Good points, thank you. I've been in contact with a repair facility in Franklin, TN which claims to work on only EV's and hybrids. The friendly owner is retired US Army as I am. Jeff was open about working on my 2012 LEAF, assuming he could find a battery pack. He does not have the equipment...

I agree completely, but OTOH, car dealers are in business to make a profit and they toe the company line. Where this BS about cost of a replacement battery pack comes from is Nissan Corporate. Corporate doesn't want any of us to continue driving reliable 2012-era LEAFs. They want to sell...

Here's an update on my 2012 LEAF after I took it to the Dealer (Cool Springs Nissan, Franklin, TN) where I originally purchased the vehicle in December 2011. Vehicle has 55,000 miles. I asked for the following work to be done. 1. Recall Campaign P9312 Leaf Battery Plate Grounding Plate...

I apologize for not being able to give any advice. Your post makes me even more wary about having the main battery replaced on my 2012 LEAF. It's down to about 40 miles range, but everything else is working no problem. I've searched through this forum for many months trying to find even a...

Thank you! Just as I suspected. BTW, my Nissan LEAF is my LAST Nissan product I will purchase. Cheers, Dave

I've read this entire thread. Amazed that Nissan has done it again with a half-baked POS ap. After I bought my 2012 LEAF, everything worked fine, for a few weeks, then I had to log back into the web site, which was another POS, and fiddle with controls. I finally gave up on using the...

Olá Carlos, tive o mesmo sinal de alerta de luz vermelha. Meu carro é modelo 2012. Olhei embaixo de cada um dos bancos dianteiros e descobri que o conector do banco do passageiro dianteiro (air bag) estava desconectado. Acho que fiz isso acidentalmente quando estava limpando o carro. Liguei o...

Sounds logical to me. Thanks for explaining this to me about the DRAM storage. Regards, Dave

My LEAF has been in garage for several days; cold snap last night down to 25 deg F. This morning attempt to start indicated zero miles and lots of flashing lights on dash display. Figured the 12v battery was dead. It was. Charged the little battery up and car started right up. Now for my...

LEAF now shows ~54 miles on GOM after full charge on L2 in my garage. Temperate weather range is about 45 miles =/- 5 miles. 54 on GOM drops rapidly to about 40 after about 3 miles at neighborhood speeds of 25-35. Regenerative braking shows little or none, sometimes one or two rounds marks...

Thank you for that advice. I've read about that here a couple of years ago and done that brake "reset" action several times. Now I automatically turn off the ABS when starting the car and that solves the problem. I thought about pulling the fuse for the ABS but I might need it in snow or ice...

My 2012 Leaf just went over 50,000 miles. Aside from new tires and a new 12v battery, all is good -- except that the brakes "grab" even with the ABS turned off. Anyway, I really need your advice on what I should tell the Stealers to do when I take it in for the 50K service. If it need...

Thanks to all for giving me this advice. After 10+ years of driving the Leaf I've finally figured out how to get it warmed up. LOL very best to all.Regards, Dave

Thank you for your advice. I'll give it a try in a few. Best Regards Dave

Back when I still had the telematic connection I could schedule a pre-heat with the car plugged in. Now, I have not been able to do so manually. Any advice step-by-step? Thanks in advance.
