    The Definitive "CLICKING NOISE FROM FRONT OR REAR AXLE DURING TAKE-OFF/ACCELERATION" list

    My 2012 Leaf had multiple clicks and thunks. Found play in the CV joints so I changed both half-axles with aftermarket parts, but the thunk remained. It turned out to be the rear motor mount, where the rubber was cracked and damaged. Once I changed the mount the little clicks became more...

    If you've had issues with the 12V battery in your leaf failing prematurely, go out and unplug the low voltage connector on the negative terminal.

    My 2012 Leaf does not have any of the connectors or small wires shown in your picture. The 12V battery typically lasts about 3 years.

    EV sales crashing - maybe not.

    My wife and I have two cars and live in the city. One is a 2012 Leaf and the other a Ford Explorer. We do not have assigned His/Her cars; we simply take whatever car makes the most sense for the trip, which is usually the Leaf, even though it only achieves about 40 miles per charge. If we did...

    Changing out the 12V battery in a 2018 Leaf: any gotchas?

    I changed mine 3 times already in 12 years. Did mine with the car "Off" as it was already dead. Batteries were from autozone and wal-mart. You change it like you would any other car battery, just remove the negative first, and put the negative back on last. By doing so even if your wrench hits...

    Dome light very dim when door open / not turning on when car running

    What is the 12v battery voltage? It should be at least 12.6. Every time my 12v battery goes bad the dome light comes on dim.

    Clunk when accellerating after braking

    2012 Leaf SL 141,000 miles I had a problem when driving my Leaf, where after braking and then accelerating again there would be a very noticeable clunk, thunk (or thump) from underneath the car. I found play in the CV joints so I replaced both of them, which made the clunk even louder. The...

    What Do You Wish Your Leaf Had?

    I wish the Leaf's battery was split into 6-10 modular lithium battery packs where one could be changed at a time, rather than having to change the whole battery at once.
