general problems of the 2012 Nissan Leaf

High voltage battery keeps shorting out stalling while driving on interstate almost got hit by 18 wheeler a few times it's a very unsafe car to drive and I keep smelling something like an odor from the battery I've been trying to get help to do the door ship Nissan consumer affairs and seem to be getting nowhere and they're letting me drive a car with a high voltage battery problem that obviously has a short in it help me.

Car stops completely due to a defective battery should be recalled by dealer manufacturer.

I believe my newly purchased 2012 Nissan Leaf is suffering from the same passenger-side airbag faulty sensor problem that has been documented in NHTSA case 11234415. I am experiencing the same flashing warning lights when I operate the vehicle. There are no signs of damage or tampering with the passenger-side seat. I will do my best to make the vehicle available for inspection upon request. I am worried that the faulty senor, if unfixed, might be shutting off the whole airbag deployment safety system. If it is doing that, Nissan must recall these vehicles for repair! a previous owner took the vehicle to the dealership that originally sold the car and their service center reported that the problem was a known issue. [note: date of incident in this report refers to date of purchase of the vehicle, not the date that the problem began to occur. I do not have that information available to me. ].

Since I bought this car it has never gotten a full charge. Even when I turn off all the timers and charge for 2 days I can only go 50 miles tops and the power battery bar only goes to 5 bars. I just bought this car and I'm scared to pay more for a new battery. As it might as well be purchasing a new car😭😥.

This is an all electric vehicle. When applying the brakes at slow speeds the vehicle pulsates. This is a problem with the regenerative braking system since it doesn't happen when the vehicle is fully charged and not regenerating through the braking system.

When I drive the car into my driveway on a slight incline and I get out of the car while its in drive and the car is on, the car remains stable and does not move. The car is extremely quiet. If I plug the charger into the car, the car immediatelty drops out of drive and into neutral causing the car to roll backward.
