+1, considering in most previously reported cases like this they were pretty strict on paying nothing.

-1 I disagree. We are talking days on this one. Days. really, it's not our problem if it's out a few days? Most things, yes, but at over 6k a pop for the battery, I'd be pushing it for a full 100%. I will not get such for my 2012 SL. It's battery is still on 11 bars, so I'll never get it down to 8 in time.

If I have a 5 year (for example) warrantee on anything, and I contact the manufacturer after the 5 years, any discount the manufacturer gives me is a gift.
I don't care if it is 10 minutes after the end of 5 years, or a year, it is all a gift.
Now, it is good PR, and is great for holding onto a customer, but it is a gift.

They did produce delays but it was already 5 days past the warranty expiration before the initial contact was made.

One person that was over the mileage limit reported that after numerous email contacts with numerous Nissan managers that Nissan finally did agree to replace the pack.rpmdk said:... Has Nissan done anything for people who miss the warranty?
No it does NOT. And, you're probably talking about a 30 kWh battery NOT kW, which Nissan has numerous times either made statements that it's not compatible with pre-2016 cars or that there's no upgrade path (for whatever reason). Please find verbiage in the warranty or settlement that says a pre-16 Leaf or any Leaf w/24 kWh battery is entitled to a 30 kWh battery.Jeffoff said:I then told her that the capacity warranty states that as long as it fails within the 5 years or 60,000 miles, the battery will be replaced with their latest 30kw battery.
We already addressed the first point. http://www.mynissanleaf.com/viewtopic.php?t=13192 saysJeffoff said:I then stated no where does it say that the car must be brought to a dealer to prove the 8 bar drop. I said this is the electronic age where we can now simply read the car's computer and go by it.
Nissan's under no obligation to. You missed the warranty date. They don't want to have to pony up the parts and labor that retails north of $6K. Think of it from their point of view. How much profit do you think they've made on your Leaf? How much if any is there after replacing a battery pack?Jeffoff said:Once they got you past that 5 year date, they won't even listen to you.
There is no "cold hearted trick". The warranty is clear as is their legal obligation, per the terms of the class action settlement. Remember, the '11 and '12 Leaf shipped with NO capacity warranty at all. You keep wanting to read into things to your advantage.Jeffoff said:Nissan cold hearted tricks they did on me. Wow I hate them, and this will cost them a lot in financial damages as I tell my story to others.

I wouldn't call taking advantage of a crappy warranty brought on by a class action lawsuit that sold out the class "gaming the system". Whether the car needed warranty replacement of the battery under the original owner or to a savvy buyer is immaterial. Nissan put themselves in this position of pissing people off because their product was not properly tested and thus did not live up to the claims they boldly made prior to the sale.Jedlacks said:So you bought an old Leaf with the intention of gaming their system to get a new battery? You cut it a little close and got caught on a technicality, and now you want to cause them financial damage all by yourself by telling "everybody" not to buy a Leaf??
Well, your only dog may be that you really expected to be around 53 Ahr (80% original capacity) instead of < 75%. And that's with babying it. One shouldn't have to worry about babying the battery and still expect to hit Nissan's estimates of remaining capacity. Instead you've babied it and are still falling short.Stoaty said:I don't have a dog in this fight.
[/This thread title should really start with "Nissan Won't Honor Expired Capacity Warranty", which is what really happened.
I agree 100%.
