So I be been trying rap my head around this but have no clue. I bought a 2011 leaf about a month ago and everything has been fine. I had the main battery replaced to a new 30 kWh and have been having a blast.
However, today I was driving home when suddenly out of nowhere the car went into neutral and I had to pull to the side of the road. The car wouldn’t start and go into drive ready mode but everything else worked including the stereo, lights, etc. thankfully I was close to home so I had it towed with AAA. I assumed this was because of the 12v battery and so I went to Costco with another car and got a new 12v. Came back home replaced it and the car turned on! I backed out the garage and made it maybe 200 ft when the same thing happened again and the car went into neutral and would not start. I had to push the car all the way back to my garage again which was not too fun.
I called up the person who had replaced my main battery and he said it’s probably a dead inverter that’s going to cost 3-4k. I really can’t afford this right now and was wondering if there is anything simpler or cheaper that I haven’t thought of yet.
Here’s a link to the LeafSpy DTC codes. I cleared them after putting in the new battery but they came back after the car died again.
