I am in a weird situation and need some help or a good answer fairly quickly.
I recently purchased a 2011 Nissan Leaf from Carvana. I am still in my 7 day test period, but noticed that the battery capacity is at 8 bars when I picked it up. I told them that I would take it to Nissan, because I read that Nissan will repair or replace Leaf batteries once the capacity reaches 8 bars. I probably should have rejected the car, but I thought I would have no problem with Nissan honoring their warranty.
I took the Leaf to the dealership this morning. Explained the issue with the battery capacity. They ran a test, and said that battery passed on all tests. I asked them if it was normal to have an actual driving range of around than 35 miles, and they avoided the question. I feel like I was given the run around as they give me a sheet that listed my capacity at 82 with 8 bars.
The warranty on the battery runs out in another 7 months. I am not sure if I should push through with Nissan or just return to Carvana without penalty. I cannot make it to and from work without stopping at the Nissan corporate headquarters in Franklin, TN to grab a quick recharge. Being a newbie, I don't know how to get the correct readings to tell them honor your warranty.
Should I return or pursue the warranty? How do I get the readings to proof my battery should be replaced?
