Hi, Nissan Leaf community this is my first post and I would really appreciate any advice or knowledge you could share with me regarding my issue/experience. I was at the grocery store and put my car into parking. I turned it off ,locked it, and did what i usually do. I didn't have any issues. Then, once i came out of the grocery store, I unlocked the car, turned it on with 50 miles of projected range, and changed gear from parking to reverse. But when I stepped on the accelerator pedal the car would not move. I slammed it and the car would move centimeters or the cars interior would be pushed forward even though the wheels were not moving. I changed the gear into reverse and drive and still no movement. I had already disengage the parking brake and that was not the issue.
Here is my diagnosis. It is not a 12v battery or 24kwh battery issue as they both start and initiate. It is not a "tranny" issue as it able to change directions some what and a noise is produced when i shift the gear lever. It is not a steering issue as when I turn the Steering wheel the wheels change direction with the steering wheel. All the electronics and gauges are working.
What I beleive it could is a brake issue, a parking brase issue, or an electrical issue. Please provide your feedback and diagnosis as all comments help so much. I bought this car for my very small commute to save money and currently being unemployed I need the car to travel and can't afford any expensive repairs. Do you have any ideas to fix a seized brake or brakes? THANK YOU SO MUCH EVERYONE.
