Last night was a scary experience. I've taken our 2018 Leaf SL down to --- on the dash before and only had ever lost a few grey power bars before.
However, last night the bars disappeared very rapidly after the first 3. I mean like a bar ever few seconds until it was down to 2 grey bars. We weren't able to keep up freeway speeds even though this all happened between 2 exits on the freeway.
We got off on Bake Parkway, crawling and then the vehicle started to shudder violently. Thankfully we we able to pull over the the side and then I switched it to Neutral.
LeafSpy still showed 9.6% SoC when this ordeal was over, with 3.0kWh still in the battery. It also showed 7 miles to 5% battery, so this was an utter shock.
Turtle mode wasn't even on for a minute before things started shutting down and hard.
This doesn't seem normal. The batter still shows 11/12 health bars at 78% SoH, but something seems wrong.
Any thoughts? I will be contacting Nissan, yet again.
Thanks!
