Yesterday, while waiting at a red light, all warning lights came on (low battery, turtle mode, red and orange !), I couldn't drive anymore, nor turn the leaf on or off (emergency shutdown, as in pushing the power switch for 2 sec or three times had no effect). After about 15 sec it finally turned off, and after turning it on a few times it worked again like normal (4 battery bars, all green). Same problem again a bit later, except that it recovered faster. According to the dealer the voltage on the battery suddenly dropped very low (he claimed it might be because of the temperature outside (100 Farenheit) and because the battery was too low (at 4 bars....). Still waiting for a call back from Nissan Japan. It also looks like the car now only charges to 11 bars according to the emails I get from Car wings, so my guess is that at least one battery module has problems (the high temperature and low charge of the battery does not make sense to me). The car has about 4500 miles, this is the first time there is anything wrong.
Anyone else had a similar problem?
Thanks, Claudio
