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 is a blank screen or pink screen.

12/30/2023 ODI #11562746.0

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.

The current recall is over 1 year old and there has been no response from Nissan on Remedy of Battery Recall. The Nissan Dealer and Nissan Help has been unresponsive.

This vehicle has recall with fast charging component. When we purchased this pre-owned car, the remedy date for this recall was given as November 2024. Hence we purchased this vehicle even though there was a recall. Now the remedy date on the website shows as March 2025. Because of which we are not able to use this vehicle to go office where we could have charged the vehicle using fast-EV charger in office parking. It is inconvenient for us.

The vehicle has developed fluctuating range estimates when going up steep grades on the highway. I was traveling at about 72 mph on a 5% grade with a 50% battery charge and a 60-mile range estimate. The range instantly started to drop from 50% to 40%, then 20%, then 10%. The car then entered what is called “turtle mode,” which limits the top speed to 20 mph. I managed to get the car off the highway onto an off-ramp, and then the battery percentage returned to 50% and turtle mode was deactivated. I was told that the battery pack has a weak cell, and under heavy load, the car’s software detects the lowest voltage in the battery pack, triggering the turtle mode. This is a dangerous situation, as the car loses acceleration and can suddenly drop from 70 mph to 30 mph, putting the driver at ris

Having issues with the back up camera it will randomly not work, showing a black screen instead of rearview. Other times the image is excessively dark compared to other surround camera views or has horizontal lines that interfere with view. Car is available for inspection. I have reported to the dealer multiple times. They have not been able to replicate. The problem is intermittent, dealer has not been able to replicate. Asked that I take video when it occurs which I have done. No warning lights or lamp or consistent pattern to warn when the issue will occur. Most recent incident noted below.

I bought this vehicle in june of 2023 a 2019 Nissan leaf from hgreg Nissan I recieved notification of some recalls one was fixed the other 2 will be fixed soon. The latest one is the battery that is draining very fast, and it is now a recall with no solution, unable to use a fast charger as the car may catch on fire, I spend an average of 7 hours charging the car in a regular charger weekly. I feel that I am paying for a defective product and the solution keeps on getting delayed. I am considering hiring an attorney to try to find a suitable solution for this situation that it is affecting my daily living as the miles I am getting on a full charge is about 130 miles and there are not enough chargers around giving me tremendous anxiety and stress. I do not have the means to even trade in th

I was driving on the highway and sped up slightly to get into the passing lane. Suddenly, the dashboard changed to “Service EV system no power” and the car completely dropped out of acceleration, de-accelerated and lost power. With no warning. With the momentum I already had, I was able to get to the shoulder, but if anyone had been behind me, I would have been hit.

More than a year later, and Nissan still has no remedy available for recall 24V-700, posing a fire risk to consumers. In what universe would a software remedy take a major auto manufacturer more than a year to develop? NHTSA has the ability to regulate and safeguard the public. Instead they have become known as a toothless, ineffective exemplar of government brokenness. Why?

For my Nissan Leaf 2019, I used DC fast charger to charge up while returning home from another town, with battery below 8%. It charged and got home and plugged in my Level2 charger overnight. In morning it displayed a “Service EV System” error and became undriveable. It would not go into Drive or Reverse. It will go into Neutral or Parking only. When I got it towed to Dealership, they cleared the code and gave back the car as drivable. But when I plugged in Level2 charger overnight, next morning same issue occured. Now Dealership did full diagnostics and tells me the car needs PDM (Power Distribution Module) replaced. Nissan previously issued Service Campaign P9351 for this exact issue, but my VIN is not included. I believe my vehicle has the same defective PDM and poses a safety r

There was no incident...but I am reporting the fact that Nissan has not provided a remedy and the recall has been in place over a year. I and other owners of affected Nissan Leafs are not able to use the car to its full capacity. I strongly recommend NHTSA encourage/force Nissan to deliver a remedy and, indeed, compensation for the fact that these cars could not be use for long-distance driving for over a year (and counting).
