Are you aware of anyone that is down to 8 bars, has the exclusion on their car, filed a BBB claim stating Nissan is not honoring their warranty since the battery loss to 8 bars is a warrantable defect, AND didn't get a replacement? The BBB was free and a lot easier than a lawsuit if you just...

Hi, I'm curious if there's any proof that the heat resistant battery is even in testing phase yet. I just had my battery replaced a few weeks ago and the tech said he's not heard anything about it. I realized that is not the best person to ask, but he new right away what to do with my 4th bar...

This might help- here are stats from the LeafApp of my car the right before and after the upgrade P3227. The upgrade did not change the number of bars showing on my car (8), but it did definitely change the GIDs and % capacity. At least on 'paper'- I got a very low battery warning (turtled?)...

Valdemar, I looked at the invoice from today closer and today is when they performed the P3227. So, guess it was the cool Fall, Winter weather in Az that slowed the 4th bar loss... But, I still wish the bars matched closer to under 70% as the 'upgraded' warranty states.

Took the car to the dealer today and they confirmed 4 bars lost. Dealer ordered a battery and said it will take about a week to deliver. Interesting I lost 3 bars the first 2 years (July 2011 to July 2013), then it took 11 months to loose the 4th bar (and that was after a "computer upgrade" at...

Could anyone that has gone through the battery replacement provide any specifics I should do prior to taking my car to the dealer? I lost the 4th bar this week. I have the Nissan Spy Lite but don't really know what all the abbreviations mean. In other words, is there any data I should record...

Is anyone in the Phoenix area willing to help me measure the 'state' of my battery? I know there are apps out there, but alas I have an Iphone. And I'm not sure I would understand what it all meant with respect to getting the battery replaced (my goal) I've requested a new battery from...

Thanks- I called, Phone: (877) NO GAS EV (or 877-664-2738), not 1-800

Took me 90 minutes, but I had lots to read and do while waiting. My first car was a 1970 Bug- hmmm. Yellow. Thanks for the mention about getting a case number with Leaf CS. I will do that just in case.

Had my one year checku-up. Ended up going to ABC Nissan in Phoenix AZ since Larry Miller quoted a price of $169 to also include having the tires rotated, air filter and brake fluid replaced. Followed the post recommendations and skipped the brake fluid and interior air filter this first year...

From Moderator: "Ouch. Annual brake fluid replacement is complete overkill unless you're doing serious high performance driving. Biennial (2 year) is more than sufficient for 99% of the vehicles on the road. The brake fluid flush is probably at least 1/2 the cost of your service." I was told...

Thanks for the thoughts everyone: I don't think I'm driving funky or pulling a body- Here's the details of the trip I was thinking of: I set it to ECO and drove about 67mph so I didn't get dirty looks from those passing me on the freeway going 80mph. I drove exactly 60 miles roundtrip on a...

Is there a way to program your car to know you are in a certain state for Navigation? It takes so long (compared to my Garmin) to enter all the data by hand each time when I'm going to be in Az. 100% of the time since my Leaf won't make it to any other state. I've tried voice control and it...
