1 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 12/22/2020

Hello! I have my 2017 Nissan Leaf sv with 30kwh battery in at Nissan of troy, mainly due to two problems. This is a 2017 Nissan Leaf with 30kwh batte hello! I have my 2017 Nissan Leaf sv with 30kwh battery in at Nissan of troy, mainly due to two problems. This is a 2017 Nissan Leaf with 30kwh battery with a DC-fc fast charge plug that's supposed to be able to charge the battery roughly 15x faster than 6. 6k level2/3 chargers. The key two problems are as follows: a. Dcfc fails to charge on 2017 Nissan Leaf and causes j1772 to be unable to charge it anymore subsequently getting a charge in a pinch leads to really needing a tow truck!! b. The range on the battery drops drastically on a regular day to day drive. . . The other day I left for a 4. 5mile trip with 17miles on gom and by time I drove 2 miles range went down to 11miles. Before I was 1/2 way low battery indicator went off and ~1. 5miles to home very low battery kicks in. - I believe the car gom always over estimates the range to what I'm able to drive. It can never drive up to the suggested range so I must have either a bad battery or a faulty battery management module of some sorts ???.

2 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 06/10/2019

When driving our 2017 Nissan Leaf electric vehicle at about 65 mph up a steep hill / steep incline, we are experiencing a loud clunk from the battery area when the vehicle climbs over 2000ft elevation within a short distance (16 miles). The clunk always happens within the same 1 mile stretch of road and happens every time we drive the car from salt lake city, ut (4,226 feet) to summit park, ut (6,887 feet). We first noticed it this summer 2019. There is an audible clunk and it can be felt through the passenger foot-well behind the driver's seat. There is a thread on the mynissanleaf. . Read more...
