I'm really starting to enjoy this thread.

I just talked to them again, and now they're trying to claim that since they replaced those, it's the same thing as replacing the battery, so they didn't really mislead me, it was just a misunderstanding. I think we all know that's a load of bullshit, but I need to find some proof that there's no way that could in any way be considered the same thing.
kuri said:Got the quote from the other dealer. $6,152.35 for everything, including tax and rental car while it's being done.
Also talked to a family friend that's a partner in a large law firm back home in Chicago and he had some really good advice. I'll be contacting a couple of local attorneys on Tuesday and going from there.
kuri said:Welp... lost my second bar as of this morning. Less than 300 miles after losing the first one, and the second one dropped.

Told you it would be fast. You'll probably loose the 3rd one just as quickly.
mwalsh said:Hmm...didn't Nissan's lawyers say they had a statement under oath from Nissan that this could never happen? :lol:

The document Mike is referring to is the "Declaration of Jordan Lurie."Valdemar said:mwalsh said:Hmm...didn't Nissan's lawyers say they had a statement under oath from Nissan that this could never happen? :lol:
I'd love to see them being brought to justice for this.
Plaintiffs’ Counsel also undertook a rigorous analysis of the Settlement’s responsiveness to Class Members’ concerns about the LEAF battery
life as expressed on blogs and in Internet message boards. For example, Class Members were concerned about manipulation of the battery capacity gauge by dealers or third parties to avoid the capacity warranty. To that end, Plaintiffs’ Counsel sought and obtained a detailed declaration under oath from a senior
manager responsible for the Nissan LEAF who concluded that it would be nearly “impossible for a dealer technician to manipulate the vehicle’s battery capacity gauge or to install a new program that would show a different battery capacity than that of the vehicle’s actual battery.”

I remember that in context now. I think I wrote at the time how suspicious the positioning of the opening quotation mark was. In front of impossible it would appear to be, well, impossible, but in front of nearly it becomes improbable. I found myself wondering if that was a purposeful mistake, so that later on they could go back if they had to and say, "Oh, sorry, we put the quote mark in the wrong place...it was supposed to be before nearly".

Based on the AHR & SOH reading, it may already have been a 4 bar loser prior to the reset. Charge to 100% and know you're getting a fresh battery this summer.
If anything, Nissan should file an exemption and just speed up the process.

45AHr...that's a 3 bar looser, not a 4 bar.
Valdemar said:And can be a year away from losing the 4th in a moderate climate and low mileage usage.
Valdemar said:Selecting an option to clear historical capacity loss data in Consult III is hardly "nearly impossible", pretty simple actually. The argument may be that the reading will eventually stabilize at the actual value, so the effects are relatively short-lived. Long enough to sell a car but not enough to decline a warranty claim which what the lawsuit was about
TickTock said:I have extra points because on two separate occasions during a dealer inspection, they reset my BMS . This caused my SOH to read 100% for a day and the cap bars to reset back to all 12. It took six months for them to finally return to the correct state.
kuri said:The dealer has admitted they screwed up by telling me the car had a new battery (yes, I'm as shocked as anyone) and they offered to replace the battery with a new one. When I asked for other concessions as compensation for their crap and the headaches, I was told "yeah, I'm not doing that".
