That would hurt! I lost tenth bar very late... 46.01 Ahr. I blamed that on P3227 and cold weather. I won't see 41.01 until June. I could become the new record holder... lowest Ahr loss of 9th bar.

kolmstead said:Mike averaged 3.77 Ahr per bar; you averaged 3.63. I'm guessing you had P3227 between bar 10 and bar 9. I had it performed prior to loss of bar 10, and it delayed loss of that bar by many months. I don't have good Ahr data until bar 9 for my battery.
PMev said:I think part of the problem is that there aren't enough Leafs on the road in my town (4 may be), so the tech does not have much experience.
Do you have any suggestion as to how to approach them that diagnosis shouldn't take that long? Do you think I should try a different dealership?
Not normal.PMev said:They want to keep the car for 1.5 weeks to run diagnostics. Is that normal?
clarke said:Dealer was dragging feet getting back to me on test results. So I called the Nissan customer
support number
Nissan EV Customer Support Team 877-664-2738
and they looked up the case my dealer filed. Apparently the battery has been ordered. Its
hard to believe that something is actually going to go smoothly for once.
PMev said:Interestingly enough, there was no paperwork when I took the car back, and no timeline as to when they will hear from Nissan to start the process of battery replacement. I wonder if they could just as easily let the warranty lapse by stalling for 4 more months (3/2011 manufacture date). I will be calling the Nissan EV Customer Support Team phone no. that CLARKE provided to see if they were even contacted.
GerryAZ, thanks for PS. I was told that they have downloaded data from the battery, which someone will process now.

Good luck PMev in Metairie, LA, home of Drago's world's best grilled oysters. (Sure wish their expansion plans were going faster so there was one closer to me :!: But at least there are three now.)PMev said:... The tech, and his manager today, told me several times that they have not replaced battery before, and that it is a major major operation, and it takes time for the process to start, etc.

Sorry, but they are full of it. With the proper equipment, a battery swap in a LEAF should not take very long at all. It is NOTHING like replacing an ICE. It's more akin to replacing the fuel tank, only heavy.PMev said:The tech, and his manager today, told me several times that they have not replaced battery before, and that it is a major major operation, and it takes time for the process to start, etc.

Some people are still getting packs quickly, some are taking longer. According to my guy, the difference is the cold weather package - those without (like mine) can take longer than those with.

Just got a keeping me up-to-date call from my dealer - still no word on a delivery date for me. He says the pack (w/o cold weather package) is on national backorder with no release time-frame as of yet.
