Yes, I figure abandoning the GOM is the best bet. After I posted, it occurred to me that on trickle charge (110v) I should expect to add ~3-5 miles of range per hour charging. I was at my friends house for ~2.5 hours. Hence if the range really was about 20 miles by the time I reached their...

That is great to hear! We've been getting pretty good, predictable range from our 2017, but last night I had a bit of a scare. I drove into town with a starting range of ~75 and about 15 miles later at my destination (mostly downhill) it was down to 45. On the return trip I took a different...

They said they had traced the problem to the IPDM (intelligent power distribution module), which I don't see listed in the warranty. I noticed another thread in this forum https://mynissanleaf.com/viewtopic.php?t=27742#p547738 related to the IPDM, so this isn't an isolated issue. According to...

Finally I heard back from the dealership. The regional service rep said that Nissan will not pay for this repair ($500 this time). The service manager at our dealership was sympathetic, but seems impotent to do anything. As far as I can tell, this should be covered under warranty, but between...

It's now been more than a month and still the problem hasn't been resolved. I've got a call in to the local dealership for a status update, but about ten days ago they called and said they're waiting to get approval from their regional service rep to do the work. I called their national...

Interesting you should say that -- fortunately I was able to drive the car to the dealership. The service manager asked if the problems occurred immediately after charging, which they had. Both times, we found the charging lights off first thing in the morning, indicating a full charge...

Argh!! I spoke too soon. Went out this morning, unplugged the car, put the charging cord in the trunk and the car wouldn't stop beeping. I brought the fob out and saw the exact same issues we had before. At least this time it's not beeping constantly; I simply cannot turn the car off...

We just picked it up from the dealership yesterday. It took an extra day because their technician saw strange errors when testing out the new VCM. Evidently he consulted with the previous lab tech / guru who had retired recently, then managed to get everything resolved. Not sure what they...

I wound up calling their customer satisfaction line. After several days I've now learned that they will cover the cost of the VCM, but not the 12v battery. So the cost will be $145 instead of $1,400. Big sigh of relief! :? Evidently they still consider the issue to be covered by the...

I'm glad to hear you've had such a good experience. I would like to think ours was an isolated issue that will be completely resolved with a new unit, but I remain a bit skeptical. Ours has just under 20,000 miles on it, so far under a 5-year/60,000 mile warranty. We bought it used last year...

Last year we bought a used 2017 leaf that we absolutely adored ...until yesterday. After unplugging it from a nightly charge, my partner discovered the dashboard lit up with parking brake errors. The car was started and we couldn't shift gears or shut it off. The good: contacted Nissan...
