I'm in a similar situation. In the Atlanta area (leasing from Regal Nissan in Roswell). My 24 month lease is up at the end of November on an 2015 SV with no QC and about 21K mileage. Dealer is offering $4000 off residual for a total of $13,400 including taxes to buy the car. I think this is...

I experienced a similar problem in the below thread. http://www.mynissanleaf.com/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=13229" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

It wasn't a one off event. It's happened enough that Nissan corporate cared enough to fly somebody down to document the issue so it can be presented to the manufacturer. Still think the safety release is a good idea for Nissan and all plugin manufacturers. My materials engineering background...

This is the EVSE that is supplied with the car on 2013 models in that little black bag in the back. Believe it is a Panasonic model but the issue is actually with Yazaki who is the manufacturer of the handle or gun at the end.

BTW - sorry about the typos in the above post. I should really use spell check instead of typing off the top of my head. Writing this because I know Nissan monitors these boards pretty closely.

OK, I have resolution. It was a bad EVSE unit and it was the button lever on the handle that went out locking it in place. Likely it was the plastic pin that broke or got deformed locking it halfway depressed. They wanted to take it apart in front of the manufacturer to confirm the issue with...

Yikes. Good information to have. I'm tempted to do this and drive it in but since I've got the professionals coming to me tomorrow - I think I'll defer. Besides I think as a engineer they might appreciate me to leave the issue in as pristine condition as possible so they can do proper root...

...another update on this. A flat bed tow truck came out but the way my garage and driveway are situated, there is no way for him to pull in to hook up the car without putting the car in neutral and pushing it out first - which we can't do because of this situation. The car still has a half a...

...and the plot continues on this. Called the dealer and scheduled a tow truck to come by my house after I get home from work to tow it to the dealer. The fella at the dealer says they are very interested in this and actually are flying somebody from Michigan down to look at this issue. Says...

Yes, played with the lock release switch. I don't think the issue is electrical. I think it's something physically stuck in place, or a broken spring holding the lock button in place preventing it from being removed.

OK I tried to follow the instructions in the manual and in the first responder's guide. http://chargeny.com/files/file/8-nissan-leaf-first-responders-guide/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; (page 18) It says to find "the screw located through the access hole near the front of...

I've got a 2013 and it does have a lock switch. That is not engaged, so that's not the issue unless it is engaged without the indicator light being on. Either way, I would think it would be charging if the lock was on - which it is not.

Searched through the thread and couldn't find anyone experiencing this issue, but I've had my Leaf for a few months now. I often trickle charge with the unit provided with the car in my garage. Today I went to plug in the charger and the Leaf greets me with 3 flashing lights and beeping noise...

Not sure you get my point. When I get in the car after a full charge, the (Guess-o-meter) reads differently for me depending if I just completed a L1 vs. and L2 charge. Seems to me like the additional voltage in the L2 charge pushes additional charge into the battery, at least that is what the...

I've got a question about trickle charging as well. I use the trickle charge at home because I don't see the need to pay for a L2 charger (I was on the free Blink charger list but missed the deadline for the free installation). This situation works fine for me. I've had my 2013 SV for about...

I've noticed that if I am driving with all the interior window up and my child, who likes to play with things, rolls down the rear passenger window - that it creates some kind of harmonic thumping in the cabin caused by the incoming airflow. I've experienced this to a lesser extent in other...

Tsk, Tsk. Ignorance, anti-science... sticks and stones. There is plenty of that on display in the environmental movement, but you're probably right this is not the forum to go through that in detail. Point is that if the goal is to increase adoption of EVs, the marketing message needs to be...

Now you're just stealing our joy... :( Yeah, I know. Wondering why I don't get invited to parties anymore.

You really need to get out more if fun is watching part of a tree trunk build every mile or so. Why not have a game of Tetris there controlled by minor movements of the steering wheel while driving? Makes about as much sense and only a little less safe. :mrgreen: BTW - Reducing emissions in...

Anyone else roll their eyes at that useless building tree animation in the upper left of the head's up display? The rest of the dash is filled with useful information to the driver (speed, current power consumption, battery temperature, range, etc..). That silly building tree animation is...
