Hi everyone,
We just purchased a 2011 Leaf from the big blue used car superstore. We love it, except for one problem which nobody seems to be able to fix (and which I haven't seen discussed online, either in this forum or elsewhere).
The Charger Timer Override button (or Immediate Chargebutton, if you wish) doesn't seem to work. When you push it after you turn off the car, as specified in the manual, or before turning off the car (just tried on a whim), absolutely nothing happens. Nothing illuminates on the button. Nothing changes with the "charging timer: on" display on the dash, nothing happens with any of the charge indicator lights, and the vehicle doesn't charge of you plug it in.
The car is currently back at the dealer, but they've admitted they have no idea about anything on this car and will send it to a Nissan dealer for inspection/repair.
I'm mostly worried because this dealer has a 5-day return policy, which expires for us tomorrow evening, and the Nissan dealer is "pretty busy" and might not get to the car until after that.
Has anyone experienced anything similar? Are we doing something stupid (wouldn't be the 1st time)? Does this sound like something that might be indicative of a major issue that would suggest we might want to return the car (hope not, 'cause we love it other than this)?
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ben
