2020 Nissan Leaf

When my battery range falls below ~125 miles, I have extreme range fluctuations especially at freeway speeds with any hills. Because I drive over a mountain range to commute to work, I can't safely drive the car. This is a known issue related to the recall from 2024 that has not been fixed. When I first encountered the issue in December 2025, I did not know about the recall. I took it to the Nissan dealer (Stevens Creek Nissan) and they did not tell me that there was a recall on the battery and that I shouldn't fast charge. At the time, I was fast charging to get the range safely above 120 miles so that I could make it home without complete battery failure.

I have been waiting since September 2024 to use my level 3 charger port again. I can't safely use it without a risk of fire severely limiting the cars use and range. On top of this my main battery was tested at the Nissan Dealer November 2025 and needs replaced under warranty. It will rapidly lose charge when on the highway potentially leaving me stranded on the side of a busy road. I only have about 30% usable battery and cant Level 3 charge without risk of fire. I have been waiting almost 2 years now and feel Nissan has exceeded a reasonable amount of time for both repairs. This is my only car and I cant continue driving it like this. I was informed of the charging issue by recall notice and started seeing the battery issue Summer 2025. If they ever do fix this, I'm going to have a hard time trusting driving it on the highway. Nissan still can't give me an ETA for the replacement battery. I've been waiting 6 months and counting now.

There has been a major battery recall which has not been resolved for 18 months, since the recall was issued. I have not beenable to drive this car any substatial distance on the freeway since October 2024. I have asked Nissan for a buyback of this car due to this major problem that still goes unresolved.

The contact owns a 2020 Nissan Leaf. The contact received a phone call advising to take the vehicle to the dealer to be repaired under NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V700000 (Electrical System). The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where a first-phase software update was performed as an interim repair, and the contact was advised to use quick charging after driving the vehicle for a limited amount of time. The contact followed the dealer's instructions and returned to the dealer, and was provided a gift card. The contact used the Level 3 quick charging after the repair. The contact later received a message not to use the Level 3 quick charging feature. The contact was confused and contacted the manufacturer, who was unable to confirm whether the interim recall repair was performed. Upon contacting the NHTSA Hotline, the contact was informed that the VIN was still under recall and that the remedy was not yet available. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The contact had not experienced a failure.

I was issued a recall notice (24V-700 R24B2) over 18 months ago that the CHAdeMO charger could cause a fire. There was no immediate fix. As of today, I got another notice saying that no fix is available yet; they are working on it. This is ridiculous and it has limited the use of my car and has affected the resale value.

Nissan has failed to provide a repair in a reasonable timeframe for recall 24V-700. It was issues in September 2024, with a remedy expected by Nov 2024 per Nissan. As of March 2026, no remedy is available. The recall instructs to not use level 3 charging indefinitely, which substantially impairs the vehicles functionality. Nissan is attempting to buyback the vehicle under Kansas lemon law rather than fix the defect, and the offer is inadequate per Kansas Lemon Law.

This vehicle is subject to Safety Recall 24V-700 (Manufacturer Recall R24B2) due to a defect in the lithium-ion battery that can cause a fire during Level 3 DC Fast Charging. Since the initial notice, I have received four separate recall communications from the manufacturer, yet as of March 2026, no permanent remedy has been provided. The manufacturer’s only "interim" solution is an instruction to refrain from using the Level 3 DC Fast Charging (CHAdeMO) feature. This has effectively disabled a primary advertised function of the vehicle and creates a substantial safety risk should the port be used. This defect has rendered the vehicle unsellable on the secondary market and significantly impairs its daily utility, as I am unable to use charging infrastructure at my place of employment. The manufacturer continues to delay the final remedy with "coming soon" notifications, leaving me with an unsafe and substantially devalued asset for over a year.

The vehicle has had an recall campaigns needing VIN-specific checks for over 12 months with no remedy. The recall campaigns needing VIN-specific checks represents a serious and dangerous fault that makes the vehicle unfit for purpose. Nissans lack of resolution to the problem has serious and severe consequences.

Nissan issued a recall on the ev battery in September 2024 because risk of fire if the quick charge feature is used but has failed to remedy the problem as of March 2026 and only says maybe the solution will come in this calendar year. This is unacceptable to cripple the full use of a vehicle. It takes all day to fully charge the car by slow charge compared to one hour in quick charge. Not fixing this problem risks people quick charging vehicles despite the risk.

Probably related to vehicle battery recall (that Nissan doesn't have a solution for yet), but when the battery gets beneath 30% it drops suddenly to 0%. I lost propulsion on the highway and it was dangerous. Going at a much lower speed than traffic it was difficult to work my way over to the right emergency lane. Even though my battery had recovered back to 25% after I stopped, the accelerator pedal would not move the car.

In December 2025 my EV battery level began fluctuating wildly while driving, even going to zero while driving on an interstate. I took it to my local dealer on 12/29/2026. Nissan confirmed that the EV battery was failing and recommended replacement. The battery is still under warranty. Nissan ordered the battery on January 6, 2026. It is now March 5th, and the battery has not shipped. Nissan has not provided any timeline for shipment of the battery and says they will not provide that information. My car has been undriveable for nine weeks.

Nissan issued a recall more than a year ago regarding the safety issue with the Lithium-ion Battery. It has not provided an acceptable solution as of yet. The defect is limiting the ability to use the vehicle as intended and it is a fire risk.

The vehicle is subject to an open safety recall related to the high-voltage battery. According to the recall notice, owners are instructed not to use Level 3 DC fast charging due to the risk of rapid battery heating and potential fire. At this time, there is no remedy available, and no estimated timeline has been provided. Because of this, the dealer is unable to perform any repair. The charging restriction significantly limits normal vehicle use, especially for longer trips that rely on DC fast charging. This condition creates an ongoing safety concern, as the vehicle contains a known battery-related defect with no available corrective action. The issue has been acknowledged by the manufacturer through an official safety recall, but the lack of a remedy leaves the risk unresolved.

The main traction battery is prone to overheating, risk of fire, or excessive lithium deposits causing electrical resistance, particularly during DC (Level 3) fast charging. I am unable to use advertised fast-charging features. The range of the car and it's usability is affected. The recall mentions a "software-only" remedy, but that does not fix the physical defect. After more than a year the recall status is still "remedy not available". I have contacted Nissan and they just state there is still no remedy at this time. Recall R24B2, 24V-700.

To Whom It May Concern, I am submitting a complaint regarding an unresolved safety recall affecting my vehicle: Vehicle: 2020 Nissan Leaf My vehicle is subject to an active safety recall related to the lithium-ion battery and DC fast-charging (Level 3 / CHAdeMO) capability. Nissan has advised owners not to use fast charging due to a risk of battery overheating and potential fire. Despite the recall being open for an extended period, Nissan has not provided a completed remedy for my vehicle. My local Nissan dealer has informed me that no repair or software update is currently available, and Nissan has not provided a definitive timeline for resolution. As a result: • A core advertised feature of the vehicle (DC fast charging) is unusable • The vehicle’s utility and value are significantly impaired • The recall remains open with no practical path to completion I am concerned that Nissan’s prolonged inability to remedy this safety defect leaves owners with an unsafe or materially compromised vehicle for an unreasonable length of time. I respectfully request that NHTSA review Nissan’s handling of this recall and take appropriate action to make sure a timely and effective remedy for affected owners. Thank you for your attention

The high-voltage battery on my 2020 Nissan Leaf is subject to Recall 25V655. The recall notice states that the battery cells can develop excessive lithium deposits, which increases electrical resistance and can cause rapid battery heating during Level 3 fast charging. Nissan instructs owners not to use Level 3 charging at all until a “remedy” is available. The issue is that the remedy described by Nissan is not an actual repair of the battery defect. Nissan states it will install software that monitors for “state-of-charge fluctuation” and, if detected, will prevent the vehicle from restarting or recharging in order to avoid a thermal incident. This means the defect inside the battery cells is still present, and the car may disable itself if the defect begins to appear. The recall materials also state there is no warning before overheating occurs. This creates multiple safety concerns: • The underlying battery defect remains uncorrected. • The vehicle can become immobilized (unable to restart or recharge) if the software detects the condition. • Loss of Level 3 charging capability affects the ability to travel safely or plan charging when needed. • A battery fire risk exists during Level 3 charging if the defect is not detected in time. Nissan’s documents state that the software is meant only to prevent the “progression” of a thermal incident, not to repair the defective battery. I am concerned that my vehicle contains a known hazardous defect that has not been physically repaired and that the software-only response is inadequate to make sure safety. I am filing this complaint so NHTSA is aware that the remedy being offered does not address the internal battery defect itself and may leave owners exposed to continued safety and reliability risks.

Recall first announced September 19th, 2024; Nissan has been preparing a 'software' fix for a hardware problem for the last year and almost a half, with no end in sight. I am requesting NHTSA to step in and require immediate action from the manufacturer so that owners can use the full features of their purchased vehicle. NHTSA ID: 24V-700 NISSAN ID: R24B2

My vehicle is subject to safety recall R24B2. I was notified in 2024, and there is still no final remedy available. Nissan instructed owners to avoid Level 3 fast charging. The recall has been open approximately one year with no resolution.

I am unable to use my 2020 Nissan Leaf because of the recall (R24B2) on the battery preventing fast charging. My child has the vehicle and now lives in an apartment and there is no place to plug in my car overnight. So the only option for my child is to fast charge it. I'm frustrated that this recall is almost 1 and a half years old and there is still no remedy.

NHTSA ID: 24V-700 Was announced September 2024. It is now January 2026 without a fix nor can I fast charge, preventing me from using this car for daily travel. What is NHTSA’s recommendation for this recall? Nissan keeps extending the date for a fix.

The reverse camera is consistently not connected and shows a pink, gray, or distorted image when in reverse. A few months ago, it would intermittently do this and then resolve itself. I mentioned this at the Nissan service center during our maintenance check up and because it couldn't be replicated, they would charge me just to complete a diagnostic report. I declined especially since it fixed itself. For the last several weeks, it hasn't been functioning correctly which makes seeing my surroundings less safe. I've reviewed [XXX] and see that other Nissan Leafs in our date range require repair, but the recall is not listed for our vin number. I'm worried about our safety due to the failure of the reverse camera and would like support in a resolution as we no longer have the vehicle under warranty.

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".

There is a recall for my fast charging but it's been 2 years and they still no fixing the problem. The company have to take action. Please
