We have a '12 Subaru Impreza for longer trips (averaging 30 or so MPG), as well as trips to the ski slope or out on forest roads for hiking (though I bet our LEAF could handle it, the Impreza is better-equipped). Didn't get much use until my daughter arrived and my wife went on maternity leave...

Thanks, all! I wasn't too concerned, seeing as I know heat pumps are noisy! Having graduated from an '11, I'm used to silence, but I'll gladly take a little noise in exchange for better heater efficiency come winter time. That PTC heater was a killer! I happen to have a service appointment...

I upgraded to a '14 from my '11 a little more than a week ago. Walked out to my car while it was pre-cooling, and noticed that the heat pump is pretty loud, definitely louder than the non-HP climate control in my '11. I shut off the A/C, leaving just the fan, and it got quiet, so it isn't the...

Turns out the sensor is faulty. They're going to fix it next week.

Based on some discussion up here in Seattle, it sounds like dealerships are only handing them out to people who purchased in July. Those who purchased before should receive them via mail. My guess is that the July people probably just missed the first wave of mailing, so the dealerships got...

EZ-Charge. Not sure as to the messaging from Nissan, but my dealership had me stop in and pick it up yesterday. I was able to register it this morning. FYI, if you have an existing ChargePoint account, it gets fussy if you try to use the same e-mail address for that portion of the...

Just picked up my EZ-Charge card from my dealer today. Went online to register... and it didn't recognize my VIN. Waiting to hear from their support people. :roll:

I am pretty sure they were off. I'll double check and report back. Thanks! Even if they were on though, I would hope that the dimming of the nav and instruments would occur independently of the headlights (which I left on all the time, anyhow). That's how it was in my '11, which led me to...

Hi all, Just upgraded from my '11 to a '14, and love it. One problem has appeared though. When I use the "auto" headlights mode, the headlights always come on, even if it's blazingly bright out. That doesn't bug me so much as the fact that my nav goes into night mode. I've checked the...

Had the same issue at my work. Another LEAF owner and myself wound up charging on the same circuit, and blew the fuse. Our facilities folks explained their outlet-labeling scheme, and how to avoid sharing circuits. Basically just park as far away from the other guy as possible. :) What's an...

+1 Probably my biggest gripe, though some might argue it trivial, I don't think it is. Nissan would likely buy back a lot of goodwill by doing something like this for the vanguard owners.

Pretty much what we had hoped. I'm very relieved at this news. While I have experienced substantial battery degradation, I'd like to hold out to see whether backwards compatibility will be maintained for the '11s when the next-generation battery comes out. Even if not, it's nice to know that...

Sorry. I wasn't trying to troll or cause a ruckus. I just don't see how some can think Nissan should somehow be shielded from criticism, given all that has taken place.

Do you work for Nissan? I see no demagoguery here. thankyouOB and others are rightfully pissed off!

Yeah, I probably should have tempered my language a bit more still. :P

I am still in love with my LEAF, and am an old timer myself, but am no longer in love with Nissan. I think much of the fanboyism is gone, save for a few here in the PNW who are trying to justify going to all-LEAF garages to themselves. When people ask about the LEAF, I'm no longer lavish in my...

Somebody apparently didn't read the whole thread. :shock: We didn't opt out of the expanded warranty; we opted out of the settlement class. There's a substantial distinction to be made there.

I got notification of the enhanced warranty a full 2-3 months ahead of the settlement paperwork, with no personal knowledge of the class action, and no mention in the accompanying paperwork. I remember this very clearly; the enhanced warranty was an automatic add-on, offered with no strings.

^^this, and not being given a price for purchase of a new battery, are the irksome points for me.

I've reached out to my dealership today. When I first heard about this from Keith (QueenBee), I felt relief when it sounded like it was just a matter of missing battery usage checks. It sounds now though like this may be connected to the opt-out. At 54K and 81% SOH, I doubt the warranty would...
