I have a 2017 leaf and it has seemingly randomly, started to have issues.
While driving on the freeway, I was accelerating from about 55mph to almost 60 when the car started beeping, showed the EV system warning light, and stopped accelerating.
It then would not respond when trying to use the accelerator pedal and a message appeared on the screen asking to stop the vehicle immediately.
I did this and started taking a video.
The car showed a battery symbol in the middle of the screen and then the message changed from stop car immediately to "apply parking brake".
While it was beeping and asking me to apply the parking brake, the turtle symbol and the EV system warning symbol were both illuminated.
Once I applied the parking brake, the beeping stopped, both the turtle light and EV system warning light stopped, and I was once again able to accelerate normally.
This has happened randomly a few times since then. The only similarity that I can think of is that it happens only when accelerating. The speeds have varied anywhere from about 40mph to nearly 70. Each time, it asks to stop the car immediately and once stopped, asks to apply the parking brake at which point it goes back to normal as if nothing happened.
Has anyone else had these symptoms before with their leaf?
I have put about 7000 miles on it in the year that I have had it.
I have not taken it to a nearby dealer yet.
After seeing so many other threads saying dealers were not able to figure out what is wrong with their leaf, I just worry that they won't be able to help me either.
Sorry can't think of any other information that may be useful in figuring this out.
