Nissan still has not provided a remedy for recall number Nissan recall r24b2 NHTSA 24v700000. This prevents me from being able to access the full use of the car because I cannot fast charge without risk of damaging the ev battery. Just last week I had to borrow a gas car and pay for gas in order to take a road trip. This is unacceptable. We should have a remedy by now.
The reverse camera is consistently not connected and shows a pink, gray, or distorted image when in reverse. A few months ago, it would intermittently do this and then resolve itself. I mentioned this at the Nissan service center during our maintenance check up and because it couldn't be replicated, they would charge me just to complete a diagnostic report. I declined especially since it fixed itself. For the last several weeks, it hasn't been functioning correctly which makes seeing my surroundings less safe. I've reviewed [xxx] and see that other Nissan Leafs in our date range require repair, but the recall is not listed for our VIN number. I'm worried about our safety due to the failure of the reverse camera and would like support in a resolution as we no longer have the vehicle under warranty.

I am unable to travel long distances in my 2020 Nissan Leaf due to the pending recall, which states that rapid charging may cause a fire in the car due to overheating of the primary lithium battery. Fast charging is the only workable charging method for traveling long distances in the Nissan Leaf. This failure to correct the problem has rendered my Nissan Leaf useless and valueless.
Manufacture has failed to deliver a remedy to a recall in a timely manner.
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?.
To whom it may concern, I am writing to formally submit a complaint regarding an unresolved safety recall affecting my 2020 Nissan Leaf, currently with approximately 30,000 miles. The recall in question addresses a battery overheating risk associated with level 3 fast charging (chademo), which Nissan has acknowledged and advised owners to avoid until a solution becomes available—scheduled for November 2024. I have contacted my local dealership, flow Nissan of fayetteville (4559 raeford rd, fayetteville nc, 28304 - tel: 910-323-4400), multiple times requesting assistance during this period. Unfortunately, the service department informed me that no temporary solution or loaner vehicle could be provided, stating that Nissan national has yet to authorize support. As a member of the u. S. Air force reserve, this situation poses a serious hardship. My duty station is located approximately 90 minutes from my residence, and I am required to report three times per month. The inability to reliably and safely operate my vehicle places not only my personal safety at risk due to the recall restrictions but also jeopardizes my ability to fulfill military obligations. I respectfully request that Nissan provide a loaner vehicle or alternative transportation during this recall period or offer compensation to secure a rental. This issue is not only a safety concern but is now directly impacting my professional responsibilities as a servicemember. Thank you for your attention and support in resolving this matter. Sincerely,.
Unresolved safety recall (r24b2) has rendered the vehicle unreliable and potentially unsafe. Nissan has not provided a timeline for a fix and has refused interim assistance.
Manufacturer has failed to provide a remedy for recall campaign r24b2 in a timely manner. The vehicle capability is impaired as the effective range is now limited due to the inability to fast charge the vehicle. It no longer provides the same functionality. The value of the vehicle is also reduced due to the open recall, so I am unable to resell the vehicle and replace it with a comparable model.
My vehicle has been under active recall for over 1 year for a risk of battery fire if quick charged. I am filing this complaint because Nissan has failed to remedy this recall safety issue in a timely manner. It is completely unacceptable to have an open safety recall with no remedy for greater than 1 year! this is recall 24v700000 thank you for help.
It has been a year on this recall and Nissan has not provided any fix.
I own a 2020 Nissan Leaf s with the fast-charge (chademo) package, which is affected by the battery/fast-charge recall (manufacturer recall number r24b2, NHTSA recall number 24v-700). This recall restricts or disables DC fast charging, substantially limiting the vehicle’s usability and functionality, making it difficult to use for normal transportation and longer trips. I am filing this complaint to report the safety and usability impact of this battery/fast-charge recall on 2020 Leaf fast-charge vehicles and to ensure it is properly documented.
My back up camera is having issue, like becoming dark, multicolored and pink. It is not safe to back up especially when it rains. I purchased this car two months ago (December, 2023) and this problem started a month ago, sometimes it works fine but mostly is not working. I contacted the Nissan dealer I purchsed from but they did not confirmed the issue and I know a lot of people (in facebook group) who has the same issue with their Nissan Leaf even with new 2023 models, mine is 2020. When I called the dealer to inspect they are charging me $130 just to inspect. It's 25,000 miles on this car, this is pretty new car. Thank you!.
Backup camera was intermittently not working. Dealer tested and found "rear camera image signal test at the avm connector 20-19, and the signal is not normal". Code u111a-00 was found. Camera was replaced under extended warranty with $100 deductible, code was cleared and camera is now working. Vehicle has been in service for 2. 5yrs and has 40k miles. I've seen several Nissan backup camera recalls, but my vehicle was apparently not included? submitting in case others are experiencing and a recall might be needed?.
Nissan refusing assistance. They will not buyback the vehicle or at least give me partial money back, which I asked for $18000 to at least pay off loan.
The backup camera of my 2020 Nissan Leaf does not consistently work. Often, the screen is bright pink and does not show the view of behind the vehicle. Clearly, it is a safety issue to have a malfunctioning backup camera. I am getting it serviced by a Nissan dealer next week. The failure seems to be related to opening and shutting the rear hatch, because sometimes the camera would work and sometimes it failed. It is consistently broken now.
Nissan claims that a previous recall for federal motor vehicle safety standard (fmvss) number 111, rear visibility could be fixed with a system update (recall 20v412000). This does not appear to be the case. I had the system update run already in December 2022 and it didn't fix the problem. The rear backup camera still goes pink and is not visible. I believe this is a hardware issue and should be fixed because it is a major safety problem.
When putting my car in reverse my back up camera intermittently will not work. I have called the dealership that I purchased the vehicle (rossen of madison on the beltline). I have taken the car multiple times, I have called multiple times. Nissan has yet to include my vehicle make and model into the recall. Even though it is a 2020 model. My car is at the dealership today as my camera stopped working last week and was still not working this morning. However the dealership is now telling me "it worked when it arrived and they have been unable to recreate the issue". This is frustrating and needs to have an official recall please!.
The reverse camera system that activates when the car is in reverse is so blurry that it is impossible to distinguish objects. You can't tell if that's a box in the driveway behind your car or a baby seat with a baby in it. For test purposes a sign with 3-inch letters placed 48 inches from the camera is completely illegible on screen. Nissan reports that this is normal operation for the 2020 Leaf rear camera. I am attaching a picture of the rear camera screen along with a picture of the exact same scene taken with a cell phone. The quality difference is quite striking, and illustrates how potentially dangerous the 2020 Leaf rear camera could be for drivers.
Back over prevention: sensing system: camera - recall no 20v412000 - for a week at a time on a monthly basis the back-up camera will disappear while in reverse. And therefore our vehicle no longer complies with federal motor vehicle safety standard (fmvss) number 111 "rear visibility". - yes the vehicle is available for inspection upon request. - my safety and the safety of others continues to be put at risk due to the lack of an image in the back-up camera display which increases the risk of a crash. - we have taken the vehicle into the Nissan dealership 4 times and every time they state they cannot recreate the error even though the error is occurring as I am dropping the vehicle off at the dealership. - there has been no other warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure. This has been a re-occurring problem since vehicle was purchased in December 2020.
