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 sti
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.

The high-voltage battery on my 2020 Nissan Leaf is subject to Recall 25V655.

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.

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 surroun
Nissan still has not provided a remedy for recall number Nissan recall R24B2 NHTSA 24V700000. This prevents me from being able to access the full use of the car because I cannot fast charge without risk of damaging the EV battery. Just last week I had to borrow a gas car and pay for gas in order to take a road trip. This is unacceptable. We should have a remedy by now.
