Reporting that, in September 2024, Nissan publicly suggested March 2025 would be the estimated timeline for recall service resolution. Now in may 2025, I'm still unable to use the level 3 charging due to recall 24v-700. Until September 2024, we could safely use this feature for longer term trips, and we are still waiting for Nissan to resolve this recall so we can resume trips.

It has been months where I have not been able to fast charge my Nissan Leaf due to the recall. The other week, because I drove out of town and I had to fast charge, I received an error message from the level 3 charger and could not charge my Nissan Leaf. Please contact Nissan to urge them to quickly find a remedy to this issue. So far, I cannot travel beyond my city with my car because I can't fast charge to return home. Manufacturer recall number - r24b2 NHTSA recall number - 24v-700.

Fortunately, nothing has happened yet but the recall for the battery fire risk still has not been resolved. I would like to know when Nissan will come up with a fix for this recall which was issued in September 2024. They said they were going to come up with a fix by March 2025.

Unknown - since being notified of recall r24b2 for the 2020 Nissan Leaf, I’ve been unable to safely use many chargers due to the risk of battery overheating and potential fire. The fix was first promised for Nov 2024, then delayed to Mar 2025, and now it's April 2025 with no resolution. This ongoing delay has disrupted the ability to use the vehicle as intended. Leaving it on slow chargers for long periods requires the use of alternate transportation frequently. My local dealership has no updates, and Nissan has not offered interim solutions. I’m reporting this as a safety concern due to the risk of overheating and the prolonged lack of remedy.

Purchased the vehicle used in December 2024, as Nissan had a remedy expected by March 2025. It is now June, and no remedy. This has become our primary car, and I'm having to fast charge it regularily to use it as we don't have a charger available at our rental house.

I was just at empire lakewood Nissan dealership in colorado on [xxx] for a few things. During my visit recall p4a17 was performed. I now notice on my drive in to work my heater isn't working now. It just blows cold air through the defroster and not at my feet as the hvac indicator shows. I always have my auto climate feature set to 68 degrees f. It didn't finally come on until I'm almost to work. One of the best things about an electric car is I don't have to wait for the engine/coolant to warm up. My car was always warm by the time I left my neighborhood. Now I'm pulling into work and it's finally warm? what did p4a17 do to my car? information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

Never had an issue with defrost or heat on my 2024 Leaf until I had the recall p4a17 applied. At the last cold snap, the heater worked fine for about 15m and than stopped working, just blowing cold air. I switched it off and waited a bit, switched it back on and it worked again. Called my local Nissan dealer and they said that they are aware of the issue and Nissan working on a fix. Happened again today 11 Feb. Another cold snap, 12f when I left the house. Heater worked fine. Again after about 15m only cold air.

Vehicle randomly shuts down when car is underload traveling at highway speed up an incline and with the climate on. Diagnostics are showing multiple cells that are bad in the main battery manufacturer is stating that it is normal wear and it is normal. I’ve only had the car for 300 miles. It was a previously owned car that was supposed to carry an eight year warranty on the drivetrain and battery. They are not honoring the warranty and the vehicle is dangerous to drive and in fact cannot be driven the situation occurred on three occasions where the vehicle just randomly shuts down on the freeway in the middle of the highway. This is a serious concern that will definitely cause injury or death. I attached photos of two occasions when the battery discharged almost immediately, and the one photo shows on the vehicle was completely disabled. I have more supportive photographs and computer printouts from diagnostics if requested. .

While driving, the car will fluctuate its battery percentage, similar to the report in NHTSA recall 24v-700. While driving down the highway with 67%, it suddenly swung down to 10% displaying a "battery charge is low charge now" warning on the dash. My concern is that if I'd have had less charge after the swing in battery percentage, the car could have turned on it's "turtle mode" at highway speed on open freeway. My local dealer has confirmed that this is a similar concern to the one outlined in Nissan's recall r24b2 (NHTSA 24v-700), and should be resolved with that fix. I feel that this warrants updating the recall to include fluctuations occurring at speed as well. There are no warnings during the percentage swings while driving, only when it swung below the normal threshold for the "battery charge is low. Charge now. " warning did anything come up.

My Nissan Leaf high voltage battery has experienced excessive heating due to normal use of the level 3 chargers. Recently the battery tripped a fault sensor due to the expansion of battery cells due to excessive heating, and the vehicle is no longer drivable. They recommend replacing the battery, but refuse to help with the repairs because the vehicle is 3000 miles over the battery warranty. With the latest recall I believe this is unacceptable, and Nissan isn't even sure they can get a replacement battery. Please help.

Hello. I have a 20/20 Nissan Leaf sv plus. This morning I had a total brake failure for lack of a better term. The e-pedal system, which I always use, suddenly failed while I was driving, showing a warning on screen that said e-pedal system malfunction. . . Please use pedal to break. When I went to use the pedal to break nothing happened except for this horrible sound and feel in the pedal. It barely just finally grabbed a little bit enough to stop before I hit the car ahead of me. But it was nothing short of a total brake failure, both e-pedal and manual pedal. Extremely distressing. What I want to know is how on earth when the e-pedal fails, the normal manual brake pedal doesn't work either. One thing to note, I let it sit almost all day while I was at work, went out and tried it, and it suddenly was working. I drove around the parking lot, turned it off. . . Back on . . And then the e-pedal warning came up again. I then went and purchased a 12 volt battery, as I read in some forums that it's possibly due to that. That also did nothing. Got the same e-pedal malfunction. The main reason I'm letting your agency know, is because I would consider this a total break failure, and completely unacceptable. By sheer luck I was only going about 5 mph when it first happened, and I could still barely break in time. Any help on the federal level. . . Would be great. Thank you so much for your time.

Car was descending towards kailua on the [xxx] on oahu, hi. Dash lit up with warnings and acceleration and brake pedals stopped working. Brake pedal went to the floor with erratic pulsing sensation and very little brake power. Driver drove car into jersey wall to slow and stop vehicle. Battery state was 60% and battery was replaced under warranty about 1 year ago. While waiting for tow, powered on vehicle and symptoms remained as far as I could check. Brakes had no power and had to use ebrake to keep vehicle from rolling. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

Nissan has delayed the fire-safety fix for the 2020 Leaf's (chatdemo) direct current charging defect. The recall was listed in September 2024 and it was supposed to be available in 2024. However, the fix is delayed until March 2025. As a result of this delay, I am unable to use the vehicle as intended, since direct current fast charging is prohibited. This is causing me great inconvenience. Can NHTSA demand Nissan ready this important safety fix in a timely fashion? waiting six months for a recall that will likely only involve software modification is unacceptable! please take action!.

I was traveling home from work at approximately 60mph (speed limit) and I experienced a rapid drop in the state of charge from ~60% to ~25% in 15-20 seconds. I slowed the vehicle to 55mph and it recovered most of the state of charge. When accelerating to 60mph a few miles later I experience the same behavior and was forced to maintain 55mph. I was forced to turn off the electric cabin heater, heated seats, and heated steering wheel as well. I have been able to recreate the issue if the battery cold (outside temperature less than 15f and the vehicle has been outside for 8+ hours), less than 60% charged, and put under high load (going up a steep grade/60mph+) the vehicle will register a battery discharge rate of ~5%/second and continue until the vehicle puts itself into turtle mode, the load is reduced, or I assume, shut off. Battery discharge is "phantom" where the vehicle, when under less load (I. E. Slower/slowing), will return to a higher charge, and when no load (I. E. Stopped), will return to close to the original charge. Depending on how long the high load is maintained it can drastically reduce the real state of charge on the battery. The Nissan dealership identified it as at least one bad battery module, but no fault codes were registered by the vehicle outside of experiencing turtle mode. This issue forces the driver to slow down to reduce load on the vehicle and abrupt speed changes may be required to keep the vehicle operational. This can put the driver into a dangerous situation of being forced to slow down regardless of road conditions or other driver behaviors. If all of the conditions for the battery listed in the first sentence are met, the vehicle will register a rapid battery state of charge decline, it may indicate turtle mode is active (helps reduce battery load), and it will indicate low charge around 10% state of charge. I have personally experienced all of this as the driver, and any assumptions I have made I have identified.

Recall # r24b2 has a projected correction date of March 2025 -just updated from November 2024!! this is totally unacceptable and the NHTSA needs to push for a quicker resolution.

Can’t use fast-charging! I am filing this complaint regarding Nissan’s failure to resolve the DC fast charging issue affecting my 2020 Nissan Leaf. In October 2024, Nissan issued a recall for nearly 24,000 Leaf vehicles due to a fire risk linked to level 3 fast charging. Nissan advised owners to stop using fast charging and promised a software update by November 2024 to fix the issue. It is now March 2025, and Nissan has yet to deliver the promised fix. As a result, I cannot safely use a key feature of my vehicle, which significantly impacts its functionality and usability for long trips. This continued delay has caused major inconvenience and has left owners without a solution for months beyond Nissan’s stated timeline. I am requesting that the NHTSA investigate Nissan’s failure to resolve this issue and hold the company accountable for not providing a timely fix. Nissan should either deliver the promised update or offer alternative solutions for affected owners. Please confirm receipt of this complaint and advise on any further steps I can take.
