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.

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!

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.
