I lost braking 3 times in 5 months on my 2015 Nissan Leaf, the first 2 times Nissan blamed it on a faulty 12v battery. They replaced the battery twice, and the problem came back again this morning. I finally got LeafSpy and found out that I'm having the following errors:
U1000 0108 ABS CAN Comm Circuit
U110D 0108 E-Driven Intelligent Brake Comm BRC-130
P3195 0008 EV/HEV CAN Error EVC-272
U1000 0008 EV/HEV CAN Comm Circuit
Now after a few hours braking came back, but the red/orange warning lights are on, and the error codes are still there. Same thing happened in July and 2 weeks ago: by the time the car was towed to Nissan, the brake "magically" came back without doing nothing!
Nissan tried to explain to me I was "not driving enough" to keep the 12v battery fully charged, which would explain randomly having the brake module failing.
This time the battery was replaced again last week, I'm reading 12.7v with the Leaf stopped, so I can't take the battery excuse anymore. Must be something else.
It's very frustrating, and dangerous, my wife is the primary driver on the car and almost got into an accident the first time. The second time I was driving and used emergency braking. Today I realized that if I put excessive pressure on the brake pedal, I do get some braking but there is a rattling sound and both red/orange warning lights are on.
I know that changing the battery a 3rd time, or just disconnecting it for 15 minutes will clear the error codes, and brakes will work fine for who knows how long. But again, this is extremely dangerous. I see many other Leaf drivers having the same issue and I don't understand why Nissan is not putting more effort in trying to solve that issue.
