It was the 12v battery. It read 10v at the dealership. They replaced it and the car has been back to normal since then. This is a 2014 leaf and I leave it plugged in when I get back in the evening and then unplug it when leaving for work the next day. Is that what caused the battery to go bad...

Thanks. I will have them test it. Hopefully it's as simple as that. Just saw them start it now and it is now showing no warning lights and shifting to gear!

My apologies for necrobumping this thread And the long post. But I am experiencing the same issues as the OP of this thread did. 2014 SV, car was fully charged, inside garage, on a very cold day, I pushed brake hard and pressed start, put it in drive and started driving. Within a minute the PS...

Hi all My 2014 Leaf has 30k miles on it, and lost its first battery bar last week. I have a 34 mile daily commute (17 miles each way), so range is not much of an issue right now, except that I used to be comfortable taking it out for unplanned shopping trips after coming home. I may have to use...

Thanks all. I took the wheel to Pepboys and got them to fit the new tire onto the rim. About the torque wrench, will a 1/2 inch wrench work? I just tightened the lugs with the wrench that comes with the leaf. I am planning on taking the car to a dealer since the low tire pressure warning...

So basically remove the wheel with the flat, take it to any tire shop with the new spare and have them know it has TPMS, and they will remove the old tire and mount the new one on? Spare tire only, yes. Thanks

Hi all I had a flat tire half a mile from home when i was driving in my 2014 Leaf SV to attend to an emergency at work. Since i could not spare the time to seal the tire tear, I drove back home on the flat tire and drove to work in my Prius. Needless to say, the tire is ruined and needs to be...

Thanks. Will try this and see how it goes.

Hi all Had parked my Leaf in a lot and when I came back the right rear and side looks like this. There was no note! The bumper is also pushed in slightly in the indicated area. How would I go about fixing this? Are there paint kits available online? This is a 2014 Nissan Leaf SV. Thanks.

I will ask for a different electrician to tell me if the outlet is indeed a 30 amp rated outlet. Thanks all.

@jjeff. Thanks. So I talked to the guy who installed this outlet for me and he insists that it is a 30 amp outlet, and says it just "looks" like its a 20 amp outlet. He also says "one" of the wires is a 10 gauge and the rest are "200 volt gauge" wires. Nothing he said makes sense to me, so I may...

That is the breaker. That is the outlet. Its only about a couple of feet away from the breaker box. I think its a NEMA 6-20R based on the pictures I have seen. The breaker is rated for 30 amps. The outlet/receptacle seems to be 20 amp. I called EVSEupgrade already. They told me that a) a...

Hi all My wait for a Nissan Leaf may be over. Found a 2014 SV with both QC and Premium package with approximately 27k miles on it for around 11k. The car went through inspection at the local Nissan dealer and I am told that the battery is still in great condition. I think this is the best deal...

Thanks. Also, I came across http://insideevs.com/used-nissan-leaf-buying-guide/ which provides a good overview of model year changes that prospective used Leaf buyers like myself may find helpful, so I am posting it to this thread.

To clarify, the car I am going to test drive seems to have all 12 bars, The picture I posted was from Carmax for a 2013 leaf SV that has 40k miles on it. I posted it only because that was the best picture I could find in order to learn how to read the battery capacity indicator. I am...
