The recall preventing me from fast charging and using my car as intended was supposed to be fixed by now! I would like a buyback by Nissan since they can't reach a resolution.

It has been months where I have not been able to fast charge my Nissan Leaf due to the recall. The other week, because I drove out of town and I had to fast charge, I received an error message from the Level 3 charger and could not charge my Nissan Leaf. Please contact Nissan to urge them to quickly find a remedy to this issue. So far, I cannot travel beyond my city with my car because I can't fast charge to return home. Manufacturer Recall Number - R24B2 NHTSA Recall Number - 24V-700

I received a recall notice from Nissan on 9/19/24. It stated: "Until your vehicle is remedied, do NOT use the level 3 quick charge port (CHAdeMO). ....... If quick charging continues, a battery fire may occur, increasing the risk of injury." I was told by your office that Nissan "expects" to have a remedy by this summer. That's nearly a year of very limited use of my Nissan Leaf, never mind the significant reduction in its resale value. It is a very very poor standard of responsibility by Nissan.

The affected EV battery in my vehicle is in danger of fire during Level 3 quick charging that I frequently use. It has been 8 months since the recall, but no remedy is available yet. This is utterly unacceptable and may even be illegal.

Reporting that, in September 2024, Nissan publicly suggested March 2025 would be the estimated timeline for recall service resolution. Now in May 2025, I'm still unable to use the Level 3 charging due to recall 24V-700. Until September 2024, we could safely use this feature for longer term trips, and we are still waiting for Nissan to resolve this recall so we can resume trips.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Because of the uncorrected recall issue, I have been unable to use the quick charge on my vehicle for 8 months. This has been an great inconvenience and will cause me to **have to rent a car for the summer if the problem is not corrected.** Remedy has missed the promised fix date by two months already. From the recall notice WHILE AN AFFECTED VEHICLE IS LEVEL 3 QUICK CHARGING, THE INCREASED ELECTRICAL RESISTANCE COULD RESULT IN RAPID HEATING OF THE BATTERY. IF QUICK CHARGING CONTINUES, A BATTERY FIRE MAY OCCUR INCREASING THE RISK OF INJURY. CUSTOMERS ARE INSTRUCTED NOT TO USE LEVEL 3 QUICK CHARGING VIA THE CHADEMO CONNECTOR UNTIL THE REMEDY IS COMPLETED

Fortunately, nothing has happened yet but the recall for the battery fire risk still has not been resolved. I would like to know when Nissan will come up with a fix for this recall which was issued in September 2024. They said they were going to come up with a fix by March 2025.

SEATS, AIR BAGS
Car throws a B1018 DTC, which is for the passenger seat occupancy sensor. The seat occupancy sensor failing poses a major safety risk, as it causes the airbags to not deploy properly in the event of a crash. This is a very well known issue for the 2011-2012 LEAF, and the only option Nissan gives to fix this is a full seat replacement, which is cost prohibitive at over $3000. Previously, a recall was issued for 2013-2016 LEAFs for a similar issue, but the 2011-2012 was not included in that recall.

STEERING
When turning left there is a plasticky sticking feeling and sound like a plastic bushing is coming apart. this causes the steering to momentarily bind. this happens most often when making gentle curves on the highway. the feeling causes you to overcorrect the steering wheel. there are many complaints online of similar issues from 2016 Nissan leafs. The issue occurs near daily since purchasing the car back in 2023. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

SERVICE BRAKES
I was driving about 30mph and suddenly out of nowhere my brakes went out. They went out for about 1 second and some lights went out - then I slammed on the brakes, skidded to a halt and stopped in the. middle of the road, nearly crashing. We took it to the garage and they ran two codes and told us to take it to the dealer. The dealer quoted us about $8,000 and said it needed to "replace electrically driven brake control unit AND e-harness (engine room harness) (240123nh1d)". This makes the car dangerous to drive due to failures beyond our control or regular maintenance. This is a car failure and should be covered by a recall. It is simply not safe to drive. Looking online, this has happened to other Nissan Leafs of the same year/model as well.

UNKNOWN - Since being notified of Recall R24B2 for the 2020 Nissan Leaf, I’ve been unable to safely use many chargers due to the risk of battery overheating and potential fire. The fix was first promised for Nov 2024, then delayed to Mar 2025, and now it's April 2025 with no resolution. This ongoing delay has disrupted the ability to use the vehicle as intended. Leaving it on slow chargers for long periods requires the use of alternate transportation frequently. My local dealership has no updates, and Nissan has not offered interim solutions. I’m reporting this as a safety concern due to the risk of overheating and the prolonged lack of remedy.
