Nissan was able to reproduce the issue. Nissan corp should correct the battery and safety issue. So far, they have been professional and does not take any ownership to solve the problem. I request an email after the case was opened and they never send me the email. This issue involve safety and battery not holding charge. The battery is still under defective warranty. Nissan wants to put the vehicle on public road that is not safe. Nhtsa board would agreed with me that Nissan acted irresponsibly should they go forward with not fixing the batter and the car lurching forward issue.

Everyday the service advisor told me that they are waiting for Leaf engineer to look at the problem. They cannot find the problem and this is a non-comment problem. I told the service advicer this is not acceptable. Everyday their excuse still waiting for Leaf specialist to come and look at it and they cannot find the issue.

40 Engine And Engine Cooling problem of the 2011 Nissan Leaf

Failure Date: 06/16/2012

About a month and a half ago, I purchased a 2011 Nissan Leaf from my local dealer. Everything was going great until about a month ago when I was driving on the highway around 20 mph or so when the power suddenly shut off. The entire dashboard instantly went off but the radio+touchscreen remained on. The car came to a crawl and I was able to pull over and restart without any problems. It was a little scary to say the least. I called the dealership where I bought the car from and left a voice mail for the service dept. Since it was Saturday but never received a call back. I kind of shrugged it off that day thinking it might have just been a quirk so I didn't follow up with the dealer. About a week and a half ago, I was pulling into a parking lot going around 10 mph and the same thing happened. I called the dealership and took it in the next day. They've had the car for about a week and said that Nissan told them to drive it and try reproducing the problem. I didn't expect them to reproduce it since it has only happened twice within weeks. As expected, they couldn't reproduce it so I was told that I would have to take the car back since they couldn't do anything about it. I am taking the Leaf back tomorrow to start driving again but definitely have concerns since my wife also drives the car and who knows what she would do in a shut-off while driving situation. Luckily, the past two incidents were not in high speeds and I was able to react quickly. My worst nightmare would be if we got rear ended due to instantly losing power. I have called Nissan directly to let them know about my car but no one has called me back. I assume they were already in touch with the dealer. I don't like the fact that I am being handed the car back at a potential safety risk.
