The battery replacement/buyback thread.

[mitrals]

Here is mine: 2016 Leaf SL bought used 51K miles. Currently at dealer since 5/30/23. Dealer says 6 months and are putting me in a rental. On other forums I am hearing that Nissan is initiating a buyback after a few months. Nissan is providing a loaner to me so I am hoping that will expediate this a little.
1. I do not want a buyback.
2. I am in Illinois and there are no Lemon laws for used cars.
3. I am dreading them keeping the car for 6 months. Thinking of flat spots in tires, brake rust and mice infestation since it will be sitting out.

Just checking, this is a 24 kwh pack in the 2016? 4 bar loser?

It would have to be a 30kWh pack since the 24kWh packs only came with a 5 year warranty.

Sl with 30kwh battery

It would have to be a 30kWh pack since the 24kWh packs only came with a 5 year warranty.

For 24 kwh battery: 5 year/60,000 miles on the capacity, 8 year/100,000 miles on "defects in materials or workmanship". Could have been either a 30 kwh capacity loss, 30 kwh defect, or 24 kwh defect. If the pack is just worn out, then Nissan would have to install a new pack--which they may be short on. If the pack has a bad cell, they could of course choose to fix it.

Mitral, I feel your pain. My experience with our local dealers on a similar issue was abysmal. Nice people to speak with, but I came away feeling expertly gas lighted. What i have learned on this forum is there is a well-populated bell curve of Nissan EV services ranging from white glove all the way to, yeah, that. If you have the option, try some more dealerships.

Our Nissan dealer never offered us a loaner, so I guess you're lucky there. I'd probably decide it was a great time to tour the National Parks of the West if I was given a loaner for six months.

We're now on month 8 of waiting for a new battery, and our dealership still can't get an ETA from Nissan.

A little different: BC, Canada warranty claim on a US vehicle (SoCal 2016 SV with 30 kWh battery). Purchased the car at 8 bars with 63% SoH and immediately turned around to get the claim going

Took about 2 full days and then a week of leaving the car at dealer to get an OK from Nissan Canada to go ahead (original estimate 6-8 weeks to get the parts, I was skeptical as US reports had it at 5-6 months on reddit already)

Left car at dealer for 2 months but took it back when they still had no ETA, had to clean some mildew issues since it was left out in the rain.

Waiting since Feb, dealer has another car still waiting since Dec

We signed the repurchase agreement from Nissan for our 2017 Nissan Leaf SV because nobody can tell me when the replacement battery will arrive and I am hearing that it is taking longer than 8 months. Nissan uses Morley VSPC for the vehicle transfer. Nissan says that Morley VSPC will provide the check. Anybody heard of Morley VSPC? Are they legit. How do I know the check will clear?

Morley, at least for GM is legit. I chimed in at https://www.chevybolt.org/threads/bewar ... ost-699311. Ignore the OP claiming they're a scam.

You can find more by Googling for these, for example:
site:chevybolt.org morley rvdc
site:chevybolt.org morley repurchase

A bunch of us got our recalled Bolts bought back. I don't have a copy of my check handy, but IIRC, it was from GM's account, not Morley's.

Can you share if you bought the car new or used? How many miles? Can you share what nissan offered?
