    In the market for a used Leaf.

    The more I read, the more ambiguous what the “right” thing to do is. Big picture, when I bought the car used in 2019 it worked perfectly for my needs and I charged every other day-ish on a normal commute, but more recently have charged every night. The capacity was already degraded a bit when...

    In the market for a used Leaf.

    This is it. I asked about capacity of new battery prior to install and the service guy said it was a 30. But after install he let me know it was in fact a 40 and mentioned “rumors of the 30 being discontinued.” The PDF linked above seems like that’s accurate and not just a rumor, unless that...

    Battery warranty replacement claim - how to begin?

    Sorry you’re having a rough go of it. The first dealer I tried to have take care of mine didn’t seem interested so I didn’t push it on them. Luckily I have plenty nearby to choose from being in a major metro area. Second dealer was great, although took since July when we got authorization...

    Battery warranty replacement claim - how to begin?

    Picked it up today. Turns out I did get upgraded to a 40 kWh battery which is pretty great considering I bought it used and never saw the full capacity of the smaller battery. It has very little mileage on new battery so far but the guess-o-meter thing estimated 170ish miles on full charge...

    Dropped mine off today. Also got a loaner.

    Battery warranty replacement claim - how to begin?

    Still waiting, but hopefully it’ll be soon since they seemed hopeful around Christmas. I think I got approved around July. So far it’s been drivable for me though so not a ton of inconvenience yet. But my range keeps shrinking which eventually will become an issue if nothing happens soon...

    Battery warranty replacement claim - how to begin?

    Right before Christmas I was informed by local dealership that corporate told them parts will arrive by the end of the year. We both laughed and agreed that wasn’t too many days away, but we shall see.

    Turtle mode on freeway?!?!

    What are the chances? As soon as car starts acting up, but before I called them about it, I get a call from dealer saying they were notified parts will arrive by the end of the month. Should have new battery soon!

    Turtle mode on freeway?!?!

    Not sure when it happened, or if it’s related, but I’m actually at 7 bars. LeafSpy says SOH is 56.93%.

    Turtle mode on freeway?!?!

    That makes sense. It’s Southern California, but it’s been chilly. I’ve tried to keep track whether there’s an immediate drop in capacity on any reading, etc but haven’t noticed anything for sure. I feel like this mornings blip made the capacity reading drop, but not positive. I know I wasn’t...

    Turtle mode on freeway?!?!

    2016 SL - under 50k miles - 8 bars (approved but waiting on parts for warranty replacement) First off, I’ve been waiting 4 months for parts for battery to be replaced under warranty, but the car has worked for my needs so far. I know it goes into turtle mode when the battery is REALLY low...

    Battery warranty replacement claim - how to begin?

    For the record, I’m still waiting on parts.

    Battery warranty replacement claim - how to begin?

    I ended up speaking to a very helpful person from corporate hotline who ultimately needed an updated battery test on record. The first dealer didn’t actually run the test so I made appointment at different dealer. Test quote was $180. Test results were sent to corporate the following business...

    Battery warranty replacement claim - how to begin?

    Just to confirm, the warranty is supposed to guarantee minimum 9 bars, right? I took it in for regular maintenance stuff and had them check the battery so there’s be a record before I called the hotline. They let me know I was still under warranty, and if it drops to 7 bring it in right away...

    Will do. Anything I can expect that they’ll throw at me to somehow says it’s my fault?

    In the market for a used Leaf.

    Thanks to some help in another thread, I’m pretty sure I can confidently say the firmware update was done a few years back. I assume contacting Nissan is my next step, whether directly through dealer or via a hotline of some sort. Anyone with experience care to share any recommendations?

    Battery warranty replacement claim - how to begin?

    Thank you for that! Assuming I am following instructions correctly it looks like I have the C version.

    Battery warranty replacement claim - how to begin?

    I do have LeafSpy and a dongle, but I’m gonna be fully honest, I don’t know what most of it means. I usually only open app/pay attention to it when I’m getting near “empty”. What screen am I looking for? I did also check Vin via the link provided (thank you!) and the page was blank besides...
