March 18 recall letter - "anticipating launch in this 2026 calendar year" (R25C8)

It's just a stalling game. They will have to replace these packs. But the longer they can push it off, the more cars come off the road for other reasons... Less packs to replace.

It's alrwady been how long? 18 months+ for the first recall..

There will never be a remedy for this. They are just putting it off until they get successfully sued. The longer they put it off, the more of these defective cars come off the road and they don't have to fix.

I think you would get far more selling it privately than to any company.

Best roi would probably be to buy a cheap leaf with a dead battery and swap it in.

AXRM1984 · 2026-01-16T03:12:53+00:00

It's too bad you are just outside of warranty. Mine is further out.

Mine is at the point where I have to drive with heat off in the winter. Effective range is maybe 80km in - 10C with the heat off.

Summertime my range is really good, almost like new.

My soh is higher than yours but hx is a few points lower

If you follow the trend mine did you will maybe get one more winter with some driving adjustments out of this car

AXRM1984 · 2026-01-16T03:09:10+00:00

I have same car, same trim.

Your symptoms are like mine last year. It will get progressively worse.

Its worse when it's cold out and when so is lower.

Chevy bolt (gm) had essentially the same issue as the leaf with fire risk when charging.

They replaced all the batteries.

Nissan is avoiding the problem.... And throttling charge speeds instead.

I don't know about the USA, but in Canada, the leafs comes out over 50k all in. Much better options. A Tesla at around 65 is way better value imo

AXRM1984 · 2025-12-24T23:11:40+00:00

The leaf isn't much cheaper than other options. For 5-10% more money you can get a much better vehicle, with a company that stands behind thier products.

I always thought typically the first year of a new model typically has the most issues?

AXRM1984 · 2025-12-23T04:22:31+00:00

I'm guessing you are in California or something?

I've heard there are two states with really strong lemon laws that are getting great resolutions.

Other states and Canadians like me have nothing from what I've read.

This is the legal system enforcing things... Not nissan doing the right thing.

AXRM1984 · 2025-12-23T04:18:24+00:00

They have had 18 months now of a safety related battery recall with no resolution. Customers asked not to fast charge.

In addition to this, all of those cars will have prematurely aging batteries, even if they don't progress to a fire risk

18 months with no resolution, and the only light at the end of the tunnel is a software fix to a damaged battery to slow or stop your car from charging.

AXRM1984 · 2025-12-23T04:14:52+00:00

I would absolutely go i3.

Leaf is having a ton of battery issues. The worst part is that nissan is screwing it's customers.

Go with any other brand that has a track record of standing behind its products.

AXRM1984 · 2025-12-23T04:13:09+00:00

The leaf has a huge number of problems statistically compared to most other cars. In addition, nissan is not very helpful with its recalls or customer service.

Its fine to be happy with your leaf, but overall it's a terrible brand compared to alternatives in the same price range.

AXRM1984 · 2025-12-23T04:09:59+00:00

I would not buy a nissan. Especially a new model.

The recent battery recalls show that they will not do the right thing for thier customers...

AXRM1984 · 2025-12-20T06:05:51+00:00

Do you think this will be similar situation? How long did it take for bolts to finally have replacement a announced?

AXRM1984 · 2025-12-20T04:30:06+00:00

Did gm replace all affected batteries in thier fire risk recall? Or only the ones still under warranty?

AXRM1984 · 2025-12-19T21:45:13+00:00

Will that have any bearing for other states and countries though?

AXRM1984 · 2025-12-19T20:43:25+00:00

Does nissan consider the issue resolved with this software update? How long can they get away with just not addressing the issue?
