Wow - you have a Tesla? You're my son's hero. He's always going on about those - it's one of his dream cars (among many). Thanks for the info about the charger in the rain.
Great - thanks for the info. You might want to be a "future Leaf leaser" instead of "future Leaf owner" based on my own experience. Also, it' ridiculously cheap to lease (at least near us). I've seen $109/month for a 24 month lease. Can't beat that.
Anyone know whether it's a problem to hook up the charger in the rain, or if it's hooked up and starts to rain? I haven't been since electricity and water don't seem to be a good mix, but maybe that fear is unwarranted.
I got my Leaf back! 7 weeks and countless phone calls later, I finally received a call from the dealer saying it was fixed and ready to pick up. I've been driving it for a week now (200+ miles) and so far so good (knock wood). Nissan also cut me a check for $500 for my troubles, so I'm pretty...
Day 30. Still not working. Replaced on-board charger twice. Maybe they'll know by Monday. Losing hope. Want my money (and time) back. A complete and utter drag.
I just might get a 2013 lease if they can match the $169/month I'm paying now. It's a pretty great deal. Almost free when you consider what I don't spend on gas.
I'm back! I guess I didn't take the loaner because Nissan would have paid, but it would be through a rental car company and I didn't want to hassle with them if I was in a fender bender. It would have been an added nuisance and I generally don't trust rental car companies. You seem to sign...
Day 21: Still no Leaf in my driveway; dealership still unable to repair it. Called the Nissan complaint desk on Wednesday and had them open a file on the case. They're supposed to get back to me today. Looks like if it can't be fixed I'll have to deal with the Nissan dealer in Manassas that...
In regards to being a pioneer, I think I'd be better off in a covered wagon at this point. The Leaf is still not fixed (2+ weeks and counting) and they're going to put in a new breaker box next week. I get the impression that they're calling Nissan in Japan to get advice. I called the place I...
Thanks for the information on who to contact. The dealer called and they still haven't figured it out. They're doing more testing on Monday and Tuesday. I'll let y'all know what happens. Maybe I'll just get a Hummer instead.
We have 2 other cars for my wife and me to commute to and from work and get around town and kid carpools (Odyssey and Cube), so we don't really need a loaner. They did offer one though. The Leaf was ideal for the commute (we have charging stations in our garage) and the Odyssey is new and...
My Leaf stopped working (wouldn't go into gear and all kinds of warning lights pop up when started) a week and a half ago. I posted here and tried a few of the tips but it still wouldn't work. Had it towed to the local Nissan dealer last Saturday and it's been there ever since (today is...
