I was hoping for some new information here. I got the email from Nissan this morning saying basically we are SOL for service. I paid the $200 for the upgrade from 2G to 3G several years ago. It would be nice if they offered an upgrade to fix it this time around.

That's normal consumption for the Leaf AC. I run mine at 70 degrees. I prefer comfort over maximum range, but the loss from running the AC is not that great. Don't worry about it and just enjoy the car. If you are suffering massive range loss, you have defective components that need checked...

Did they test the 12V battery to see if it was defective? Did you leave something plugged into the OBD port? Did you leave the lights on? On some Leafs, leaving the charge cable connected can drain the 12V battery. I leave mine plugged in all the time with no issues. Pull the caps on...

I installed new 17" wheels and Ecopia tires about a year ago. The original wheels that came off the Leaf have been sitting in a conditioned storage space since then. I need the space, so it's time to sell. They include the Westlake tires that were put on by the guy I bought the car from in...

I ordered one of these, it showed up within a week. It shipped from Hong Kong and is labeled as made in Ukraine. I'm going to try an install using one of the cameras that fits into the license plate light slot. While I was waiting for the harness to arrive, I noticed that they are also...

If the time and date in the car are correct (which they should be), then it is likely a processing error on the Nissan servers. Maybe it is being logged for the day it is uploaded, and not the actual travel day.

It appears that Nissan has taken steps to prevent imported US cars from working in Canada. I would image that they don't like paying the international roaming fees to AT&T.

It's an optional upgrade. It is not required for the car to function. It does not involve a life/safety issue. The previous owner was not willing to pay for the upgrade. If you want the convenience offered by the Nissan Connect service, you need to pay for the upgrade. The modem stopped...

Charging to 100% is not a problem. It is required, periodically, to keep the cells balanced. It is leaving it at 100% charge for extended periods of time, especially in high temperatures, that is the problem. For those without the ability to limit charging, use a timer so that charging...

There is a Service Bulletin the dealer has access to. It includes all the steps that have to be followed for the upgrade to work. It also provides the correct part number for the Telematics unit, which varies with the production date of the car. The new unit has to be registered with Nissan...

This is probably already done, to some extend, in Android Auto, considering how Google already captures and monetizes user data. For the automakers, this is a non-starter. There are too many privacy, safety, and regulatory issues to deal with. Also, there are the costs to setup the...

You have already posted about this: http://www.mynissanleaf.com/viewtopic.php?f=34&t=27931 On top of the fact that radio in the car is receive only, there are distracted driving laws that would interfere with implementation of this. The Leaf already limits interaction with the NAV system when...

Did the police respond? Was an accident report filled out? Did you take any pictures of the scene? Where I live, you are 'at fault' if you hit another vehicle from behind.

That is how it is in the USA. Car manufacturers do not sell direct to consumers, except for Tesla. Many states in the USA require the dealership system, and do not allow car manufacturers to own or operate dealerships. My assumption is Mexico is similar, but I do not know. The staffing and...

Nissan doesn't own, and can't be involved with ownership of, the dealers. There's no point in them 'exploring' areas where the vehicles may be sold. If there is not a dealer that wants to expend the capital to be Nissan authorized, then Nissan vehicles are not sold there. That's pretty much...

I don't know how it works in Mexico, but in the USA none of the dealerships are owned by Nissan. The dealership has to initiate the process to Sell and Service the Leaf. There are Staffing and Training requirements they have to meet before being authorized to handle the Leaf. It is also...

I have been doing outside charging for about four years. I installed a hard-wired GE EVSE unit. My Nissan EVSE is only 120 volt. I keep it in the car for emergency use. I also have a 240 volt OpenEVSE unit with the RV plug that I keep in the car in case I ever need it.

In the U.S., Nissan requires the dealership to have technicians trained specifically on the LEAF before they can service or sell them. I would image it is also that way in other countries.

Sell the Leaf for what you can get out of it before you move. The car is going to be seven years old. Along with the cost of transport, will be the cost to upgrade and make it compliant with local laws. That money would be better spent finding a car to buy when you reach your destination.

There is an adapter kit required to fit the 2013+ style battery into the 2011/12 model Leaf. If you search here, you can probably find the part numbers needed. The dealer service department should be able to look them up. This also requires pairing the new battery to the car. Since you are...
