There is a safety recall for the traction battery that is over a year old. I cannot use the car as intended because fast charging is not available. I am constantly worried about the battery catching fire as I hear more reports of this happening. Nissan has not reached out to me about this recall and there is no indication of when a fix will be available. Nissan is not taking this recall seriously and needs to settle it ASAP! It has now been a year since the recall was announced. I am entering my travel season for work again and cannot use my car.

We have an open recall for the DC fast Charging for the last year. I use my car for work and often need to fast charge and haven’t been able to and so have to use another vehicle. This has caused a lot of stress and problems for work over the last year and Nissan have failed to address. I am also then concerned about resale value for the vehicle

The car was recalled over a year ago, and a remedy was promised in a few months. The issue has still not been resolved, resulting in the inability to take the car on a trip longer than about 175 miles. This completely compromises the usability of the vehicle!

It has been a YEAR with no ability to quick charge my car. This is ridiculous, they need to put in a new battery and be done with this. It renders the car useless for many trips! Why aren't you doing anything about this?

Nissan has told it's customers to not fast charge the vehicle due to the risk of a battery fire, which is a big issue if you are trying to drive a longer distance. No ability to safely fast charge this vehicle makes it worthless unless you use it locally only. Nissan has promised a remedy for this situation, first deadline was March 2025, but they have consistently delayed this action. Something needs to be done in order to rectify this issue. I do not feel safe fast charging this vehicle, and it's pretty worthless to me as a primary vehicle.

This car has been under recall at risk of fire, injury, and death, and Nissan has made no attempts to fix the recall for years now. Im not able to use a feature I paid for and I'm worried if someone else uses the vehicle without knowing will start a fire

Nissan has issued a recall for the fast charging system on this vehicle in September, 2024. Over a year later, there has been no resolution to the charging issue. I live in a rural area where medical appointments, shopping and family activities are outside of the car's battery range. The lack of a solution has rendered my car useless for most times I would need a vehicle. This is my only car so I often need to carpool or borrow to get places.

I recently purchased a 2019 Nissan Leaf that is currently affected by NHTSA Recall Number 24V-700. This recall was initially issued on September 19, 2024, "instructing customers not to use Level 3 quick charging until the remedy is completed". The initial expectation of a corrective remedy was November 2024, which was later changed "Due to an unexpected delay in the final remedy software development" to Spring 2025. Today is September 22, 2025, over a full year from the date that the recall was initiated, and well beyond "Spring 2025", with no remedy available and I'm unable to safely use Level 3 quick charging. I believe this falls into the category of failing or unable "to remedy this safety recall for your vehicle in a timely manner" and Nissan needs to be held accountable for this safety issue that is preventing me from fully utilizing my vehicle as expected.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I am submitting this complaint due to Nissan's lack of action on a critical safety recall that has remained open without a remedy for over a year (NHTSA Recall Number 24V-700 / Nissan Recall Number R24B2). The recall involves a manufacturing defect in the high-voltage battery that can cause overheating and fire during DC fast charging. This is a severe safety risk, not only to owners but also to nearby vehicles and property at charging stations. Nissan’s only response has been to tell owners not to use DC fast charging, which was inadequate as a temporary measure and unacceptable as a long-term solution. Without access to DC fast charging, vehicle usability is severely compromised. Daily commuting is difficult, and long-distance travel is nearly impossible. Level 1 and 2 charging do not provide practical alternatives, and many owners rely on DC fast charging as their only feasible option. This feature is a basic expectation of modern EV ownership, and had I known I would lose it indefinitely, I would never have purchased this vehicle. After a full year, Nissan has provided no remedy, no timeline, and no meaningful communication. Even if a fix were announced today, implementation would take additional weeks or months. This is not a timely response to a major safety and usability issue. As an affected owner, I expect one of the following: (1) Nissan issues and implements a permanent fix within 30 days, (2) provides a free loaner vehicle until a remedy is available, or (3) repurchases the defective vehicles from me and other affected owners. Continuing with no action is unacceptable. As a repeat Nissan customer, this experience has been deeply disappointing and has caused me to lose confidence in the brand.
