It's the air conditioner stop/restart problem. I was in downtown Pasadena with my two kids carseated in back when I noticed a warning light on the dash. So, at a red light, I shut down. Tried to restart. Dead. With traffic flowing around me, I had to get my kids unstrapped and safely to the sidewalk. I'd received the notice from Nissan weeks ago telling me to get the software fix but my dealership (Wondries in Alhambra) doesn't have the proper hardware or software to fix the problem. Even today, after calling roadside assistance, the dealership repeated that they can't fix the problem and doesn't know when it can.
My tone here doesn't come close to approximating my fury with the dealership at their ineffectual response toward rectifying the problem. At the moment the car is back at the dealership, towed there too late for any work to be done. No work tomorrow as the place is closed (Sunday). On Monday they'll attempt to get the car's systems cleared and restarted. But driving this car from here on out is going to be an exercise in anxious, stifled panic. Especially with my kids along.
Not a happy Leaf owner.
