    Replacement tires- need sugestions

    I just had to put new Ecopia's on our Leaf after only 24,000 miles due to excessive edge wear during the state inspection a few days ago... The first set lasted 37,000 miles, and I was expecting at least that much out of the second set. Outer edges were worn clean smooth though, and the center...

    Last Week before End of 5 year period - Any options?

    My car did the same thing as the anniversary approached cause I bought my car in March and that is when the weather starts warming up. So I had hope, but as the weather warmed the car went from 42ahr to 44ahr and I knew my chance was shot. Took all the way until a few weeks ago to finally get...

    The Battery Replacement Thread

    I just got my car back on Saturday, and replacement was done at no cost to me. Battery has definitely been replaced. Dealership had initially told me they fully charged it with QC, so when I get in the car as it was booting it only showed 67 miles. I realized after it booted and only had 7 bars...

    Nissan "Out-of-Warranty" support for battery pack degradation

    Just as a follow up I did get the car back on Saturday, and replacement was done at no cost to me. Battery has definitely been replaced. Dealership had initially told me they fully charged it with QC, so when I get in the car as it was booting it only showed 67 miles. I realized after it booted...

    Nissan "Out-of-Warranty" support for battery pack degradation

    I can definitely agree with this. While I am grateful for the assistance I have received I was prepared to pay some of the costs out of pocket since the car did go over the warranty period. Knowing how much it sucks to have reduced range, and have to monitor defroster usage in the middle of...

    Nissan "Out-of-Warranty" support for battery pack degradation

    I opened my case around 22 August, and got approval on 12 September if that helps with trying to figure out a time line.

    Post Your Battery Degradation Results

    I am going to have to look at my paperwork to see when I got the battery check done when I get home from work, because I called as soon as I got home from the dealer that day. I called somewhere around 22 August, and then got final approval on 12 September. That is unfortunate if they really did...

    New traction battery, what I've discovered about regen and range

    That is excellent news. I can't wait to get my car back with the new battery installed. The regeneration on our LEAF with the old battery and our 2016 Volt is a night and day experience. Over the years the LEAF degraded to the point where as you said I only saw 1 or 2 regen bubbles even if I...

    Post Your Battery Degradation Results

    Thanks. I actually do enjoy the car, and it has been the longest now I have ever owned any single car as I am usually not happy with any car. So while the traction battery is being replaced I am having the 12V battery replaced as well (is the original). Also getting the TCU upgrade to 3G, and...

    Post Your Battery Degradation Results

    Yeah the car is in for the battery replacement now at no cost to me. They are just waiting for the battery lift and some other stuff to come in to finish it.

    Post Your Battery Degradation Results

    I don't have all the details from my car as I am not getting it back before the battery is changed out. 4th bar dropped somewhere around 42ahr though, and the battery is currently being changed at 41.4ahr, 57,007 miles, and 5 and a half years old. Surprised how quickly the battery went here in...

    Nissan "Out-of-Warranty" support for battery pack degradation

    Maybe so.. Then again maybe my dealer went to bat for me as they have always been excellent and taken care of me. On the first follow up he said he was still awaiting a response from "other departments" within Nissan about my request for assistance. Last week when he called he told me that they...

    BATTERY LIFE ISSUE

    Interesting the 13's had a straight charge to 80% feature. I always wished my 2012 had it when I was using the 80% timer. I just set the timer to 30 minutes prior to me leaving for work everyday and never had any issue though. To be honest I don't even feel my battery pack was ever exposed to...

    Nissan "Out-of-Warranty" support for battery pack degradation

    Well I got the call back and they are covering 100% for me. The only thing I can see that I have done differently from other people on here is I have always done the battery check for the last 5 years within days of my anniversary date. I have also gotten all the recommended maintenance done on...

    BATTERY LIFE ISSUE

    For the first 3 years of the lease of my 2012 I followed the charge to 80% recommendation unless I needed 100% to make a journey. After I bought the lease out I started charging to 100% as the battery started to degrade, and now my car is currently in getting the battery replaced at 5 and a half...

    Nissan "Out-of-Warranty" support for battery pack degradation

    Good to see you got the 80/20 settlement. I took the car in to the dealership a couple weeks ago to try and go through them first only to tell me I needed to be missing 9 capacity bars to qualify for the warranty. So I called the EV hotline the same day and got a follow up phone call today...

    NissanConnect EV / Telematics Hardware Update, for the post-2G world

    Nope haven't seen anything else since the original mailer. Is probably being worked on with the 30kwh battery upgrade for the 11-15 cars. :lol:

    Antifreeze ? Color ?

    Just so you know the coolant in the Leaf is actually a special kind of coolant that is resistant to high voltages, and specifically made for the electronic components in the car as the coolant runs through the electric motor, inverter, and the electric heater. The Leaf components run at much...

    Capacity Loss on 2011-2012 LEAFs

    Well it has taken a week for me to get around to coming on here, but I lost the 3rd bar a week ago at 45,467 miles on the clock and just a little under 4 years 5 months old. Car still seems to have between 48-52 usable miles with the HVAC running. Readings I took with LEAFDD are showing...

    12v Battery

    I just keep topping up the distilled water in mine, and have never had an issue. We tend to use the Leaf multiple times a day though, and that might be why ours hasn't had an issues with the battery yet. I have been debating just replacing the battery since it is 4 years old before I had any...
