Thanks again for all the suggestions. I opened a CA attorney general case against them and they sent me the check in a week!!! Wow! I thought attorney generals do something only when lots of people complain for a specific company. Or maybe lots of people complained for Jim Bones, who knows...

Thanks Flyct for the suggestion. They are 1500 miles away, and I am not really kind of person who could do that. I am an extreme introvert. But I'll file with state attorney general. It is really sad that they could do this without any consequences.

Yes, this is official Nissan warranty, contract says I am entitled to prorated refund at any time. Nissan corporate already processed the refund and sent it to the dealer (Nissan says that). But the dealer just cashed the check and never sent it to me. I asked Nissan corporate why they did not...

Hi all, I made the mistake of buying extended warranty from Jim Bones Nissan. I traded in my Leaf, but cannot get a refund. I called various times, complained to Nissan corporate (who did not help at all), opened a BBB complaint (they did not even respond). If you call them, they ask "did you...

Looks like Volt is discontinued https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/cars/2018/11/26/gm-general-motors-chevrolet-volt-cruze-impala/2114114002/

If you search for "Clarity owner forums", you'll see almost everyone is very happy with the Clarity (I cannot link here since it is a competitor site). There is a huge discussion about CR ratings also. The only electronic problem I know is "multiple system warnings", that I also had, which is...

Have you considered Honda Clarity? IMO it is a much better car then Leaf, Bolt, Volt. You got a pretty luxury car for almost the price you pay for those. I have a Leaf and Clarity and always want to drive the latter :-). With the battery losses (I am in TX) and Nissan's attitude, this Leaf will...

Here's a nice article about a Tesla hitting 400K miles: https://www.teslarati.com/tesloop-tesla-model-s-400k-miles-battery-maintenance-cost/ Here's the relevant part: "Average battery degradation over the vehicle’s first 194,000 miles was around 6% with multiple Supercharger stops every day...

I searched the forums but could not find any info. I applied today for the rebate. I hand delivered the documents since it was just a few miles from my house. Does anyone have any experience how long it will take to get it? It seems up and running since May 31st...

Contact Nissan by chat and simply ask them. When a fraudulent dealer charged me for the annual battery check although they never did (they had no leaf certified mechanics), I contacted Nissan by chat. In the very same session, they verified that no work was done, and they offered me $250 gift...

My kill-a-watt melted after a few months when I used it at my charger outlet. I was planning to record each month's charging usage. Though it worked for several months, I forgot and never recorded a single month's usage. So I did not get any data, and lost the kill-a-watt while trying to do that.

This change feels like I have Leaf 2.0. I really did not know that I hated the beeps and the driving sounds so much. I am pretty sure my neighbors are also very happy about this, they won't hear the beeps at 3am at night. I don't feel like I am driving a garbage truck now.

Can you try the same thing with other electric car brands also? :-). I just want to know how Leaf's regen is compared to others. If I buy a Volt in the future, I want to drive it while my wife follows me with the Leaf. Going to the same places at the same speed and (hopefully almost the same)...

There is a bigger mistake. Not realizing that you forgot charging and driving to some distant destination with semi-charged battery. I did it several times. Fortunately charge was still (sometimes barely) enough each time.

I am in Texas, my car, 2013S, had 12 bars until 18000 miles & 4 years old. So it can easily have 12 bars. LeafSpy still shows SOH as 85%, but it went to 84% more than a month at around 18K miles so I lost the bar. I have been very careful about not parking the car under the sun for the last...
