I bought my 2013 Smyrna built leaf 2weeks ago. Been loving the car and should get the home charger installed next week.
Out of town on business so my wife tries to drive the car. B4 she heads out, she says the brake light came on. Checking under the hood she thinks the brake fluid is low.
You just can't win.....HungryTurkey said:Got my car back with new ECU. Guess it's working great, except I noticed my windshield wipers weren't working while driving home from he shop... /sigh. I'm hoping it's a wire they forgot to plug back in or a fuse or some crap. I just want my Leaf back and fully functional... waaah!
Yeah, it's can be easy to misinterpret the warning lights. I remember one time I recall the yellow ! was on and I was thinking "uh oh!" It turned out that the hatch wasn't fully closed.DarthPuppy said:DarthPuppy said:Gulp!

Update: Got home and checked the car. It turns out my wife misinterpreted the door ajar warning as a brake warning. Turns out she was looking at the coolant reservoir, not the brake fluid reservoir. Fortunately, I talked her out of topping off the brake fluid until I got home to check the car. That probably would have killed it and voided the warranty - in under 3 weeks of ownership.
So we are back to confidently loving this car. Though my wife is now forbidden from opening the hood.

If you do have to take it in again I suggest you head over to Nissan of Greer.HungryTurkey said:Well, on the plus side, the wiper problem, as suspected was simply a case of the tech forgetting to reconnect it. So as of now, everything appears to be operating within normal parameters. I'm crossing my fingers that this Leaf will now cooperate and be the car I know it *can* be, based on my first one. It's gotta' re-earn my trust, but I'm cautiously optimistic the worst is behind at this point, and after 6 visits and 42 days in the shop, that would be a good thing. I hope the plant is performing some root cause analysis on warranty issues, so they can make the car more reliable.
