Well, on the plus side, the wiper problem, as suspected was simply a case of the tech forgetting to reconnect it. So as of now, everything appears to be operating within normal parameters. I'm crossing my fingers that this Leaf will now cooperate and be the car I know it *can* be, based on my...

Got my car back with new ECU. Guess it's working great, except I noticed my windshield wipers weren't working while driving home from he shop... /sigh. I'm hoping it's a wire they forgot to plug back in or a fuse or some crap. I just want my Leaf back and fully functional... waaah!

There seem to be a handful of recurring issues that plague a good percentage of the U.S 2013s. Brake leaks/failures, PDU issues, clicking in front left wheel area. Mine's supposed to get it's PDU this upcoming Wednesday or Thursday. If they can get the car back to me on Monday, that will...

I really hope we're a fairly insignificant minority here and that most Leafs (err. Leaves?) are reliably getting 10s of thousands of miles without issue.

Well, add me to the bad PDM list. Car is in shop for the fourth time for 12V battery not charging, therefore killing the car approximately every 6-7 days. They just notified me it's a bad PDM and there are zero in stock in the service channel. Awesome. =(

They recreated the problem in the shop on a hastier time-frame than would normally occur and talked to the "Nissan Engineers", giving them readouts of everything over-the-phone and have a new diagnosis. Now they say it's a bad PDM. Sounds plausible. Problem is, there are ZERO showing in...

That's one thing I'm not really certain of. How do you start the lemon law process? As this failure is both dangerous and causes the vehicle to not function and is in the shop the 4th time, It qualifies under SC lemon laws from what I understand. I'm just not sure where to start the process...

Yep, called that line and they are the ones who arranged the tow on trip 3. What I'd give to have my Grey Leaf back :( Just sent my story to corporate (closed for the day). We'll see if I get a reply. at less than a thousand miles driven, I'm just disappointed. Had my Honda for almost 12...

That number would be handy actually. I called at close today for a status update and the answer was "Nope.. Haven't found anything yet... we charged it and everything says it's ok, but we know that's not gonna work" (duh). And then an hour later, I get a voicemail and the dealership (Crown) is...

Well, yesterday was day 7. Leaving work, back into 12V error, turtle mode again. Limped it into the dealership where things got a little more heated. As this is the fourth time, I've escalated to general manager and corporate. We'll see what comes of it now.

I wish more people who were multi-car homes would give it a try. There's so much range anxiety that is, for 80%+ of the population, really not warranted. I love in Greenville, SC... where you have to drive *everywhere*. On a busy day, I'll use 80% of a charge, and I have the wife's ICE car...

Anytime a new plant comes up, there will be issues. They have Japanese workers and management there training, doing brain-dumps and overseeing the production and quality issues. They will get it where it needs to be. That said, I am kinda' glad I'm leasing this early in the plant's life...

Figure the more quirks that get documented, the better the Leaf and EVs in general will become. This forum is a great place for information. I'll help with my own experiences inasmuch as I can.

Got a call from the dealer. They called the Nissan "tech line", whatever that is, and came to the conclusion replacing the 12V battery would fix my woes. Color me skeptical at this point. I mean, aren't bad 12V Lead Acid batteries rather easy to diagnose? And that still doesn't answer...

Well.. Take three... Leaving work Friday (fully topped off on 220V), the 12V master caution illuminates, along with a battery (pun intended) of other cautions (Traction control, traction control warning, you're going to die screen, etc). Also of note during this stage... similar to the second...

As someone who just totaled a 2013, I can say that the depreciate is pretty rough, but the way the tax incentives get handled in a Lease and because I negotiated price so damn hard, I ended up doing OK on the financial end. It doesn't take much to total a Leaf. My front met a pathfinders rear...

Maybe the cotter pin/lube issue? I was having a metallic click (one man's click is another's twang, right?) on accel and braking. It got worse to the point that it would do it every time I pressed one of the pedals. Dealer replace/torqued hex nuts (where exactly, I dunno... something relating...

They didn't put any version details on my paperwork. Next time I'm in the shop, I'll see if I can get that information, maybe talk to the mechanic (my dealer only has 2 Leaf-certified techs). I worked in the automotive industry on the manufacturing side for 12 years. I now work in Electric...

My 2013 SL had the same click on accel/decal. They replaced the hex nuts andtorqued them to 135 ftlbs, replaced cotter pins and applied molykote 77 to some bearing assembly contact surface three days ago. Fine since. Guess the factory skimped on Grease or something.
