Howdy All! I am extremely happy to report that my battery replacement saga is finally over! On Thursday (4/11) I got an email from my Nissan rep saying that the replacement battery was 3-4 weeks out. Naturally, the dealer called less than 24 hours later to say that the car was ready for pickup...

I suspect it was the culprit originally, but it isn't anymore. After months of baking in the Arizona sun at 4% SoC, I suspect one or more of the cells has swollen. The isolation fault currently being thrown is genuine; it was not fixed by replacing the 12V and resetting the computers.

Update! After almost 6 months, I finally got an ETA on a replacement battery. At the end of January and out of the blue, Nissan called to say the replacement battery would arrive late April or early May. Additionally, they are providing a loaner and gas until then. Fast-forward to now, and a...

Nope, I think she's cooked. No matter what I do, the P33D6 code will not clear. I was able to get the car to charge a bit by connecting the charger (220V) right after connecting the battery, but that's it. The combination of the insane current reading and the isolation fault makes me think that...

AutoNation Nissan Tempe. Got the car towed to a level 2 charger and tried some troubleshooting. Pulled the 12V battery, put it on a 10A charger for a couple hours, and tried the 'connect 12V/start car/clear codes/plug in/unplug/disconnect 12V/wait' dance a few times to no avail. The car is...

This whole dealership franchise is full of arrogant pricks. I had a similarly awful experience with the Honda dealer in the same chain. Was hoping they'd be a different company but clearly not. They will not let me even turn a wrench on the car while it's on their property. I asked about...

Sure enough, the 12V battery tested bad. Since by this point I do not trust the dealer whatsoever, I took it to AutoZone for confirmation. Surprisingly, the dealer actually got this one right (first time since August). The battery was less than 18 months old, so my guess is that the dealer...

I went back on Tuesday (10/10) and while the service manager STILL hadn't tried putting the car on 110V charge, I did FINALLY get to speak with their Leaf tech directly. He is a really nice guy and seems to know what he's talking about. Definitely a breath of fresh air! He was of the opinion...

Howdy All, At the beginning of August I picked up a used 2016 S (30kWh). It's in good shape, but the battery was below 9 bars so I took it in for a warranty replacement. The dealer ran their tests, confirmed that the battery was indeed eligible for warranty replacement, and submitted the claim...
