My airbag warning light started flashing for my 2011 Nissan Leaf. I used Leafspy and it confirmed that the OCS sensor was bad. As you may know, the OCS is embeded in the front passenger seat. Our local dealer wants $3750 to replace the sensor because the entire seat must be replaced. We...

We are proud owners of a 2015 SL. Today, I replaced the broken driver's side door handle. After the repair, everything works perfectly, the doors unlocks and locks as they should and the key FOB works as it should. The car drives fine. However, the display above the steering wheel started...

I think you are right about the seniors. I was shopping at our local super market and an older guy (well, older than me and I'm not young) came up to me and asked if I had just driven a Leaf into the parking lot. To be honest, I started to get defensive because I thought he was getting ready...

I don't have a dog in this fight--just thought my recent experience might be interesting. We took our 2015 SL in to the local dealer for a routine inspection. About a week later, we got a call from the dealer asking if we wanted to sell it. The guy said that there was a shortage of used Leafs...

My only concern if they run out of gas it that I will have to find some way to lock both my Leafs up to keep them away from the gas Zombies. :shock:

Yeah, found this on another site: "Called "Sparky," the Leaf pickup was built by an engineers at Nissan's proving ground in Stanfield, Arizona. Engineers say the bed fit perfectly behind the shortened Leaf cabin, although it did have to be narrowed to fit within the electric car's track. The...

Just purchased our second Leaf, a 2015 SL. We are hopefully set for awhile. I always wanted a pick-up EV. But we would have to wait for the used market to mature and I'm not sure we would still be driving by that time. Oh well . . . :)

Yes, agreed. I think it's worth it on the chance that my local dealer will honor it. I have had no problems with my 2011 Leaf after the main battery was replaced other than replacing the 12V battery myself. Hopefully, I won't need to use the extended warranty anyway.

I agree. I bought the 2015 Leaf a 100 miles from where I live. The Nissan dealer in my area has been great, including helping me get a goodwill main battery replacement on my 2011 Leaf after the warranty had expired. :D

Well, I agree for paying $50 it would give me something to at least argue with the dealer about a repair, but I'm still concerned that they will just say that not all of the scheduled maintenance was done according to the Owner's Manual. I actually had this exact same problem getting a home...

Previous owner has signed the transfer form, so I would need to put together a package to submit to Nissan which includes the transfer form, copy of my title (which I am waiting for DMV to issue), a letter showing transfer date and mileage, copies of complete maintenance documents (previous...

knightmb, Yes, that is the contract in your link. Section 8.08 has the laundry list of exclusions. I will probably grit my teeth and to do it, but even the motor, etc. would not be covered unless I could prove that I did all of the scheduled maintenance required in the Owner's Manual.

Thanks for your reply. This warranty is for 84 months or 100,000 miles. Definitely not bumper to bumper. Besides the main battery, there are lots of exclusions including but not limited to paint, exhaust system, carpet, glass, upholstery, soft trim, moldings, air bag, lenses and bulbs, tires...

I ran a search on this forum for answers to my question about this topic and found three posts, none of which covered my questions. I recently purchased my second used Leaf, a 2015 SL. The previous owner had an extended Gold Preferred (RC) Security+Plus warranty that will run out in 2022...

I had lost four bars and mileage was about 40,000. This may have helped my case: When I bought the car from an individual in the Bay Area, the GPS system had Phoenix information stored (home, points of interest, etc.) I think the Bay Area owner never bothered to change the system data from...
