Josephleaf said:Yes I had the same problem on my 2014 leaf with 45K on. I had the tracking checked on several occasions & it was out & when put correct again and after driving vehicle for a mile, it was all totally out again. To cut a long story short after being to Nissan garages I had a 'proper' trustworthy & time served mechanic look at it (not a Nissan technician who could not find any faults). It needed two new wishbones on front, a new suspension strut & a new shock absorber and lastly tracking again before it solved the issue.
Yikes! How much did that cost? I have the problem on my 2011. It's not torque steer. I have driven the car for 10 years now. Bought it new. It performed flawlessly for 9 years before having this problem. I would describe it like this: At a certain mph when accelerating, even smoothly, it feels like the right wheel veered into a rut but then straightened out. Then as you let off the accelerator it feels like that tire shifts back out of that rut. So the car moves about 9-10 inches to the right and then back 9-10 inches to the left.
I won't drive the car on the freeway but I can drive on the street managing that shift. It never shifts to the right and then shifts to the right again or shifts to the left and shifts to the left again. It's shifts to the right on gas and then shifts back to the left on deceleration. So it's controllable and manageable (but not normal). I took it to the dealer and they said, "it's the center motor mount ($900) we'll start there."
But their explanation didn't make sense to me (I've been working on cars for 20 years, so I'm not inexperienced in how things work ). That's not to say the center motor mount doesn't need replacement - just like my rear windshield wiper needs replacement too but fixing that is not going to fix the problem I want to fix. I'm certain it's more than the center motor mount but my next thing to do is to put a small camera pointed at that rear motor mount and see if it's the movement there causing the problem (highly doubtful, as I can cause the problem regardless of the motor's movement.)
