| The problem is the battery, we where told by nissan that there would be a slow loss of capacity and up to 20% loss at 5 years. this is only in hot climates like arizona, tx and ca. the car should have had a battery cooling system. *tr now after pay $40,000 for the car in the first year my driving range is down so much in my second year the car will be worthless to drive or sell. *tr | |||

| About a month and a half ago, i purchased a 2011 nissan leaf from my local dealer. everything was going great until about a month ago when i was driving on the highway around 20 mph or so when the power suddenly shut off. the entire dashboard instantly went off but the radio+touchscreen remained on. the car came to a crawl and i was able to pull over and restart without any problems. it was a little scary to say the least. i called the dealership where i bought the car from and left a voice mail for the service dept. since it was saturday but never received a call back. i kind of shrugged it off that day thinking it might have just been a quirk so i didn't follow up with the dealer. about a week and a half ago, i was pulling into a parking lot going around 10 mph and the same thing happened. i called the dealership and took it in the next day. they've had the car for about a week and said that nissan told them to drive it and try reproducing the problem. i didn't expect them to reproduce it since it has only happened twice within weeks. as expected, they couldn't reproduce it so i was told that i would have to take the car back since they couldn't do anything about it. i am taking the leaf back tomorrow to start driving again but definitely have concerns since my wife also drives the car and who knows what she would do in a shut-off while driving situation. luckily, the past two incidents were not in high speeds and i was able to react quickly. my worst nightmare would be if we got rear ended due to instantly losing power. i have called nissan directly to let them know about my car but no one has called me back. i assume they were already in touch with the dealer. i don't like the fact that i am being handed the car back at a potential safety risk. *tr | |||
