    Seems to be braking when cornering

    My 2012 with 28k miles applies the brakes while cornering. Never happened until last week. Any possibilities? I did have new tires installed and switched front to rear. Had no problems when I rotated tires over a year ago.

    How many miles do you drive your Leaf/yr?

    I've gone 13k in 10 months. Still @ $.15 per mile I can't drive the Cadillac. I have a pretty big stack of 1 dollar bills to cover mileage in the bottom of my safe.

    Nissan, what will a Carwings subscription cost in 2014?

    BUMMER! I like turning on the a/c remotely. Who need navigation with a 80 mile range? I've lived in the same county all my life.

    is it safe to use Kill A Watt with EVSE ?

    Mine measured about 1370 watts. Just do the math. I wouldn't leave if plugged in.

    Nissan does not recommend Trickle-Charge?

    I've gone 12,500 miles on the 120v EVSE that came with the car. No problems so far. I charge 80% Sun-Thurs and 100% Fri-Sat for extra weekend driving. Still have the car for 29 more months, might upgrade to 240v when prices come down.

    Dealer charger wide open after hours, but kicked off lot

    I can see where the guard is just doing his job. BUT, a leaf owner is probably a little more affluent than the troublemakers that vandalize cars on the lot. Also if I wanted to be successful in my business I wouldn't want to piss these people off.

    I'm a new leaf owner. Just took a 800 mile road trip with it

    You are the man! My wife laughed when I was talking of a trip to Atlanta as a stunt. (About 500 miles)

    What do you wish you had known before purchase?

    That gas would only be $3.40 Gal. I'm not really saving any money. I was an early adopter and my lease is about $390 per mo with the down pmt added in. BUT, I'm driving a new car with air conditioning and stuff I didn't have. I'm still in love.

    Beware if trading in or selling a Leaf

    He says it's ugly. I brought home a Mitsubishi IMiev. My wife laughed and said, "NO!"

    Fox "News" Trashes EVs + Ecotality

    I've gone 12k miles in 10 months w/ the L1 that came with the car. I'm waiting to see if the EMW is an affordable charging station. I seldom plug in away from home. In central Fla. it'd just one more parking place you can't use. Handicapable, take out only, expectant mothers, employee of the...

    Poll : $100 a month replacement offer

    What if I put $100 per month in the safe? Or buy BP stock w/ a 5% dividend.

    New member, Tampa, Florida

    I'd suggest a lease. I'm almost in range, Bradenton, right off SR70. Had mine since Oct 12 and all I've done is put air in the tires.

    Should I Install a Home Level 2 Charger? Need Your HELP!

    I've gone almost 11,000 miles with the 110V unit. Sounds like your trip isn't the extreme. I charge 80% Sun-Thurs and 100% Fri-Sat for extra range on the weekend.
