The rear view mirror camera does not display an image on the console. Visibility behind the car is very poor without this camera due to the car's design, creating a hazardous driving condition.
Backup camera is a blank screen or pink screen.
The contact owns a 2019 Nissan Leaf. The contact stated that after starting the vehicle, the defroster was activated; however, the defroster fan motor became inoperable, causing the front and rear windshields to become foggy. The vehicle was not diagnosed. The dealer was contacted and stated that the vehicle was not included in NHTSA campaign number: 23v048000 (equipment, visibility). No further assistance was provided. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and confirmed that the vehicle was not included in the recall. The failure mileage was 55,000.
The backup camera does not work correctly. It shows blank in stead of surrounding video. Sometimes closing the back cover again can fix the issue but most of time no video is displayed.
Backup camera issue on a fairly frequent basis the backup camera does not function. The other cameras (side mirror, front, etc) always work correctly. Closing the rear hatch "firmly" typically resolves the issue and restores the clrear camera function. Opening/closing the rear hatch at some later point may or may not cause the camera to fail again.
2019 Nissan Leaf. On multiple occasions during hard acceleration the throttle would stick wide open and not release. 06/15/21, 06/29/21, 07/23/21, 10/01,21. I would have to stomp on the brake pedal and make several attempts before I could get the throttle to release. I have reported the issue to the Nissan dealership and on 10/02/2021 they diagnosed it as a braking issue and said they found no problem or faults. The issue is intermittent and has been reported by other Nissan Leaf owners. Very dangerous issue that needs resolved!!.
Infotainment system frequently resets. This occurs rarely at times while driving (inconvenient, not a significant problem) but it frequently occurs within 10 seconds of starting car at which time the backup camera cannot display. This is a safety concern because it means backing up without safety backup camera working.
I was driving down the freeway going roughly 70mph with pro pilot cruise control enabled. The car sensed a car ahead and slammed on the brakes, but there were no cars in front of me and was almost rear ended by a car going 70+ mph on i5 .
On Friday 5/22/2020 at 8:59 pm a 2019 Nissan Leaf was in motion driving at less than 7 miles per hours when the main screen displayed: �warning: service ev system powered reduced�. Within seconds, the operator stopped the vehicle and took a photo of the screen. Immediately following the operator saw smoke coming from the front of vehicle. The operator quickly exited the vehicle. Very shortly after the vehicle was engulfed in flames. Fire department put the flames out. See attached photos of warning screen, trip report, vehicle on fire, and vehicle after fire was put out.
Leaf backup screen turns pink when in reverse. Unable to backup safely!!! called and drove Leaf to dealer who inspected the Leaf. . Dealer said there would be a 'box delivered next week' and they would call me.
The illustration vehicle owner’s manual page 1-25, left column, “latch webbing-mounted attachment”, shows a forward-facing convertible car seat installed with the lower anchor flexible connector strap incorrectly routed through the rear-facing belt path. I first observed this error in the manual of a 2011 Leaf and notified Nissan in writing and by phone in 2012. I have observed this error also in Leaf models through 2022 and in at least one other non-leaf Nissan circa 2022. Please inspire Nissan to correct this error, which may cause child injuries in a collision. Thank you.
