My insurance covered it under the "no fault" guidelines. It all went down very smoothly and quickly and it does not affect my future premiums in any way. (I'm on AAA (California) and this is typical of how they handle all home and auto insurance claims for us. ) As far as pursuing Nissan's...

That's a very good point. I have not yet heard back from my insurance or the dealership. I suspect that they are working on this. I will report back as soon as I know more.

Excellent. Got it. And it does have a charging cord and handle. Thank you.

Thank you so much for this report on what almost certainly occurred. I'm quite disturbed that as a registered user of the Level 2 Blink unit that I was never notified that I was at risk. Also as Leaf owner starting with my first one in 2012, I should have been notified by Nissan that I there was...

Hi - Thanks for your support and for staying in touch. I apologize for the delay. I've been dealing with getting the car serviced, getting a loaner, working with AAA to see if I can get it covered. Plus my job has been very busy ... Anyway here's the latest. The local towing company that Nissan...

The Nissan catalog includes an attempt to explain how to manually unlock the handle when all else fails. But as I mentioned in my original note, I can't clearly identify the screw they are talking about. And the one likely suspect is hard to get to with a screwdriver and did not budge. I...

I do have the Blink Charging system. I can't tell if anything melted but there is no indication that happened. Of course I can't see it because it is stuck.

That seems reasonable. I would love to get the handle out so I can drive it to my dealership. I'm concerned that the charging unit will have to be taken apart or broken in order to tow it if I can't get the handle out.

My model is 2018. I do not see anything that I can actually pry. Do think 2018 may be different? I don't see where I can pry anything on my 2018. It's all quite tight around the charge handle.

No I don't. It is set to Unlock.

I am at home (fortunately). The car was charged up overnight. When I began to unplug the charge connector today (normal 220V) I discovered it was stuck. I have a professionally installed 220V charging station at home. I have have had a Leaf for 7 years using this charger without a problem. I'm...

Thanks everyone, so far .... Here's my summary of what I'm hearing. 1) Tire pressure was reduced (not likely because they consistently top it off in the past to maximize performance - they do the same at Toyota for my wife's Prius) 2) The regenerative breaking may not be giving back as much as...

I believe they always top off my tire pressure every time I get a tune up. They like the tires nice a firm.

That topic was helpful in that it was a parallel situation to mine. Thanks. I posted a link back to this topic to share my story.

I recently posted a description of a very similar experience. http://www.mynissanleaf.com/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=18652&p=402243#p402243" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; I'm still waiting to see if it improves if I give it a little more time to settle in to this latest update.
