Hello, I have a 2011 Nissan Leaf and I have a warrantable battery situation, sort of. I wanted t know if anyone has had any issues getting the battery replaced under warranty. I lost my 4th capacity bar recently and took it to the dealership to have it checked. The last capacity bar dropped off 17 days after the warranty expired. It's a 5 year, 60,000 mile warranty, I'm at 52,000 miles. I opened a case with Nissan and the Goodwill department said they would pay for 1/2 of the cost which will be over $3000.
I am trying to get them to pay at least 75% but they are not budging. I have a couple OBDII apps on my phone that show the battery has declined below 70% prior to reaching the warranty limit but they won't accept that despite me sending them 2.5 years of solid battery capacity data I've collected with a graph showing my degradation vs what Nissan says I should be at. For the record Nissan says I should be at 70% in 10 years, I'm at 64% at 5 years. I'm pretty hot about this. Being able to drive only 45-50 miles at 3.9 M/KWH is ridiculous.
Any ideas or does anyone know where I can go for legal help? I don't have $3400 right now.
