I called Nissan support 877 664 2738. Talked to Wesley, specialist ext # 457250. He didn't know about the problem, but said he would call the Leaf technician at the local dealer on Monday when I have my appt to have the steering wheel heater looked at.
Might be helpful is everyone with this problem called the same specialist, Wesley, at the above extension. Open a new case # for problem. My case # is 12674403.
I would hate to call him a liar, but he is not telling the truth. I talked to Wesley about this, and even mentioned others had a case open, but he specifically told me they can't help me until I bring it to the dealer first.

Very good to hear. Maybe you will be the first to have it fixed. As I documented earlier in the thread, I've been in touch with Nissan Customer care several times and have a long standing case with them, but have been told there is nothing they can/will do about it.
Yes, and thanks. Because of your posts, I started a case with Nissan Customer support BEFORE I went to the dealer. When I went to the dealer I mentioned that I had started a case with Nissan USA. Maybe that helped for them to take this seriously.
Guess you got lucky, as they refused to open a case until I had the dealer check it out. :evil:

So, what is the resistance spec for the steering wheel?
Don't know what the number is, but the point is that the technician doesn't need to spend an hour checking that the wheel really does get too hot then shut off. Just needs to check the resistance of the heater and if out of spec you need a new wheel, no arguing about "it was designed this way."
I'd like to know this spec as well, as my tech told me everything is working as designed (spoke with the LEAF tech personally, for over 20 minutes). I need to have some type of data I can use to fight them on this, without me having to waste my time or drop my car off multiple times. Anything you can share would be greatly appreciated!
