Wife has owned a 2015 Leaf S for the last 2 years, been a fine little car, 27k on the odometer. A few nights back while parking, she experienced brake failure, to be exact - the brakes were still there but the power assist was gone.
Needless to say this troubled me so I scheduled a diagnostic at the local dealership. I googled the situation and found that when the 12v battery fails, similar situations can occur. I figured we'd hear that it was that, or maybe some sensor.
Got the call last evening, guy said it was the electronic brake booster assembly and that it wasn't covered under her power train warranty (certified pre owned). Total cost will be $2170. I am pretty shocked. Not even 30k miles and this?
Wondering if this even seems legit? Any advice or options I may not be thinking of?
Appreciate any and all info.
Thanks
Edit to update: Situation isn't sitting right with me so I went and picked up the car. Mysteriously the problem part changed, now it's not the electronic brake booster assembly, they were confused and it's actually the "intelligent brake actuator".
Seems fishy...
Please advise.
