No. It was was similar to the EV1's clicking. A single metallic click when coming to a stop, and accelerating from a stop. When I went to the dealer we talked about the greasing of the splines. And, there was even a service bulletin in the system for such a thing. Also, there were several people...

This is a blast from the past. It's been 7 months since this incident. At the time there was an open claim with Nissan in Tennessee, who was working directly with the dealer, while I was corresponding with T.N. weekly. So, picking up and going to another dealer would have been yet another...

I'm totally on board with your assessment. The latest... Yesterday, 4 days after picking up the car, I was leaving for work and the key fob wouldn't work. The push button handle access wouldn't work. Nothing was left on, or open on/in the car. I had to have someone come out and jump the 12v...

I picked the car up on Saturday. Took it for a drive with the tech. It seemed to be fine. At this point everything seems to be crooked/tilted, so I said let me drive it a few days. The tech wasn't being forthright in regards to the issue. He wasn't hiding anything, just wasn't offering up an...

Yeah, the situation just doesn't feel right for something that should be so simple. Thank you for Brian's email. I've been dealing with someone in Nissan's electrification dept. in regards to the motor swap-out. Just placed a call to him regarding this issue. If he isn't helpful I'll...

So, I get the car back. No problem with the clicking. All is good on that front. I drive it for a few days when I notice, out of the blue, the steering wheel is crooked. It's rotated to the right, at about the 2 o'clock position, when I'm to going straight. Let go of the wheel, and the car...

I'm really missing the clicking. I will install a clicking device as to slowly wean myself off of the now absent metallic sound. :)

I Just picked the car up. Finally. No clicking sound on the drive home. On top of replacing the traction motor, they had to replace the traction motor inverter after it failed. So, hopefully everything is fine. Motor is on its way to Nissan so they can figure out what the cause was.

I gave them a call. Thank you, locman. They'll also cover lease payment if it's gone for the 2-3 weeks that was quoted me. They're also calling the dealer to see if they can expedite delivery of the motor. Wishful thinking I'm guessing since they asked me, "is it out of stock"? I guess they...

I'm skeptical too. All things in my mind pointed to the known axle issue. (Though I hadn't heard the sound from those confirmed issues) They said they inspected the car for that. I would really hope they actual did that before going down this path. Seems wildly counterintuitive to do otherwise.

I would say it's an even mix of city & freeway driving. Leaning a bit towards city. Not hard at all. Los Angeles roads, nothing too jarring.

It's crossed my mind... seeing that it appears to be rare. But, if you can't trust the "Leaf expert", who can you trust. ;)

I took the car in Monday (1.20.14) for its first service, and the PDM update. I asked them to look into the sharp metallic click that appeared to emanate from the front left of the vehicle during acceleration from stop (sometimes during coming to a stop). I thought for a while it might have been...
