Have had the battery drain issue since the TCU 3G upgrade in the summer. The last time I could get the car to the dealer before the 12v battery went completely dead. I have all the symptoms outlined in previous posts. The dealer tells me Nissan is aware of the problem and is working on a...

Still have the problem. Dealer confirmed with Nissan that there is no fix. Nissan told dealer to turn off the Telematics Control Unit. Wasted $199! "We'll get back to you" was the solution I was left with. I responded with "What about the $199 I paid"..."What do you want?"..."My car to work...

I have the same experiences as the OP. Heck I could have written the same post. This started after the 2g to 3g upgrade. It occurs when the car is plugged in or not. Doesn't matter. Just got back from the dealer. There is a silent recall to "fix" this issue with a software patch. The...

I have a 2014 Leaf SL. Bought new. When it was two months old the 12v battery died. Dealer replaced it and did an "update" on the software. No problems for three years. In August I had the 2G to 3G update done. Right after that the 12v battery mysteriously drained down to about 3-4 volts a...

I lost the first capacity bar on my Leaf last night during my nightly charge. Details as follows: 2014 Leaf SL Manufactured: Apr 2014 Delivered: Jun 2014 Max gid reading ever recorded: 267 12->11 bars on: 09-13-2016 - 28,834 miles Location: NORFOLK, VA Charging routine: Mostly 80% charge...

1. If you could do it again, would you still buy, why or why not? Yes. I bought and capitalized on 0% financing and rebate for using NMAC, tax rebate, and "below invoice sale". Even with those benefits I have seen gems where someone bought a new Leaf and turned it back in, backing out on the...

One of the things the annual battery check does is determine if you charge the battery when already at a high state of charge. Having the battery at 80% and recharging to 100% will meet that criteria. Not sure what Nissan does with that information, or if it degrades the battery excessively...

Tow it yourself with a U-Haul.

Agree with above. I have a 2014 SL and a round trip of 56 miles in Virginia. In summer there is no problem going even another 15 miles driving conservatively. In the winter (avg. 30's F), I have to use an alternate route of 36 miles, and has tolls. Now, I could stretch it in the winter and...

So buy a new one... 10 gauge.

Too many assumptions. Leaf Spy Pro is your answer. I will say I have a 2014 with 20K miles and 19 months old that has lost about 4% GIDS and Hx since new.

Just did mine two days ago, and I have only noticed less grabby brakes.

I did not receive either as you stated. Doesn't mean that they don't exist. I do have a Warranty from Nissan that is explicit on what they will cover. I did not sign that either.

I bought a car from Nissan one and a half years ago. Nissan has the responsibility as the warrantor of my vehicle as outlined in my Warranty Information Booklet. AT&T does not know my name, I have no account with them. Registering for NissanConnect service is done through Nissan. This issue...

Cars are never a good investment (Karl). I answer many questions from those interested in the Leaf and I always lead off with - The best car is the one that is paid for. If you include any discount on MSRP, incentives, and rebates, you are doing well compared to a typical ICE vehicle. The cost...

A couple of points I would like to bring out. 1. Nissan just finished upgrading their app from Carwings to NissanConnect. While not a guarantee, I doubt if corporate would invest in the technology of all 2011-2015(2016??) cars with Carwings if that technology was going to cease working in less...

With 60% highway and 60-70 mph I get an average of 4.3-4.4 summer. Winter is 4.2-4.4.

Yep. You have good credit and Nissan uses 0% as incentive for people to buy versus lease, which I think Nissan loses money on. Conjecture only on my part. The $3500 is paid to the dealer and the dealer passes it on, and they get a sale. It's worth it to Nissan. Pay it off whenever you want!

^ +1 1. Battery Check for piece of mind on warranty/meet dealer. 2. Leaf Spy Pro to learn the vocabulary and "see" how the battery is.

That is a good way to go. I have a Peugeot 405 that basically became worthless when Peugeot left North America. It was a good car and I just kept good care of it, and I still have it today. Because it is an 1989 its value is now starting to increase. BL: It provides transportation when I...
