I recently bought out my 2013 Leaf SV with $ 7500 credit offer. pay off was $ 15600 at that time, ended up buying for $ 8100 through the local Nissan Dealer. 48,000 miles with 11 bars and running strong here in warm southern cal. love my leaf. Dealers typically don't know anything about this...

HERE IS THE GRABBY BRAKE TSB: NTB14-017 TELL THIS TO THE TECHNICIAN AND THEY WILL PERFORM THE UPDATE DEALERS TYPICALLY DON'T RECOGNIZE THIS NEED UNLESS YOU POINT IT OUT AND TELL THEM.

my tpms warning light starting blinking for a minute then either remains on or off. this repeated pretty much every day. I refer to the owner's manual and it states that it's most likely due to one of the tire pressure sensor failure or comm failure. took the car in for check up ad they...

my 2013 nissan leaf SV had severe grabby (sensitive) brake issue for 15 months now without resolution. took it to metro nissan in montclair,CA. they failed to admit the issue and did not recognize and tsb or recall on such issue. after test driving, they told me they found nothing wrong...

finally got through to Nissan Consumer Affairs through FACEBOOK. it seems like social media complaints works best these days. they called to make an appt at nearby nissan dealer for TSB: NTB-14-017 to update my program. but I made sure consumer affairs rep known that all dealers should be able...

thanks daniel for the insight on TSB and experience. I will forward your information to nissan service center and see what they say. i'm just surprised at how the dealer nor corp office cannot locate this tsb on my leaf.

my 2013 leaf has been having a well known 'grabby' brake issue where I cannot ever come to a smooth complete stop. I took the car to the dealer for checkup and tech claims he was not able to duplicate the problem and when asked if there were any other same case on other leafs and he says it's...

my leaf has severe grabby brake issue, went to dealer for battery check and told them about the brake issue and they came back with nothing. they claim that brake is fine and there was no recall nor any updates on this issue. I am calling the nissan consumer affairs.

last time I checked, I drive at about 4 miles /kwh which I think is not bad. I try to drive conservatively. I called Edison as they were advertising on helping on saving electricity when owning a EV but no help at all. all they are doing is calculating to see if which basis (tier vs. flat) is...

I drove my new leaf for about 2300 miles now, approaching two months and here my thoughts: let me know what you think. first of all, it's a great car. I like the drive, how it handles, the fact that it's pure electic, never have to stop for gas, great for the environment, low maintanance cost...

i'm assuming 39 miles is round trip? and the low battery lady wakes up with 3 bars left?

I drive from West LA to Claremont almost every Saturday morning and can assure you that 55 (what I drive) is not a problem. From West LA to Claremont on one full charge? if yes, can you give me more details on this round trip?

yes, you're right....DB is definately higher than downtown LA. what I meant to say was that there are no major hills to climb up. 100% I can do, but I don't know about driving 55mph on saturday morning when there is no traffic. I would say more like 60-65 mph is realistic speed.

planning on driving from Diamond Bar, CA to downtown LA, round trip about 65 miles. all highway. mostly flat surface driving, except for couple of low grade hills. it's mostly down grade from Diamond Bar to LA, but vice versa coming back. driving at the range of 60-65mph, ECO OFF, NO AC. have...

got my wife a leaf SV white/light gray couple of days ago. it was sooo hard to find this color which my wife wanted. loving this ev, so quiet and smooth off the onramp of uphill highway ramp, I was quite surprised of it's power to reach high speed so quickly. no shifting of gear and high...
