Most maintenance isn’t going to show up on carfax unless it was done at a manufacturer dealer AND they chose to document it for the carfax system. As for AC refrigerant most people don’t do this until they have problems. I’ve not heard of this being critical to the Leaf but even if it is go...

I live in Meridian and bought a ‘14 in ‘19 then sold it just over a year ago because I needed more range and didn’t have the money to just buy a second car. Wish I had been able to keep it but it was a good experience. Mine had 84% SOH when I got it and then 77 when I sold it two years later. I...

Just thought I'd follow up after having the car almost 2.5 years now, 52K miles on it. Not a single problem with it, drive it daily. Our routine hasn't changed much, so its still been a great runner. Electricity is still $0.08 or $0.12 per kW/h so its only costing me about $15-20 a month to run...

Good luck with the newer Leaf hopefully it serves you better.

Airbag module, possibly the clockspring, module reset or replacement, and the crash sensor behind the front bumper. This would need to be done properly or the replacement airbag won’t deploy in an accident and you’ll have airbag light on the dash. I’m not exactly sure the procedure but I had a...

On the nav screen. There is setting I think labeled comfort and convenience or something and iKey was off after changing settings via LeafSpy.

Well congrats on the Tesla... with thermal management they should in theory last much longer an for the most part I think that is being proven. I'm curious though, as I find your statement "I didn't take it to Nissan to have it looked over" a bit odd. What did you mean by this? Has the vehicle...

Well if you only need it for two years and 10 miles round trip why not try and find an older, much cheaper Leaf? Even a 6 bar 2011 will work out just fine for you and would be half the cost. I know you said there are only 2015s and newer but are you sure? These things lose value so quickly...

My understanding is that the SV models were the only ones that came with LED low beam headlamps as opposed to the halogens on all other models. The LED lights have a somewhat bluish appearance. The LED headlamps do have what looks just like a HID ballast, but it is actually an LED driver. It is...

I found the problem, apparently any time one of these settings is changed via Leaf Spy the i-key stuff in the computer gets turned off. I turned it back on and now all is working again, with my desired settings intact. Mildly annoying quirk but there you go. Thanks for helping out everyone.

No the issue started right after changing settings. One of my FOBs has a brand new battery as well and I'm still having the issue. Wonder if removing the 12V battery for a while will rest it all to defaults...

Yeah generally I don't leave it plugged in anyhow, I try not to plug it in until I actually want to charge it. I did try the charging timer but i've decided I don't like having to unplug it if I need to do a quick trip - it wasn't charging yet anyway. I'll be keeping an eye on the 12V battery...

I've had my '14 SV for a couple weeks now and I bought Leaf Spy Pro for iPhone, I modified a bunch of settings in the service menu... they all worked, except now my outside door handle lock/unlock button doesn't work anymore. I tried changing other settings, and even tried setting it back to...

Ahh yes. I did read that on this site during my research. However during my troubleshooting of my 12 V battery when it died I had a multimeter on it, trying to see if it was getting charged when the car was “on”, which it was. I also turned to car of e then plugged in to charge the car, and a...

What’s wrong with leaving it plugged in if it’s not actively charging?

Thanks for all the help everyone! Looks like I’ll have to take it in for the upgrade if I want the remote control. Not sure it’s worth it really. I can set timers and even go out and turn on climate control, lock the car and come back in 15-20m. So the day after I bought the car the damn 12V...

Yeah I think we’ll be fine most of the time. Honestly my biggest worry is how much will a battery pack cost when it is needed and will Nissan have them available. Hopefully the Fenix power thing will work our or someone else starts making or refurbishing packs. Now how the heck do I program...

So the wife and I decided to go for it. Out the door for $8.6K after some effort. Pretty happy with that deal.... We are prepared for the realization that we won't be able to use it some days, or even weeks at a time but are ok with that considering the price. The car has everything we wanted in...

Thanks for the responses... good thoughts. My wife and I are going to think about it and come up with a decision. As for our reasoning, since we have to get something anyway it's mostly about saving some money. Secondary is I like the tech and she really likes the smoothness of how EV's drive...

Thanks for the fast response... Yes my mistake, 3.5 miles per kWh. That's a shame. I guess I just don't feel it is that close, but you guys are the experts. I was under the impression that the 2014-2015 with 24 kWh packs are the 'slowest' degradation-wise. Since this is an 11 bar Leaf I am...
