My 2019 Nissan Leaf has a charging safety issue that prevents safe use of Level 3 DC fast charging. Nissan has instructed owners not to use Level 3 fast charging because of a potential battery overheating condition. Nissan representatives stated that engineers are working on a remedy, but no repair is currently available. Level 3 charging is a normal and necessary charging method for this vehicle. Being unable to safely use fast charging significantly limits the safe operation and intended use of the vehicle. In addition, I have experienced concerns with slower charging as well. Nissan advised me to have the dealership diagnose the issue while also stating that engineering is still developing a fix. Because the manufacturer has acknowledged a charging safety concern while no repair is currently available, I am submitting this complaint so the issue is documented and reviewed by NHTSA for safety implications.
