On November 5, 2025 our 2020 Nissan LEAF (42,701 miles) experienced rapid loss of battery capacity under normal driving/temperatures (80F.) Vehicle defaulted to "turtle mode" temporarily, an unsafe condition. Were able to replicate condition on subsequent days. Took vehicle to Cedar Park Nissan for evaluation. Technicians concluded that the traction battery had one or more defective cells and recommended battery pack replacement. Vehicle is inoperable. Started complaint with Nissan customer assistance. Dealer and Nissan refused use of a loaner vehicle, despite offering no timeline on repairing/replacing the battery pack. The defect in our vehicle's battery cells may lie in the battery chemistry and be related to issues associated with damage from DC fast charging (recall 24V-700.) Our vehicle has seen little or no fast charging, being charged mostly on Level 1 or Level 2.

the front collision detection system frequently stops working, especially when there is wet weather. The little light on the dash comes on that shows it's not working. ALSO. My car has a serious battery issue that is not related to the fast-charging issue with the current recall. The battery frequently loses charge while driving, and I have to cut trips short and head home in "turtle mode".

See attached document for complaint. I am writing to formally report a serious safety concern regarding my 2020 Nissan Leaf which appears to be affected by a known defect involving the lithium-ion battery and DC fast charging capability. Despite Nissan's acknowledgment of the issue and a recall campaign (R25A3), no effective remedy has been provided. Owners have been advised to avoid using Level 3 fast chargers due to the risk of battery overheating and fire. This restriction significantly compromises the vehicle's utility and safety, especially for long-distance travel. I respectfully request that NHTSA investigate whether Nissan has met its obligations under federal safety regulations and whether further enforcement or expanded recall action is warranted. I am also seeking clarification on my rights as a consumer under current recall protocols.
