Yesterday morning, my Leaf quit working. Pushing the start button, almost every error light comes on and the center of the readout shows a battery symbol and a message that says "Stop Vehicle."
I can hear a small *dng* sound from under the car, as if the relay is trying to engage but cannot. Sounds kinda like a siezed refrigeration compressor thermal switch tripping, if you know what that sounds like. It also won't charge, and I have tried rebooting by unplugging the 12v battery.
Any thoughts?
At this point, I am realizing that buying a Leaf has been a huge mistake and though I very much like driving the car, it's now worth 1/6 what we paid for it 3.5 years ago and worth less than half what we still owe on the loan. Between this and the experience at the dealership, I have vowed never to buy a Nissan again. But that's a separate issue. Right now, my car doesn't move.
