Trust with Nissan is still an issue for me. Our 2012 leaf at time of purchase was advertised to achieve 100 mile range. Finding out that the 24 kWh battery capacity wasn't fully useable. So the 100 mile range wasn't attainable for that reason and possably others. If anyone achieved 100 mile...

We lost our 3rd capacity bar sometime in april. It's amazing a month after the warranty ended. Wouldn't be supprised if nissan programed the computer to make that happen. Result of all the deception and problems Nissan caused this will be the last Nissan I will purchase, lease etc. If the...

Gary I can't find the thread. There was a graph showing an H status of battery before and after the update. The H status was very high prior to the update and went down like off a cliff after the update. The conclusion was the update degraded the health status of the battery leading to much less...

Nissan all but deleted a feature inportant to EVs. Was their fine print we missed indicating they can change how the car works? Prior to the update were we informed what the update would do? Was their deception by Nissan? I'm so frustated with this issue. I left spaces so others can put...

Regen braking not working after update. What if your brake pads were warrantied and the manufacturer shut off power brakes after you purchased the vehicle. The bottom line is how can a manufacturer all but turn off regen braking something that is advertised by nissan the car has. Does Nissan...

The regeneration doesn't work all year. I brought it to the dealer last winter. He said "I got some regeneration". Are you kidding! Some regeneration, how many kW. All year we get a sliver, maybe 1000 watts for a short time. Someone commented it's like putting it in neutral. Thats what it feels...

:oops: Our 2012 Leaf SL is doing well except loosing 2 capacity bars. Also the braking electric regeneration is all but gone. Dealer surveyed the problem and conceders it good because no codes and range is good. Nissan wants me to find another Leaf specialist to diagnose the problem with the...

My 2012 LEAF lost its first bar last summer with 24,000 miles. Second bar this summer with 32000 miles. I'm hoping this won't be a annual summer event. Also not pleased with the lack of regen. It looks to be at 30%-50% of what it was new. Good thing they didn't cut the power that much.

May be a feeble attempt by Nissan to make the battery last longer. We've had some updates that reduced driving range and cut braking regen. Also are battery is down to 10 bars and still shows 70 mile range. This can't be true since with a 100% battery that range would only happen when things...

Does your state have a lemon law? Too many days in the shop, refund..

I just spotted this. According to the rumor mill at AutoExrpess the 2014 Nissan Leaf will boast a whole lot more than the ability to recharge wirelessly: it will cost less , travel further and even be able to power your home. Citing an anonymous source at Nissan, AutoExpress claims the 2014...

We have 10123 miles on our 2012 Leaf SL so far. What is normal driving? Driving the speed limit on the highway or 35-40 mph through the countryside? Driving on the highway in western Connecticut we get upper 60 miler range, heat on take away 12 from that. It doesn't seem to matter if in eco...

I heard and hope to see 175% increase of the battery of the leaf 2013. And maybe more in the 2014 Nissan Leaf, who knows. New battery tech is coming. 2012 Nissan Leaf SL Black 2010 VW Jetta sport wagon TDI

I wish I had another one... We had it 6 weeks and now have 2400 miles.. We use all we can. Fun and cheep to drive. 2012 Nissan Leaf SL Black
