: 216 - 172 = 44 miles 6. I have been auditing the car for a few months and LeafSpy is super accurate. The battery is good, the Nissan DTE calculation is not. We have taken the car to two dealers and have contacted Nissan EV Customer support (1-877-664-2738). I warned Nissan I was going to issue a report so things get documented more.

• 10/16/2024· ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

  Received a notification from Nissan Corporation that my 2019 Leaf is the subject of a safety recall concerning risk of lithium ion battery fire during Level 3 charging. The notice explains that the vehicle's lithium-ion battery may experience "excessive lithium deposits within certain battery cells which could increase electrical resistance and result in a fluctuation in the state of the charge." The notice explicitly cites that the battery may contain excessive lithium deposits but the potential remedy (it has not been issued yet) relates only to a softwear update to prevent rapid heating of the battery. However, there is no remedy planned or addressed to the problem of "excessive lithium deposits" which increase electrical resistance and the impact of that damage to the battery life, performance, deterioration or efficiency. The NHTSA report actually cites specific batteries installed in the Leaf model years implicated in the resulting safety recall. It is essential that NHTSA evaluate the impact of these batteries, the effect of excessive lithium deposits on the car's general safety and performance and the necessity of requiring full replacement of batteries damaged by this defect. The issue of damaged batteries is inextricably related to the safety recall and fire risk. As the problem of damaged batteries is confirmed by Nissan Corporation's Recall Notice and cited in the Defect Information Report filed by Nissan with NHTSA (which reference the specific battery components involved), these defective batteries should be subject to replacement.

  2019 Nissan Leaf. On multiple occasions during hard acceleration the throttle would stick wide open and not release. 06/15/21, 06/29/21, 07/23/21, 10/01,21. I would have to stomp on the brake pedal and make several attempts before I could get the throttle to release. I have reported the issue to the Nissan dealership and on 10/02/2021 they diagnosed it as a braking issue and said they found no problem or faults. The issue is intermittent and has been reported by other Nissan Leaf owners. Very dangerous issue that needs resolved!!

• 10/01/2024· SERVICE BRAKESCrash

  I am writing to report a serious safety issue with my Nissan Leaf that needs immediate attention. On two separate occasions, the brakes have failed completely without any warning while driving. A warning light appeared, stating "T/M System Malfunction Warning - See Dealer," but by that time, the brakes had already stopped working. The only way to stop the vehicle was by using the emergency brake, which is extremely dangerous and could easily lead to a fatal accident. The first incident occurred when I was able to quickly pull into a Walmart parking lot, luckily avoiding other vehicles. The second time, the car crashed into the side of my garage and hit a tree stump in my driveway, causing damage to the rear of the car and breaking the side mirror. I was fortunate enough to engage the emergency brake before the car entered the road, but it was a terrifying experience that could have ended much worse. Fortunately, did not happen while my teenage children and their friends were driving the car. After researching this issue, I was shocked to discover that many other Nissan Leaf owners have experienced similar brake failures dating back to 2012. This is not an isolated incident, and I am deeply concerned that it continues to happen without resolution. When I brought my car to the dealership, they informed me that the issue is related to the Intelligent Brake Unit Controller, and the repairs would cost $5,000. However, my vehicle is only five years old with 62,000 miles, and I believe this defect should be addressed by Nissan, not at the owner's expense. I urge you to take immediate action to investigate this dangerous defect. There is no warning before the brakes fail, and this puts drivers and others on the road at extreme risk. Does it really take a fatal accident for Nissan to address this issue? This problem has been ongoing for years, and it’s unacceptable that it has not been resolved. I hope that you will take this matter seriously and provide a solution befo

  The Backup Camera only works intermittently and if it is not working it will not begin working again unless the car is completely turned off and restarted. The failure seems more likely to occur if the car is started and then quickly put into reverse. The failure seems less likely to occur, but still does periodically, if the car is started and then not put into motion until 10-20 sec after the dash start-up graphics have finished. When the camera is failing the display is solid magenta colored with static-lines scrolling through it. The safety issue is that the rear camera cannot be used. We have not yet shown this problem to anyone else. There were no warning lights or alarms indicating a failure. The failure occurrence was very infrequent when we bought the car (new) in 2019, but now is happening at least 50% of the time that we back out of our garage.

  On 9/17, 2019 Nissan Leaf S 40 kWh lost braking power just after start up. I started the vehicle, placed the vehicle into drive and went to creep through open parking spot. The brake pedal was either dead or lost enough power to feel dead. The vehicle was returned to park in order to stop slow roll. No injuries or damages. Experience seems similar to NHTSA ID 11488058. I don’t recall whether any warning lights came on as I rushed to power down the car. No indicator lights illuminated after restart and vehicle drove home without issue. A few hours prior to brake issue, a humming/ringing sound was heard throughout the cabin just after shutdown. My passengers also observed the sound, which stopped after powering on the vehicle and turning the fan dial. This had not happened before and only occurred once. On 09/18, the vehicle indicated “Warning: Service EV System No Power”. Numerous warning lights were illuminated, a photo taken, and a tow truck scheduled. Two hours later, I went to check whether the vehicle could be placed into neutral. The vehicle started and went into gear without issue and no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the dealership for inspection as precaution. My 12V battery was the original battery, so I suspected it needed replacement and asked the dealership to test it. I have read online about other issues from Nissan Leaf owners when the 12V battery is deteriorated. Dealership confirmed 12V battery failed testing. They were not able to duplicate the brake issue described above. The only time that the vehicle provided a warning about the 12V battery was when it generated the warning described above once. Otherwise, no indication that battery needed replacement. Nissan needs to provide a system update to give the driver more specific 12V battery health information. Also address the 12V battery more clearly in maintenance schedule. Vehicle operating as expected with a new 12V battery installed.

  The back up camera does not work half of the time. When the car is put in reverse, the screen in the console shows only black. Because the car has many blind spots and a small back window, this makes backing up difficult. The other day I almost ran over my neighbors kid and I was being extra cautious. Every time we've taken the car to the dealership for repair the camera start working again. Other Nissan Leafs from this same year were recalled for a similar issue, but ours was not. Nissan needs to expand the recall to more vehicles. We have picture evidence that the camera does not work, but because the dealership can't replicate the issue they will not cover the cost of repair even though this problem is identical to issues from a previous recall.

  On 7/19/2024 while charging the car at Chargepoint Johns Creek, I heard a "clunk" sound as if something had popped off from beneath the body of the Leaf. At the same time, the charging emergency stopped. Smoke started to come out from under the Leaf. There was a smell as if something was melting, making me feel dizzy and nauseous. I felt a sense of confusion from inhaling the smoke. Since both my son and I were outside the car, we were able to quickly pull away and escape as soon as the smoke started. If we had been inside the car, or if this had happened while driving, we might have been unable to escape in time, lost consciousness from the smoke, and possibly died in the fire. The smoke continued for about 15 minutes, followed by a fire. At the same time, there was a sound of something exploding. The police arrived, followed by the fire truck. It took a long time to extinguish the fire, possibly because the lithium battery caught fire. Please refer to the video. ︎Mental and Physical Condition After the Accident Both my son and I are experiencing symptoms similar to PTSD. When we smell smoke or drive a car, we feel chills, nausea, and dizziness, which negatively affect our daily lives. This incident left burn scur to my son and has started having nightmares and crying at night. Seeing an electric vehicle scares us to the point that our bodies freeze and we can't move. Also, seeing fire or hearing car sounds suddenly makes us tremble, our hearts race, and we have difficulty breathing. We start crying uncontrollably in a panic, and it takes time to calm down. It is difficult to control our emotions. We are experiencing insomnia, likely due to the excitement of our nerves from the accident. We probably need mental treatment such as therapy and physical treatment to alleviate insomnia and tension.

  I own a 2019 Nissan Leaf that is subject to safety recall # RS4B2. Outrageously, while this safety recall was issued almost a year ago, Nissan has to date still not offered an actual remedy. Instead, for the last year, Nissan's "remedy" has been to simply instruct Leaf owners to indefinitely refrain from DC fast-charging our vehicles. This instruction is not only logistically absurd - akin to telling the owners of gas vehicles that they can't visit gas stations for an entire year - but also financially damaging: it has rendered our vehicles totally unusable for many driving applications for almost a year. As such, Nissan's instruction to its customers to indefinitely refrain from using their vehicles the way they were marketed and sold is not merely an inconvenience but rises to the level of consumer fraud. I have asked Nissan to provide just one of the following, all of which they have refused: 1. a loaner Nissan Leaf capable of safely DC fast charging 2. an offer to repurchase my Nissan Leaf 3. a statement in writing from Nissan USA that while waiting for Nissan's still non-existent remedy to its safety recall, I may continue to DC fast-charge my Nissan Leaf without voiding the 8-year/100,000-mile battery warranty. I would be willing to accept any one of these three solutions at Nissan USA's choosing. What I am not willing to accept is being told that, until Nissan gets around to releasing a remedy to a safety recall that it issued almost a year ago, I may not use the car that I purchased according to its specifications. What can NHTSA do to force Nissan to resolve this issue?

  The ability to make calls through Apple CarPlay was an important consideration when I purchased both of these cars. This was especially the case because my insurance company, for safety reasons, monitors whether I make handheld calls while driving. Both cars have an issue when you try to do a phone call through Apple CarPlay. When I try to make a phone call, it is choppy and full of static, and makes a loud cracking sound, making phone calls nearly impossible. The problem is not intermittent; it happens with every call. The inability to make handheld calls while driving presents a significant safety risk. I have tried 4 different USB cables, and I have tried different phones. My phone is an Apple iPhone 12 Pro with Software version 15.4.1. I have also tried an iPhone 13 Pro. I took both cars to Nissan dealerships to try to have the problem fixed.

I don't consider Nissan's behavior to be "timely" in this matter.

  My 2019 Nissan Leaf has been under recall since September 2024 (Recall #24V700000) due to being a fire hazard when using Level 3 chargers, also known as fast charging. I understand that issues can take time and specialized parts to resolve a recall. However, it is now 10 months later and Nissan still has no remedy to offer for this issue, leaving me unable to safely utilize this key feature. As a result of this delay, I have not been able to drive my vehicle on longer trips and instead make alternate arrangements like renting a vehicle at my own expense. This is also limiting my ability to sell or trade in the vehicle, which ultimately has diminished its value. While I have not suffered direct physical harm from Nissan's delay in resolving this recall, it has negatively impacted the quality and long-term value of the product.
