My 2015 Leaf is at the dealership for about 3 weeks now (parts on back order). It has been worked on for active 10 hours minimum, and the result is that they need to change all the high voltage wiring, and the main computer. Water infiltrated in the main computer, and it's cold where I live, so it froze there, causing damage to the computer. If I had to pay from pocket, this repair would cost between 4000-5000 Can$, not something I fancy paying later on. Fortunately, all this is under warranty, and the dealership has treated me very nicely.
What I'm after here, is an idea of how common this issue is. I've been told it is not supposed to happen, the main computer is supposed to be sealed and no water can get in there, normally... But it happened, and my dealership has seen this 3 or 4 times so far. So if they saw it 3-4 times in just 1 dealership, this is not a completely uncommon issue. My concern is that after they do the repair, these parts will be under warranty for 1 year. I am worried of this happening again in a couple of years, and I am starting to consider getting rid of the car before that warranty expires. But, anyone else had this done? I searched the forum but didn't find anything about it, maybe I searched wrong... I've been told that maybe Nissan Canada can tell me the numbers, but I thought I'd start here.
Please let me know if you had, of heard of this problem before, and it anybody had this occur twice.
Thanks a lot!
