Is this Don Davis? If so you might want to open a case with 1-800-NOGASEV. My service rep was very, very polite but didn't get up to speed until after I made that call.
Yea...about that, 1-800-NOGASEV was pointless. I called them first thing Monday morning before I dropped my car off in the afternoon. I spent more times going through the menus and on hold than talking to the rep. His response, "Sorry you lost your 4th capacity bar. We don't do anything regarding the battery replacement under warrant. Take it to a dealership and they will initiate the process with Nissan. I will make a note in your file that you lost the 4th bar (didn't take any other info such as mileage or date), but that's all I can do." After that, no other concerns, phone call over.
Soooo point in the future - nissan hotline no help on battery replacement.
I am starting to get this sickening feeling of a repeat of what happened when my OBC went bad. Nissan hotline was no help (blamed me) and the dealership was slow and then told to stop helping by Nissan (again blaming me). It took weeks to get it straight
. Its almost been two total business day hours and I still don't have a response if my battery is qualified for the warranty....and looking at myleaf's replacement speed, I am really concerned now that something is up. Maybe they pulled a TickTock and reset my bars.
But I just need to be patient, they could be busy, or somewhat unsure of what to do, or Nissan might have changed their policy on using the warranty with the "opt out fisaco - or OOF(tm)" that is occurring, but I am not an opt-outer. Who knows, maybe its taking longer because of a heat resistant battery! (I like that thinking) or they want to buy the car back because of the other major problem it had with the OBC (I like that thinking too). Or maybe its all going as planned and the rep just doesn't know what to relay back to me.
