My 2011 Leaf has worked fine since I bought it in March 2014. It was fully charged last night when I put it in the garage.
This morning, I couldn't get in - the door locks weren't working. I opened the door with the emergency key, but nothing inside the car was working either.
I arranged to have the car transported to the local Nissan dealer, but before that the fellow tried his "jump start" battery across the Leaf's 12V battery. It said "low battery" before he turned on the jump start battery. When he turned on the jump start battery, the car sprang into life. The jump battery almost immediately showed the car battery to be healthy.
Presumably, turning the car on caused the DC-DC charger to help out the car's 12V battery.
I wonder if the car 12V battery has failed, or is failing. That would explain the symptoms.
I'm going to await what the dealer's service department finds, but does anyone here have any other ideas?
