My 2021 Nissan Leaf battery does not hold charge for more than 80 miles. Its has a chademo charger and my daughter could not get to next charger. The car battery has a system issue. The car main battery cells keep dying. Nissan replaced 4 cells last year and now more cells need replacement. These cars are becoming hazards on road as they loose charge state and its not possible to get to the next charging point even on a 230 mile journey. Nissan is aware of the issue but not willing to help proactively. I have been sold a lemon. I know of atleast 4 other families who have same model year cars and all have faced issue with the battery. I would request you all to please look into the matter and make sure the manufacturer is held accountable for not taking action proactively. They are cheating the consumers.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Inability to use an advertised feature. They advertised 50Kwh CHAdeMO charging to me when I bought the car and now, they're asking me to not use it, I wouldn't accept this with anything else. Smaller dealers won't buy a car under active recall because many times they cannot sell a car under an active recall, which means I'm forced to go to a larger (probably Nissan) dealer only? Additionally, if I were to try to sell as a private party I wouldn't feel right selling a car under active recall and/or not disclosing there's an active recall which may affect my ability to sell or get the best price for it, especially when the recall is as serious as a FIRE RISK when using an advertised and integral feature. I am unable to recharge at home because I do not have an outlet that meets the l2 requirements. Additionally, I live in an apartment so I am unable to charge. This has caused me a mass inconvenience when trying to go to family events and other events that require long distance driving because the L2charger isn't sufficient enough for me to make to it on time to these events

Manufacturer recall number R24B42 HTHSA/Recall number 24V-700 remains without a remedy. It was initiated almost a year ago on Sep 19, 2024. The inability to rapidly charge is a great burden for me. Please force Nissan to resolve the issue now or replace the car..

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
Nissan, the manufacturer, has failed to remedy a safety recall, 24V-700, for my vehicle in a timely manner. A September 19, 2024 submission report states that Recall Number R24B2 will be remedied by November 2024. Now the Nissan website "NISSAN IS CURRENTLY DEVELOPING A REMEDY PLAN THAT IS EXPECTED TO BE AVAILABLE by March 2025". It is now August 2025 and no remedy has been established. This is a safety concern and a fire hazard and must be promptly addressed.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I own a 2019 Nissan Leaf that is subject to safety recall # RS4B2. Outrageously, while this safety recall was issued almost a year ago, Nissan has to date still not offered an actual remedy. Instead, for the last year, Nissan's "remedy" has been to simply instruct Leaf owners to indefinitely refrain from DC fast-charging our vehicles. This instruction is not only logistically absurd - akin to telling the owners of gas vehicles that they can't visit gas stations for an entire year - but also financially damaging: it has rendered our vehicles totally unusable for many driving applications for almost a year. As such, Nissan's instruction to its customers to indefinitely refrain from using their vehicles the way they were marketed and sold is not merely an inconvenience but rises to the level of consumer fraud. I have asked Nissan to provide just one of the following, all of which they have refused: 1. a loaner Nissan Leaf capable of safely DC fast charging 2. an offer to repurchase my Nissan Leaf 3. a statement in writing from Nissan USA that while waiting for Nissan's still non-existent remedy to its safety recall, I may continue to DC fast-charge my Nissan Leaf without voiding the 8-year/100,000-mile battery warranty. I would be willing to accept any one of these three solutions at Nissan USA's choosing. What I am not willing to accept is being told that, until Nissan gets around to releasing a remedy to a safety recall that it issued almost a year ago, I may not use the car that I purchased according to its specifications. What can NHTSA do to force Nissan to resolve this issue?

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
My Intelligent Brake Unit failed. I was slowing down at a major intersection to stop. The ABS system activated and the brakes did not respond appropriately. The pedal went soft. Multiple lights on the dashboard lit up. My two year old child was in the vehicle with me, and we are still recovering from this traumatic experience. I considered the car disabled and had it towed to a mechanic. I then brought it to a Nissan dealership who identified that the entire intelligent brake unit needs replacing for $5,500, which is more than half of what I paid for the vehicle.

The contact owns a 2020 Nissan Leaf. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed after previously recharging the main battery, the message "EV System Error" and "Unable to Restart" was displayed on the instrument panel before the vehicle lost automotive power. Several unknown warning lights were illuminated. Additionally, the parking brake warning light illuminated, and the parking brake independently activated and failed to release as intended. The contact was able to pull over the shoulder of the road and the vehicle failed to restart. The vehicle was towed to the residence. The local dealer was contacted; however, no assistance was provided. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact related the failure to 24V700000 (Electrical System). The manufacturer was notified of the failure and advised the contact that the vehicle might need to experience a failure, or the vehicle needed to be towed to the local dealer. The failure mileage was approximately 65,000.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
For details please see: Manufacturer Recall Number R24B2 NHTSA Recall Number 24V-700 This battery issue has been known by the company but not yet addressed, despite them saying there would be a solution by March 2025. Quick charging remains not recommended which is a significant issue when using the vehicle on longer drives or for when more battery-intensive alternate routes are necessary. The ability to quick-charge a battery electric vehicle without worry of overheating or fire is a very low baseline for standard usage, and the company should fix the issue or offer replacement batteries as soon as possible.

POWER TRAIN, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Nissan issued recall R24B2 on my Leaf 9 months ago. The recall warns my car could catch on fire when fast charging, but offers no remedy other than "don't fast charge it". Nissan keeps announcing remedy dates and missing them (October 2024, March 2025, now Q3 2025). I cannot drive my vehicle on a tri longer than one charge without the fast charge capability I was sold and bought - AND I am very concerned about the fire danger - there have been multiple incidents of Leaf's catching fire because of this recall. Nissan dealer and Consumer Affairs will offer no remedy, no buyback and no work-around. Is there any way NHTSA can help here?
