AIR BAGS
PASSENGER SEAT OCCUPANCY SENSOR (OCS) HAS FAILED. ONLY REPAIR OFFERED BY NISSAN IS TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE CUSHION SEAT ASSEMBLY, WHICH INCLUDES A SIDE AIRBAG AND SEAT HEATER, FOR OVER $4000 - THIS IS APPROXIMATELY THE VALUE OF THE CAR ON THE USED MARKET! A SIMILAR FAILURE FOR LATER MODEL YEARS (2013-2016) RESULTED IN A MANDATORY RECALL. USING PARTS IN A CRITICAL SAFETY SYSTEM THAT BARELY SURVIVE PAST THE CAR WARRANTY SHOULD BE CRIMINAL.

AIR BAGS
THE LIGHT FOR MY SENSOR FOR MY PASSENGER AIRBAG (OCS SENSOR) IS ON ALL THE TIME AND FLASHING RED WITH OR WITHOUT A PASSENGER IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. SEEMS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE AS I WAS TOLD ALL AIR BAGS ARE DISABLED WHEN THE LIGHT IS FLASHING. COST INVOLVES REPLACING PASSENGER SEAT TOO AND TOTAL WOULD BE $4,800. THIS IS A 2011 NISSAN LEAF WITH 78,000 MILES AND ALL 12 BARS OF RANGE STILL REMAINING (ONE REPLACEMENT BATTERY TWO YEARS AGO). I HAVE NOT HAD IT REPAIRED DUE TO COST AND IT IS NOT PART OF A RECALL OF THE SAME PROBLEM IN 2013+ LEAFS. NO 2011 RECALL FOR THIS SAFETY PROBLEM!

AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
1.PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON CONTINUOUSLY WHEN CAR IS ON, STATIONARY OR MOVING, REGARDLESS OF FRONT PASSENGER SEAT OCCUPANCY. 2.AIRBAG SYSTEM LIGHT BLINKS CONTINUOUSLY WHEN CAR IS ON, STATIONARY OR MOVING, REGARDLESS OF PASSENGER SEAT OCCUPANCY. THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP HAS WORKED ON THE PROBLEM FOUR TIMES OVER TWO PLUS YEARS, ULTIMATELY UNSUCCESSFUL FOR MORE THAN A FEW WEEKS. DEALERSHIP NOW REFUSES TO FIX THE PROBLEM CITING NISSAN CORP. RELUCTANCE TO PAY FOR REPAIR UNDER ORIGINAL WARRANTY, WHICH HAS EXPIRED. DEALERSHIP CLAIMS PASSENGER SEAT REPLACEMENT IS NECESSARY AT A COST TO US OF PERHAPS $2000. WE DON'T KNOW WHETHER THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY WHEN IT SHOULDN'T, OR WILL DEPLOY WHEN IT SHOULD.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE RANGE METER ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE DASH SHOWS INCORRECT RANGE. I UNDERSTOOD WHEN PEOPLE WOULD SAY IT DEPENDS ON HOW YOU DRIVE, BUT NO MATTER HOW I DRIVE THERE IS NO POSSIBLE WAY FOR ME TO GET THE RANGE THE CAR SAYS I HAVE. IF IT SHOWS 55 MILES I CAN BE SURE TO GET BETWEEN 20 AND 35 MILES BEFORE BEING STRANDED. I CONTACTED NISSAN FOR A WARRANTY OR SERVICE CONCERN AND THEY CLAIMED IT NOT TO BE A MANUFACTURER DEFECT.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHEN THE CAR WAS TURNED ON IT WOULD MAKE A LOUD HUMMING NOISE. WHEN YOU PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE IT WOULD ROLL BACK, ONCE YOU TAP ON THE BREAKS TO STOP IT WOULD KEEP ROLLING BACK. ONLY WAY IT WOULD STOP WAS BY SLAMMING ON THE BREAKS. SAME THING WOULD HAPPEN WHEN GOING FORWARD. THE ONLY WAY THE CAR WOULD BE DRIVABLE IS AFTER I LET IT SIT FOR A WHILE AND THEN GO BACK TO TURN IT ON AGAIN.

SERVICE BRAKES
I WAS DRIVING THE CAR ON A ONE-WAY STREET AT AROUND 25-30 MPH AND NEEDED TO APPLY THE BRAKES TO STOP QUICKLY. I HIT THE BRAKES WITH ALL THE FORCE I COULD WITH MY LEG---THE BRAKES DID NOT ENGAGE AND THE CAR DID NOT STOP IN TIME. IT SEEMED LIKE SOME KIND OF WEIRD GLITCH BECAUSE I UNDERSTAND THAT THE CAR HAS ELECTRIC SUPPORT FOR THE BRAKES. AT OTHER TIMES THE BRAKES DIDN'T RESPOND IN THE CORRECT TIME. NOTE I HAD THE BRAKES INSPECTED SEVERAL TIMES BY A PUENTE HILLS NISSAN AND THE BRAKE PADS WERE FINE. THERE WAS ALSO A STRANGE CLICKING NOISE COMING FROM THE BRAKES WHEN THEY DISENGAGED. IT SEEMS TO BE SOME KIND OF TIME DELAY IN THE SOFTWARE. I ALSO READ THAT SINCE THE CAR HAS REGENERATE BRAKING IT'S LIKE THE CAR GETS CONFUSED WHEN IT SUPPOSED TO APPLY THE BRAKES AND NOT SLOW DOWN FROM THE ENGINE. I HAD TROUBLE BRAKING OTHER TIMES WHEN I WORE LIGHT SHOES OR SANDALS.

AIR BAGS
WHILE DRIVING AND MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN, THE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. A CHECK OF THE DIAGNOSTIC CODES SHOWED THAT THE PASSENGER OCCUPANCY SENSOR FAILED. THEY RESET THE CODE AND IT CLEARED FOR 2 WEEKS, THEN RE-APPEARED. WAS INFORMED THAT REPAIRS TO REPLACE THE PASSENGER OCCUPANCY SENSOR WAS $2700 + LABOR. THIS SAME PART WAS RECALLED IN 2013+, BUT NOT RECALLED ON 2011/2012. THE REPAIR IS VERY EXPENSIVE BECAUSE NISSAN WILL NOT SELL JUST THE AIRBAG SENSOR--YOU MUST PURCHASE AN ENTIRE SEAT.

AIR BAGS
THE LIGHT FOR MY SENSOR FOR MY PASSENGER AIRBAG (OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM OCS SENSOR) IS ON ALL THE TIME AND FLASHING, EVEN WHEN THERE IS AN ADULT PASSENGER SITTING IN THE CAR. AFTER A SEARCH ONLINE, I FOUND THAT NISSAN LEAFS FROM 2013 TO 2018 HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THAT OCS PART, BUT MY 2011 NISSAN LEAF HAS NOT. ONLINE, MANY OTHER OWNERS OF MY SAME YEAR NISSAN HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. MY DEALER TOLD ME, IN ORDER TO REPLACE THE SENSOR, SINCE IT IS OUTSIDE THE WARRANTY, IT WILL REQUIRE REPLACING THE ENTIRE PASSENGER SEAT, WHICH IS UPWARDS OF $2700, NOT INCLUDING LABOR. I CALLED NISSAN, WHO TOLD ME THAT IT IS TOO FAR OUT OF THE WARRANTY, AND THEY CANNOT HELP ME. THE CUSTOMER SERVICE AGENT TRIED TO GET ME A COURTESY REIMBURSEMENT, BUT HE WAS UNABLE TO CONVINCE THE HIGHER-UPS, AND ALSO COULDN'T EVEN CONVINCE THEM TO REIMBURSE THE AMOUNT I HAD TO PAY TO HAVE THE DEALER CONFIRM WHAT I ALREADY KNEW ABOUT THE DEFECTIVE PART (ANOTHER $145). I AM NOW FORCED TO RIDE WITHOUT AIRBAGS FOR MY FRONT PASSENGER. IT SEEMS UNCONSCIONABLE FOR NISSAN TO ALLOW A SENSOR (A PART INTEGRAL TO THE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE AND NOT AFFECTED BY NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR OF THE CAR) TO NOT BE PART OF A RECALL, ESPECIALLY WHEN SO MANY OTHER VEHICLES (NISSAN AND OTHERWISE) HAVE THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. I CAN ONLY ASSUME IT'S BECAUSE THE SENSOR IS TOO DIFFICULT TO REPLACE CHEAPLY. THEY LIKELY FIGURED OUT THE PROBLEM WITHIN THE FIRST FEW YEARS OF THE CAR'S MANUFACTURE AND CHANGED THE LOCATION OF THE SENSOR - HENCE THE REASON THEY WOULD AGREE TO REPLACE THOSE IN LATER MODELS AND NOT THEIR EARLIEST MODELS.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
A CASE#33557927 WAS REPORTED TO NISSAN LEAF CONSUMER RELATION AND A CAR WAS TAKEN TO A DEALERSHIP AT LONG BEACH NISSAN(PHONE #562-264-400) TO REPORT A BATTER THAT IS NOT HOLDING CHARGE AND RECENTLY THE CAR BEGIN TO LURCH FORWARD. NISSAN WAS ABLE TO REPRODUCE THE ISSUE. NISSAN CORP SHOULD CORRECT THE BATTERY AND SAFETY ISSUE. SO FAR, THEY HAVE BEEN PROFESSIONAL AND DOES NOT TAKE ANY OWNERSHIP TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM. I REQUEST AN EMAIL AFTER THE CASE WAS OPENED AND THEY NEVER SEND ME THE EMAIL. THIS ISSUE INVOLVE SAFETY AND BATTERY NOT HOLDING CHARGE. THE BATTERY IS STILL UNDER DEFECTIVE WARRANTY. NISSAN WANTS TO PUT THE VEHICLE ON PUBLIC ROAD THAT IS NOT SAFE. NHTSA BOARD WOULD AGREED WITH ME THAT NISSAN ACTED IRRESPONSIBLY SHOULD THEY GO FORWARD WITH NOT FIXING THE BATTER AND THE CAR LURCHING FORWARD ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN LEAF. AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS VERY SOFT AND TRAVELED HALFWAY TO THE FLOORBOARD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS EVIDENT IN EXTREMELY COLD WEATHER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MANCHESTER CITY NISSAN (30 TOLLAND TURNPIKE, MANCHESTER, CT 06042, (860) 643-4165) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO RETRIEVE A FAULT CODE OR DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V119000 (SERVICE BRAKES). THE FAILURE RECURRED TWICE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 36,000. *TT *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
BRAKES FAILED UPON STARTING THE CAR. MULTIPLE WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD (BRAKE, ABS, TRACTION CONTROL, AND BRAKE SYSTEM) RESULTING IN TOTAL BRAKE FAILURE - CANNOT STOP THE CAR WITH NORMAL BRAKING EVEN WHILE JUST PUTTING THE CAR INTO DRIVE/REVERSE FROM PARK. STARTED HAPPENING ~3 WEEKS AGO. THE ONLY THING THAT STOPS THE CAR IS THE EMERGENCY / PARKING BRAKE. IF PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL ALL THE WAY, JUST BEFORE HITTING THE FLOOR THERE IS A LOUD POPPING / GRINDING NOISE AND THE PARKING BRAKE (?) ENGAGES. THE FIRST TIME, TURNING THE CAR OFF/ON FIXED IT. WE TOOK IT TO OUR LOCAL NISSAN DEALER, THEY SAID "COULD NOT FIND THE ISSUE IN THEIR SYSTEM" AND SAID IT WAS A "FLUKE" AND WOULDN'T HAPPEN AGAIN. HAPPENED AGAIN A FEW DAYS LATER AND TURNING THE CAR OFF/ON DIDN'T HELP, AND THE CAR WAS STUCK IN OUR DRIVEWAY. TRIED REPLACING THE 12V BATTERY, WHICH FIXED THE ISSUE TEMPORARILY. HAPPENED AGAIN A FEW DAYS AFTER THAT AND HAD TO GET IT TOWED BACK TO NISSAN. *NOW* THEY FOUND THE ISSUE IN THEIR SYSTEM AND THINK IT'S THE "DRIVEN INTELLIGENT BRAKE UNIT" AND COSTS $2600+ TO FIX. THEY ALSO SAY THE "MAIN ENGINE HARNESS" MAY NEED TO BE REPLACED FOR SOME REASON AS WELL, COSTING ANOTHER $2400+. HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN USA, THEY TOLD ME THEY DON'T HAVE A RECORD OF THIS BEING A PROBLEM WITH LEAFS (EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE DOZENS OF COMPLAINTS ON HERE) AND REFUSES TO PROVIDE ASSISTANCE. THIS BRAKE SYSTEM IS *EXTREMELY UNSAFE* FOR THE DRIVER & PASSENGERS, AND EVERYONE AROUND IT. MY KIDS COULD HAVE BEEN NEAR THE CAR WHEN IT STARTED MOVING ON ITS OWN EVEN THOUGH I WAS PUSHING THE BRAKE PEDAL. NO ONE NEEDS TO DIE OR GET GRAVELY INJURED BECAUSE OF THIS FAULTY SYSTEM.

SERVICE BRAKES
THE BRAKES STOPPED WORKING THIS MORNING WHEN THE TEMPERATURE REACHED 0F. PULLING OUT OF A PARKING SPOT ON LOW SPEED I SAW THE "BRAKE" AND "ABS" WARNING ICON ON THE DASHBOARD. WHEN I TRIED TO STOP BY PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE CAR WOULDN'T STOP AT ALL, WHEN THE PEDAL WAS PRESSED ALL THE WAY, I COULD HEAR THE ABS ENGAGING, BUT IT STILL DIDN'T WORK. I WAS ONLY ABLE TO STOP USING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. I DID NOT OBSERVE ANY OBVIOUS BLOCKAGE(SNOW OR OTHERWISE) ON THE BRAKES. LATER IN THE DAY, THE BRAKES STARTED WORKING AGAIN WHEN I WARMED UP THE CAR BEFORE OPERATING. BECAUSE I WAS NOT SURE OF THE CAUSE OF MALFUNCTION, I'VE SENT THE CAR TO THE DEALER TO BE SEEN.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
STARTING ON 12/03/2018, THIS 2011 NISSAN LEAF BEGAN RELEASING SMOKE AND A NOXIOUS BURNING-PLASTIC SMELL INTO THE CABIN DURING 240V AND 125V ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY AND THE IGNITION IS OFF. THE SMOKE ORIGINATES FROM THE ON-BOARD CHARGER (PART 296A0-3NA8A) LOCATED BEHIND THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE SEAT, WHICH IS RIGHT BEHIND WHERE THE CHILD SEAT USUALLY GOES. DESPITE THIS, THE VEHICLE CONTINUES TO CHARGE FROM ELECTRICAL SOURCES AND DRIVE NORMALLY. AN INSPECTION BY STEVENS CREEK NISSAN (4855 STEVENS CREEK BLVD, SANTA CLARA, CA 95051) ON 12/12/2018 FOUND THE SAME BURNING SMELL AND REPORTED THAT A "FUSE IN THE ON-BOARD CHARGER (IS) FUSING". THEY OFFERED NO FURTHER EXPERTISE ABOUT THE CAUSE EXCEPT TO RECOMMEND A REPLACEMENT OF THE ON-BOARD CHARGER. ON THE SAME DAY, NISSAN NORTH AMERICA WAS CONTACTED AND ASKED TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE AND REPLIED THAT THEY REFUSED TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM ON 01/11/2019. THE ATTACHED IMAGES INCLUDE THE TECHNICIAN'S REPORT FROM NISSAN STEVENS CREEK AND PHOTOGRAPHS OF WHAT APPEARS TO BE THERMAL DAMAGE AND COMBUSTIBLE SOOT BUILDUP WITHIN THE ON-BOARD CHARGER, WHICH NOT ONLY CHEMICALLY CORRODES ELECTRONICS, BUT ALSO CAUSES OVERHEATING AND PRESENTS A FIRE HAZARD.

SERVICE BRAKES
UPON STARTING MY 2015 LEAF, WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE, I WAS ABLE TO PLACE THE CAR IN REVERSE; IN SPITE OF THE BRAKE BEING DEPRESSED, THE CAR IMMEDIATELY BEGAN TO MOVE. WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL DEPRESSED TO THE FLOOR, THE CAR CONTINUED TO MOVE IN REVERSE, UNTIL I FRANTICALLY APPLIED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. ALL DASH WARNING LIGHTS BECAME ILLUMINATED AND THE CAR MADE A GRINDING SOUND, WHEN I STEPPED ON THE BRAKE. THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER HAD TO PUT CAR IN REVERSE AND USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO MOVE THE CAR INTO A TOWABLE POSITION. PER NISSAN, THE INTELLIGENT BRAKE CONTROL UNIT FAILED AND WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED ALONG WITH THE ASSOCIATED HARNESS. NISSAN OFFERED TO PAY $5,500, LEAVING ME TO PAY $1,500 TO COVER COST OF REPAIR. THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY CONCERN THAT THE VEHICLE CAN HAVE A CATASTROPHIC BRAKE FAILURE WHICH COMPLETELY DISABLES THE VEHICLE. I AM VERY FORTUNATE THE FAILURE OCCURRED IN AN AREA DEVOID OF ANY PEDESTRIANS AND CLEAR OF ANY MOVING OR PARKED VEHICLES. I EXPECT THAT IT WON'T BE LONG BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED BY THIS FAILURE.

THE VEHICLE'S BLIND SPOT DETECTOR TURNS OFF AT LOW SPEEDS POTENTIALLY PUTTING THE DRIVER AT RISK IF THE DRIVER DEPENDS ON THE BLIND SPOT DETECTOR. THE COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEM IS UNRELIABLE. WHEN THE CAR IN FRONT SWITCHES LANES AND THERE IS A STOPPED CAR IN FRONT THE VEHICLE STARTS TO SLOW DOWN BUT RELEASES THE BREAKS ABOUT 50 FT FROM THE STOPPED CAR AND STARTS WARNING OF IMPENDING COLLISION. AND THE BREAKS ARE NOT APPLIED.

SERVICE BRAKES
I BROUGHT THE CAR IN FOR BRAKE SAFETY RECALL IN 2017. ON OCT 31ST, 2018 WITH 56,320 MILES THE BRAKES FAILED IN DRIVEWAY TWICE IN COLD WEATHER. ON NOV 1 THE BRAKES WERE WORKING AGAIN WITH WARMER WEATHER. I DROVE TO THE DEALERSHIP. RAN TESTS, FOUND NOTHING WRONG. I WAS TOLD IT WAS A LOW 12 VOLT BATTERY EVEN THOUGH I HAD REPLACED THE BATTERY 24 MONTHS PRIOR (NOW 3RD BATTERY IN 3 YEARS). I WAS CHARGED $388 FOR A NEW BATTERY. BUT I COULD NOT LEAVE THE DEALERSHIP. THE BRAKES FAILED AGAIN BEFORE I COULD LEAVE. I HAD THE TECHNICIAN TEST. HERE ARE NOTES HE WROTE: "BRAKES FAILED AGAIN IN SERVICE PARKING LOT. ADVISOR VERIFIED CONCERN. YELLOW ABS LIGHT, YELLOW BRAKE SYSTEM WARNING LIGHT AND VDC WARNING LIGHTS WERE ON. NO BRAKE PEDAL PRESSURE. PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND COULD HEAR AN ELECTRONIC CLICKING NOISE. HAD TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP VEHICLE. VEHICLE WAS IN READY MODE WHEN CONCERN HAPPENED. CAUSE: ELECTRONIC BRAKE CONTROL UNIT FAILING TO COMMUNICATE WITH OTHER CONTROL UNITS." $2500 FIX. NISSAN COVERED 80%, BILL WAS $553 WITH NO REFUND FOR THE 12 VOLT BATTERY.
