What 251 owners told NHTSA about the 2019 Nissan Leaf Bev

I have been waiting an entire year for Nissan to resolve the battery issue. I have purchased another house 240 miles away and I need to charge my leaf at least once to move it to my new home. If I fast charge the car it may catch fire and if it does this without the recall being resolved my insurance won't pay for the loss since Nissan has warned the car can not be fast charged. Waiting an entire year is not reasonable. Please force Nissan to resolve the recall by either a software update or battery replacement.

Nissan has issued a recall for the fast charging system on this vehicle in September, 2024. Over a year later, there has been no resolution to the charging issue. I live in a rural area where medical appointments, shopping and family activities are outside of the car's battery range. The lack of a solution has rendered my car useless for most times I would need a vehicle. This is my only car so I often need to carpool or borrow to get places.

I recently purchased a 2019 Nissan Leaf that is currently affected by NHTSA Recall Number 24V-700. This recall was initially issued on September 19, 2024, "instructing customers not to use Level 3 quick charging until the remedy is completed". The initial expectation of a corrective remedy was November 2024, which was later changed "Due to an unexpected delay in the final remedy software development" to Spring 2025. Today is September 22, 2025, over a full year from the date that the recall was initiated, and well beyond "Spring 2025", with no remedy available and I'm unable to safely use Level 3 quick charging. I believe this falls into the category of failing or unable "to remedy this safety recall for your vehicle in a timely manner" and Nissan needs to be held accountable for this safety issue that is preventing me from fully utilizing my vehicle as expected.

I purchased by 2019 Nissan leaf brand new from a Nissan dealership. My electric vehicle is our only vehicle and has been effectively disabled for out of town driving by a safety recall for the traction battery for nearly a year. Nissan continues to be unable to repair or resolve this safety recall and has offered no alternatives other than telling me not to fast charge the vehicle for fear of it catching fire. I have spent countless hours talking to a regional specialist and then being escalated to an executive specialist both of which offer no resolution. I want my vehicle repaired and returned to the originally purchased function or repurchased by Nissan. With the multiple delays in repairing this safety recall up to a year now I have no faith in Nissan to reach any satisfactory repair. I no longer want to own or drive this vehicle and the fault lays entirely with Nissan for their handling of this concern. I fear for my families safety when driving or using this vehicle because of the stated risk of electric battery fire. Nissan continues to have failed to offer any repair or inspection of the battery to determine our risk of a vehicle battery fire.

I am currently using a 2019 NISSAN LEAF electric vehicle and the vehicle is still under NISSAN's 7-year warranty. In September 2024, Nissan sent me a notice advising me to temporarily stop fast charging the vehicle to avoid overheating the battery and possibly exploding and wait for them to fix the vehicle charger. Two months later, Nissan continued to send me a new notice and continued to schedule me until spring 2025. I still trusted and waited for them, in June 25 Nissan sent me a third notice to wait until the third quarter of this 25. Up to now, more than 9 months have passed but they still do not have spare parts to replace my vehicle and I still do not know if Nissan will have spare parts for my vehicle by the end of the third quarter of this 25? in the past 9 months, i have had to spend a lot of time every time i need to charge my car. just because i don't have my own house so i have to take my car to the charging station and every time i charge i have to wait for about 5 hours. i don't understand what nissan wants now? ◦

Fast charging recall issued almost a year ago and Nissan still has no fix for it.

I took my car in for a few recalls and was informed that the Manufacturer Recall Number R24B2/NHTSA Recall Number 24V-700 fix was not available. The recall has been in effect for 1 year now and there is still no remedy. This is affecting the ability to use the car to its fullest due to the safety risk associated with Level 3 quick charging. If I was to quick charge the car it could result in damage to the battery and even fire. I cannot sell the car either due to the recall. Please have Nissan make this right. They need to fix the issue or initiate a buyback.

My 2019 Nissan Leaf SV is under recall R24B2 for battery overheating risk during DC fast charging. Nissan has instructed owners not to use Level 3 fast charging until a remedy is available, but no fix has been provided for almost one year with continued delay in repair promise dates. Yesterday, I was unable to use a fast charger as needed, which forced me to wait several hours at a slower Level 2 charging station. This delay made it impossible to drive my Leaf for a planned Labor Day weekend trip to Amelia Island. Instead, we had to use my daughter’s car, since the Leaf could not meet our travel needs without fast charging. This ongoing situation shows significant loss of use and hardship. Fast charging is an essential function of an electric vehicle, and without it the car cannot perform as originally marketed. The prolonged lack of remedy (nearly a year since the recall was issued) is unacceptable and has left my vehicle restricted and unreliable. I request NHTSA take action to ensure Nissan provides a timely remedy or interim solution for affected Leaf owners. Attached is letter also sent to Nissan.
