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.

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 federal safety agency 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.
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 the federal safety agency 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!
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.

Recall # R24B2 has a projected correction date of MARCH 2025 -just updated from NOVEMBER 2024!! This is totally unacceptable and the federal safety agency needs to push for a quicker resolution.
I have previously had an issue with low resistance of the high voltage battery. This resulted in the car giving a warning code that prevents the restart of the vehicle once it's turned off. This is itself potentially leaves a driver in an unsafe location if they are in an isolated place since you are also unable to charge. I took it to the dealer multiple times and it took them almost a month to determine the vehicle did have an issue, that it needed 8 modules out of around 24 total replaced. These modules were replaced and the vehicle was returned to me. In spite of this the vehicle when under 50% capacity still exhibits erratic range and capacity readouts when under heavy load. The vehicle has been returned to the dealer and is under investigation again because it is unsafe to drive in this condition. There is currently an outstanding recall for high internal resistance when dc charging. This is the same resistance the battery has at all times so to assume it will only be a charging issue and not discharging is disingenuous. Any time a high load, either going into or out of, the battery a high internal resistance will lead to a cascading failure. The only repair is either replacement or the battery or derating the battery. The latter would vastly decrease the capabilities of the vehicle.
Approximately 20% of the time this vehicle is driven, the backup camera displays BLANK. A short term remedy has been to put the vehicle back in Park, exit the vehicle and apply a firm "smack" near the backup camera located on the rear hatch using a closed fist. This tends to temporarily solve the symptom of a BLANK backup camera output until inevitably the same thing happens again several days later during a subsequent drive. This is an active recall, this vehicle has been demonstrating this symptom for at least a year if not more, but even though the recall notice was received around February 2024, there is still no solution posted for us to seek repairs at the Nissan dealer.
Backup camera is not working. I know it’s got an open recall for this issue but it’s taking them so long to replace a cable. Just wanted this on record
I was driving on Interstate Highway H-3, uphill at 55 mph, when the % charge on the high-voltage battery instantaneously dropped from 18 to 5%. The warning light also came on. I was not using the A/C at the time. Over the next 30 seconds or so, the gauge quickly went from 5...4...3...2....1. By dumb luck, as the gauge hit 1%, I hit peak elevation on the mountain pass, and was able to coast in neutral until the freeway starts going downhill. Normally, an 18% charge would have been more than enough to comfortable complete my trip home from where I was on H-3 at the time. A sudden drop in battery % could lead to a cutoff of the motor, which at high-speed on a highway could cause a serious accident. I have subsequently done a battery health test and found the State of Health rating to be 90%. There don't appear to be any bad cells in the battery that would explain the sudden drop while driving. My hunch is that this problem is related to the firmware update I received at the Nissan dealer to address the federal safety agency Campaign Number: 23V494000.
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?
A yellow warning â ï¸ and two cars crashing comes on and during driving the car applies sudden breaking. I took the car in for repairs but no time line was given for repairs or parts. Also even though it's under warranty the dealer and the headquarter would not give me a rental car until the repairs are made.
The contact owns a 2020 Nissan Leaf. The contact stated while driving approximately 50 MPH in the rain, a tree branch fell and struck the passenger’s side of the vehicle causing the air bags to deploy. The contact stated that he lost control of the vehicle when the air bags deployed. Additionally, the vehicle lost steering and braking functionality. There was an unknown warning light illuminated during the failure. The vehicle then lost electrical and motive power and rolled to a complete stop. There was no injury sustained. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic and was still awaiting the needed repairs. Neither a dealer nor the manufacturer had been contacted or notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 12,000.
The contact owns a 2020 Nissan Leaf. The contact stated that the battery gauge was reading incorrectly. The contact stated that while doing a 70-mile roundtrip with 173 miles battery life, the battery gauge indicated the battery level was at 70 miles remaining. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was informed of failure and informed the contact that they were unable to assist. The failure mileage was approximately 10,000.
On several occasions in both rural and suburban environments, regardless of weather temperature outside and during normal forward driving motion, the car reports that the forward camera overheats and immediately renders the collision avoidance system and propilot inoperative. Dash lights picture included.1st overheating occurrence happened on april 15, 2020 and the after 2 more occurrences I took a picture on july 6, 2020. Nissan service refuses to acknowledge this as a safety issue and dismisses the issue when I request service, stating that it is "normal operation."
