Recently while driving my '14 SL I heard a sharp bang like a rock would make hitting the car. Found the impact point - it was the cover over the solar cells on the rear spoiler. Asked the dealer for a price on the cover. They said the cover isn't available separately and the entire assembly is...

For a while now, I've been aware of an intermittent clanking sound from one rear wheel of my '14. I only heard it when parked, under two conditions: while exiting the car after parking it, or if I would rock the car by pushing on a rear quarter panel. It sounded like metal-to-metal contact and I...

After a couple of successful charges, one of the new Signet FC50K units now returns error codes when I try to charge. They are: 32 - "Vehicle error (other)" and 34 - "Vehicle voltage error (after charging)" The yellow EV system light comes on in the LEAF, but clears after turning the car off...

There is a brand-new Signet unit, with a CHAdeMO port and a CCS Combo port, being installed next to the existing EVSEs at the Public Works Garage on South Charlotte Street in Asheville. It isn't powered up yet. YAY!!! :mrgreen:

Just checked on my '14 SL (which has been at the dealer 3.5 weeks) via Open Wings. The car reports 0% charge and that it's charging but unplugged, and the word "INVALID" appears on the same line. Wonder what they're doing to the poor thing :o It's supposed to be ready this afternoon from an...

Finally decided to run our '14 SL from Asheville (apx 2200' elevation) up to the Mount Pisgah Inn on the Blue Ridge Parkway (apx 5000' elevation). Car has 2700 miles, battery showed 6TB and 87%SOC when we left home (0 trip miles). Got on Blue Ridge Parkway at NC191 (10 trip miles, 74%SOC)...

My '14 SL sat outside during last night's heavy rain here in western NC. This morning after driving a while there was a sudden trickle of water from the front edge of the headliner onto the dash panel above the glove box. I felt around inside the front lip of the headliner and it was damp. Now...

I did a quick forum search and didn't see anyone asking about this - it may be a really silly question but I'll risk that: Has anyone tried covering the outside of the underbody panel beneath the main battery with silver heat-reflective tape? Since pavement temperature - especially asphalt - is...

This morning I started an untimed charge at a nearby public L2 EVSE. By the time I walked home, the car had sent a "Charging Stopped" text to the phone (left on my nightstand). I hopped in my ICE car to take a look and everything was as I had left it - LEAF happily charging. All I can figure is...

My '14 SL, which I picked up on March 18, was keyed earlier today while charging at the Asheville, NC Visitor's Center. The APD took a report and building staff are going through security camera footage. This was in a busy parking lot between about 11AM - 1PM. The left front fender looks pretty...
