Also I did a reverse language search in Japanese and found someone else indicating their PTC heater had failed in Japan. https://detail.chiebukuro.yahoo.co.jp/qa/question_detail/q10198472765 (You'll probably have to have your browser translate from Japanese to English).

I don't know if anyone else found this post, but I thought it was quite interesting. I don't have a picture of our 2013 PTC heaters to confirm if this is what they look like or not: https://ev-olution.yolasite.com/Nissan-Leaf-Heater-Fault.php

And so far there hasn't been a word from Nissan on the heater issue :/

PMed.

Yeah, was a tin foil hat moment. But I wouldn't put it past the company to look at it in dollars and cents: Most people using them aren't in cold climates, and only on the SV/SL so it's not like its 'affecting' most people. Admitting there was a fault by creating a service campaign could open a...

13 SV and SL have a hybrid heating system, while the S I believe is solely the PTC. From what I'm understanding from some of the posts, putting in a new PTC heater didn't necessarily fix the problem. It could be that the coolant temperature sensor is faulty and the switch between the two heating...

I don't want to clutter the thread with too many posts, but based on some of the solutions, they suggested replacing the coolant temperature sensor and / or the wiring harness to the PTC heater. I'll update this post with some of the information I found, as I am going to try and solve this...

It was through Vickar Nissan here in Winnipeg. I bought a 12v plug in PTC heater and it was sketchy in our -35C. Seat heater and heated steering wheel helped. I simply don't have the money to pay it, and even if I did, that's engine replacement money for an ICE vehicle, so I'm kinda on...

I'll add mine to the list. 2013 Nissan Leaf SL, originally a US Leaf. Failed sometime in November, 2018 at around 51,000km (~31,700miles) also in Winnipeg, MB, Canada as someone on your Reddit thread indicated as well. Dealership said B2773 and B2774 codes and NTB14-001C required PTC Heater...

So this is what the service log says: Car works. This did not fix my heater problem.

And if anyone's interested, I have a set of SSR Type F's that I still haven't sold from 3 years ago that match the stock 16" wheel specs: https://www.mynissanleaf.com/viewtopic.php?t=22027

Yeah, that's why I wanted to post everything was so that if someone else had an issue, they could learn from it. My big question is still what IS the main cause? How did it get corroded? Is it related to the battery plate recall where corrosion could be introduced? Where was the actual...

OK quick update - tomorrow I will go to pick up the car. They say they've fixed the problem (and have said the bill will be an additional $359 CAD on top of the $180 I spent originally, and also did the battery bonding plate recall. I'll get the full service log when I go there, but I wanted to...

I'll just throw in my 0.02. I had to brake hard because a box truck turned into my lane without looking. If I could have stopped 3 feet sooner, he probably wouldn't have hit my Leaf. I have had experience with summer and performance tires, and I think that 'low rolling resistance' tires do have...

And Nissan Canada and North America's computer systems are down. No ETA for being fixed. Uggggh. Sorry needed to vent.
