We have a 2011 Leaf with (26k miles) arriving at the 3 yr old mark in July 2014.
The car's been great, the 12 bar range meets all our driving needs. And, it's been trouble-free all these years.
We bought the vehicle back in July 2011, total cost after fed/state/nissan incentives was $26k drive away.
My original plan was to reach the 3 yr mark, purchase the extended warranty (~$1000) and keep the car for good.
The Leaf Battery App currently shows: AHr= 56.05 (84.59%) Hlth= 81.75%
I will likely lose 1 bar by 2014 year's end. By 2017, losing 2 bars total will cause us some grief in our commute range.
I have not applied any sw update to the vehicle, not even that P3227 update. (Perhaps when I lose 1 bar, I will then apply that update)
There was a battery quality related class action suit in 2013 (also discussed in this forum), which I mailed in a letter declining my participation. I was under the impression that this would help me in the future, if I continue to lose more bars whilst I remain the original owner of the vehicle. Not sure whether this is true...
So, what shall I do? Just purchase the $1000 extended warranty and keep the 2011 model forever?
Thanks for any advice....
