I have a 2013 and I am getting ready to turn over 10,000 miles. I charge everyday to 100% as I have a fairly long commute (52 miles RT). I don't have a way to check the battery so I guess I will find out how it looks at my 1 year checkup. Range seems to have dropped a bit as the temperatures...

This is something I really wish they would fix. I have to set the cruise at 64 just so I can go 60. I switch between the Leaf and the Volt all the time so I'm surprised I haven't gotten a ticket in the Volt. Nissan seems to have a habit of ignoring any and all issues.

I would've taken it to the dealer before reconnecting it. They ended up replacing my carpet because of the smell.

Quick update. I talked to Bosch. Everything should be resolved. They are going above and beyond what I expected. I will update tomorrow once I'm on a computer.

It is just by luck that this happened to me and not a non-EV lover. I purchased the first Volt off the truck in my area (Oct '11) and have over 38K on it (27K EV miles). I've been a huge supporter of EV's and adoption in my area. I was really happy with the Leaf up to this point. It remains...

That is the plan if they refuse to pay for the damage to the Leaf. They now have all the information they need to make a decision. The car will sit at the dealership until somebody pays the bill. I know from experience that if I pay the bill that I lose most of the leverage.

Finally got an estimate from the dealer.

Thanks for the links. Very helpful information. I am now just waiting on the PDF of the estimate from my dealer to send on to Bosch. My car will be held hostage until the now $930.61 is paid. Unbelievable that I am being presented a bill when this is obviously an emerging issue. I am sure...

I actually just googled that and found some pictures of the Blink chargers with the faulty plugs. The resultant damage looks identical to mine. This will hopefully make things easier with Bosch. I am not sure they will have much of a leg to stand on when I bring up this information. It is a...

I was sitting at my desk at work and couldn't figure out why my pants were wet. It is nice to see a puddle of water under the car now instead of in it lol.

I heard from the dealership today. They think the part will be $500 but aren't sure when they will get it. The car has already been down 2.5 weeks, 1.5 of those at the dealer. I didn't have it taken to the dealer before I returned from my trip. I wanted to make sure to get pictures and to...

Just took pictures of the SPX. Here is the info.

Thanks for the replies. I do have the 6.6 charger on my Leaf. I will go take a look at the plug and see if it has any data on it.

I had the same issue. Dealer performed NTB12-055 at 4200 miles. I thought I started to hear it coming back at 8,400 miles. I will have to double check if I ever get it out of the shop for the other issue.

Update as of 9/5/2014: I talked to Bosch on several occassions about this failure. The ticket got escalated after I provided an invoice from Nissan with the total cost of the repair. I had also provided them pictures and other information in the past week. I got a call last night from one of...
