Hello,
I did a basic search of the forum but could not find a similar thread.
More often then not when I drive now I notice that the regen dots do not go as far left as they used to when applying the brake or coasting at a high speed while slowing down. For instance when I apply the brakes while coming to a stop from a high speed - say a freeway off ramp I only have 3 dots (put of 5) when braking in eco mode or only 2 when in normal drive. This would normally pin the dots to the left.
The other thing is on occasion it will not go into regen at all, the dot will stay in the middle and not move to the left at all while applying the brake but will go to the right when I apply power (No the battery is not at full charge). Also sometimes there will be no difference in feel when changing from normal to eco mode - you know that slight resistance when feels when eco is engaged while coasting. Actually that is how I first noticed the problem.
I am at a loss since I took it to the dealer and they said the computer shows no problems and the car is working fine. I took the tech out for a drive but it was pointless as he said he doesn't drive the car so he doesn't know how many dots there should be with the regen process. I have been driving this car for almost 3 1/2 years & the battery capacity is 10 bars out of the 12. It recently went to 10 - shortly after I noticed this issue.
It doesn't do it all the time but it is more often than not. I took to Glendale, CA Nissan initially since the tech at Universal Nissan where I bought the car is on vacation for the holiday season.
Any similar threads or any insight appreciated .
Thanks
P.S. I did purchase one of those Bluetooth OBD dongles to use with the android app if that will show anything but not sure what I am looking for!
