The vehicle has an open recall that could cause it to catch fire. I purchased this vehicle depending on fast charging since I live in an apartment and have no where to charge at work. I have spoken to Nissan about this and requested a repurchase. Nissan asked me to wait for the recall fix and continue to drive a car that I canât even charge with my lifestyle. This has been an open issue for over 1 year and there is no fix in sight. At this point I just donât have transportation since I canât fast charge. I want Nissan to repurchase my car with this defective battery Source: NHTSA ODI #11709205 · tap to collapse

The high-voltage battery on my 2022 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 âremedyâ 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 âstate-of-charge fluctuationâ 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. Nissanâs documents state that the software is meant only to prevent the âprogressionâ 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 ensure 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.

Our Nissan Leaf experiences dangerous behavior while driving on the freeway. After approximately 23 miles of driving, the car suddenly displays a slippery road sign (The day is dry, no rain) and significantly reduces speed on its own. Attempting to accelerate has no effect. To ensure safety, we activate the hazard lights and pull the car to the side. Only after turning off the car and restarting it does the issue resolve temporarily. This situation poses an extreme risk, as any nearby vehicle could collide with ours during this sudden slowdown. Safety Concerns: Given the severity of this issue, we are genuinely frightened to drive the car daily. Unfortunately, we have limited alternatives for commuting to work.

I applied the breaks but they did not work - in fact, the car seemed to accelerate. I heard the collision alarm sound but the automatic emergency braking system did not engage or stop the car, so I crashed into the car in front of me. Air bag deployed and then the car filled with smoke from the batteries but I couldn't get out as the power locks didn't work or allow me to open the door.

On my 2022 Leaf I use the epedal system, which is supposed to operate as a one-pedal driving, meaning when you the car is in epedal mode, you can drive the car with one pedal. When you press the accelerator the car will move forward and when you let go of accelerator the car will come to a stop. However, sometimes the car does NOT come to a stop and it will coast as if the epedal is not engaged. This happens regardless of the batteries SOC (state of charge), weather, angle of the road, temperature, or road condition. When epedal is engaged and you lift off the accelerator, the car should always come to a stop, and it doesn't. This is dangerous because there have been many times where I have ran a stop sign or almost hit the car in front of me because I've had to slam on the brakes at the last seconds. Sometimes the epedal system works great and the car will come to a stop, but many times it does not. The braking should always be consistent and it is not, making this feature dangerous to use because you can easily hit the car/something in front of you. I know how the system works because this is my second Nissan Leaf. In my 2018 Nissan Leaf, the epedal was consistent with the braking; it always braked, no matter the situation. The 2022 does not, and it's dangerous. I brought the car to the Nissan dealer and of course they can't find anything wrong with it. There are several others I've found online that have the same issue: epedal braking is NOT consistent and it should be. There are no warning lamps or messages that come up on the dash. I'm asked to provide a date, but this happens every day. Every day the braking is inconsistent. his has been happening since the first day I bought the car in November of 2021.

I had an accident that totaled the Leaf the day after I bought it. It was dark. The road was more congested than usual and a dog ran out into the road. According to eye witnesses, three vehicles including two Honda SUVs (the first vehicle that stated the whole mess didn't stay) managed to brake to a complete stop without rear ending one another. The Nissan Leaf could not brake quickly enough and I rear ended a CR-V with enough force that the Leaf airbags deployed and I could tell the Leaf was totaled at the scene. The emergency braking system never engaged and the brake pedal felt the same from beginning to end. I was not tailgating. The Leaf felt enough like my 2020 Kia Niro that I made the mistake of not being more cautious with a vehicle that was new to me. Bottom line: I expected the Leaf to behave in an emergency the same as a vehicle I had been driving without incident for 18 months and it didn't. My 2020 Kia Niro does not have emergency braking and I hadn't planned to test it out with the Leaf. Being dark, I saw the instant the vehicle in front of me slammed on their brakes and slammed on mine, but it felt the Leaf wasn't slowing down fast enough. Not nearly as quickly as the Honda.

Dear National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), I am submitting a formal safety complaint regarding my 2022 Nissan Leaf due to repeated and sudden battery failure that has created unsafe driving conditions. Over the past several months, my vehicle has experienced severe and unpredictable battery drain. Even after a full charge (approximately 100 miles indicated), the battery rapidly depletes to 20â30 miles or less within a short distance. On multiple occasions, the vehicle has lost charge unexpectedly, leaving me stranded and requiring assistance to safely return home. This issue presents a serious safety concern, as the sudden loss of battery power can occur while driving, increasing the risk of being stranded in unsafe locations or traffic conditions. I took the vehicle to an authorized Nissan service center (Bommarito Nissan), where it remained for several days for diagnosis. During this time, I was informed that the issue was being evaluated and that replacement of several battery modules or possibly the entire battery pack might be required. However, after internal review, the issue was dismissed and attributed solely to âweather conditions,â and no repair or replacement was performed. This explanation is not acceptable, as the same issue has occurred in normal and mild weather conditions. The problem persists and continues to impact the safe operation of the vehicle. Despite multiple requests, I have not received a complete diagnostic report or a clear technical explanation from Nissan. The vehicle remains unreliable and unsafe to operate due to the risk of sudden battery depletion. I respectfully request that NHTSA review this matter as a potential safety defect related to battery performance and loss of propulsion in an electric vehicle. Thank you for your attention to this serious safety concern.

Nissan Recall R25C8 (NHTSA ID: 25V655), Incomplete, remedy not available Primary Issue: High-voltage battery fire risk during Level 3 (DCFC) charging due to excessive lithium deposits. I have been told by Nissan not to use Level 3 fast charging. This has significantly impaired the utility of my vehicle due to: - Limited Range/Utility: Without fast charging, I can't use the car for trips beyond its immediate single-charge radius, basically turning a long-range EV into a local-only car. The proposed software may limit charging or prevent the vehicle from restarting if it detects a dangerous condition, rather than permanently fixing the defect. - Time Loss: I can't charge at home unless (only overnight & if weather permits) I run a cable out of my apartment window, across the grass & sidewalk for a trickle charge (Level 1). Otherwise I have to drive to a Level 2 charger & wait many hours to charge up. This is significantly longer, makes it impossible to quickly 'top off' as advertised. For comparison: L3 (DCFC) gets me at least 15% in about 15 minutes (60% per/hour); L2 only gets 11% per/hour. L1 only gets 2% per/hour. Without DCFC this car is almost useless. - Diminished Value: Nissan sold me a $38,000 car & I'm concerned that a software-only 'fix' that may throttle charging speeds or simply disable the car if it detects heat will permanently reduce the vehicle's market value. I actually expected to keep this car for the rest of my life, but the CHAdeMO system (which appears is becoming un-supported) that also lacks a cooling system, makes that very unlikely. - Impact to income due to part-time employment that requires travel, which the LEAF was capable of doing with DCFC stops. Now, I need to rent a vehicle for these events. Purchased Cherry Hill Nissan March 11, 2022 2/3/2026: Nissan Service appointment.

The high-voltage battery on my 2022 Nissan Leaf SL+ is subject to Recall NHTSA ID: 25V-655. 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 âremedyâ is available. The issue is that the remedy described by Nissan is not an actual repair of the battery defect and has been significantly delayed, with no remedy provided for the loss of use of my vehicle, due to the dangers of the battery, which is still covered by warranty. Nissan states it will install software that monitors for âstate-of-charge fluctuationâ 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. Nissanâs documents state that the software is meant only to prevent the âprogressionâ 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 ensure safety.

The high-voltage battery on my 2022 Nissan Leaf SL+ is subject to Recall NHTSA ID: 25V-655. 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 âremedyâ is available. The issue is that the remedy described by Nissan is not an actual repair of the battery defect and has been significantly delayed, with no remedy provided for the loss of use of my vehicle, due to the dangers of the battery, which is still covered by warranty. Nissan states it will install software that monitors for âstate-of-charge fluctuationâ 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.

I bought my vehicle used, in May 2025. Then, in October (if not earlier), a safety recall was issued relating to the fast charging of the EV battery. This recall tells me that Iâm not to use the CHAdeMO charging port due to battery fire risk. Now, almost 6 months later, there still isnât a remedy available. Not being able to fast charge puts a huge restriction on where Iâm able to go in my car. NO ONE wants to sit around for hours waiting for their car battery to recharge in order to get to their destination. I have contacted Nissanâs corporate office to ask if they would offer me a loaner vehicle for my longer distance drives, but they said no and didnât have any other assistance to offer until the remedy is available. I would like to know, are they given any sort of deadline to remedy such a HUGE safety recall, or what most people would consider a DEFECT? If so, what kind of penalty do they face if this deadline isnât met? If not, is there anything I can do to hold them accountable for selling me a defective Electric Vehicle?

My 2022 Nissan Leaf (VIN ending 558192) is affected by recall R25C8 (Lithium-ion Battery Expansion / Fire Risk from Quick Charging). The recall, announced September 30, 2025, requires a software update to the battery management system. Nissan has advised not to use the CHAdeMO DC fast charging port until remedied. No remedy is currently available, and the software update has not been deployed. This defect substantially impairs the vehicle's use, value, and safety for its intended purpose (long-distance travel), restricting it to local driving only. The delay has caused significant loss of use. We previously contacted Nissan on October 7, 2025 (Case #55896895) with no resolution. Contacted them again February 18 2026 (Case #56332493), with no resolution. This is ongoing as of February 2026. Source: NHTSA ODI #11718874 · tap to collapse

Received recall notice in September/October 2025 that the lithium battery of my 2022 Nissan Leaf SV Plus could catch on fire if fast charged, creating a serious safety hazard. This prevents use of car on out of town trips, or fast charging in town when needed. This puts myself and others at risk of injury by fire and limits my ability to fully use my car to the extent that I was able when I purchased it from the dealership. I continue to be informed by the dealer that a software repair is being worked on, but no date for repair availability, nor confirmation that a software repair will allow me to take the car out of town for fast charging without slowing or shutting down of the system. No warning lamps have appeared, and the dealer has not examined my car. Source: NHTSA ODI #11718131 · tap to collapse

The recall notice says 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 âremedyâ 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 âstate-of-charge fluctuationâ 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. Nissanâs documents state that the software is meant only to prevent the âprogressionâ 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 ensure safety.

The vehicle is subject to a manufacturer safety recall related to a fire risk involving the high-voltage battery system. After receiving the recall notice, I brought the vehicle to an authorized dealer for evaluation. The dealer confirmed that there is currently no permanent remedy available for this recall and no estimated timeline for when a corrective repair will be available. The vehicle was returned to me without a corrective repair being performed. Since the recall, the vehicleâs charging capability and usable driving range have been significantly reduced compared to normal operation. Fast-charging functionality is no longer reliably available, resulting in longer charging times and a materially decreased effective range. This condition persists and is not attributable to normal battery degradation or driving habits. The vehicle was purchased new in reliance on its advertised driving range and charging capability, which were necessary to meet predictable daily transportation requirements. Due to the post-recall charging limitations and reduced effective range, the vehicle can no longer be relied upon to perform as originally intended. The active safety recall restricts authorized dealers from selling, leasing, or transferring the vehicle until a permanent remedy is available. No remedy or definitive timeline has been provided. Continued operation of a vehicle subject to a fire-related recall without corrective repair, combined with reduced charging capability and range, raises concerns regarding recall adequacy, charging availability, trip completion, and continued safe operation.

My Nissan Leaf 2022 Electric Vehicle(VIN: [XXX] ) is subject to Safety Recall 25V-655 (Manufacturer Recall Number R25C8) dated September 30, 2025. As per the recall notice, the vehicle suffers from 'excessive lithium deposits within battery cells' which can cause 'rapid heating of the battery' and result in a battery fire. The manufacturer has officially instructed me NOT to use Level 3 Quick Charging (CHAdeMO) until a remedy is completed. This restriction substantially impairs the use and value of the vehicle, as it eliminates the ability to use the car for long-distance travel, which is its primary intended purpose. It has been over 3 months since this recall was issued, and the status remains 'Remedy not yet available.' The manufacturer has failed to provide a timely repair for this fire risk. I am currently driving a vehicle that is a known fire hazard and has restricted utility. I request an immediate resolution.

Nissan has informed Leaf owners that we cannot use DCFC to charge the car, there is a danger of fire from an overheating battery. This poorly designed battery management system severely limits the distance one can travel in the car. It has become an expensive short commute vehicle! Nissan offered to "repurchase" my car. The offer had over $27K deductions for milage and repayment of my $10k lien I would have to pay Nissan $2,800 for them to take the car back! Nissan should take full responsibility for the known recall and poor engineering. Source: NHTSA ODI #11709798 · tap to collapse

The high-voltage battery on my 2022 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 âremedyâ 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 âstate-of-charge fluctuationâ 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. Nissanâs documents state that the software is meant only to prevent the âprogressionâ 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 ensure 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. This risk has been known for 3 months with no fix and no options to fix from Dealerships or calling Nissan directly. It is a safety issue not just for my family but for others due to the electrical fire risk. Thank you Source: NHTSA ODI #11708357 · tap to collapse

Nissan sent me a recall notice in October 2025 and told me not to fast charge the vehicle. To date the recall has not been implemented. This makes the car unuseable for longer distances where I need to fast charge. I have also heard that EVGO is blocking this car model from even attempting to charge, regardless of if the car is affected or not by this recall. Source: NHTSA ODI #11707135 · tap to collapse

I am filing this complaint regarding an open and unresolved safety recall on my Nissan LEAF (NHTSA Recall No. 25V-655). Nissan has instructed owners not to use Level 3 (DC fast) charging via the CHAdeMO connector due to a risk of rapid battery overheating and potential fire. As of today, no remedy is available. This recall renders my vehicle unusable for its intended and advertised purpose. I purchased this vehicle specifically for frequent long-distance travel between Seattle, WA and Vancouver, BC to visit family. Safe and reliable access to DC fast charging is essential for this use case. Without fast-charging capability, the vehicle cannot complete these trips in a practical or safe manner. As a direct result of this unresolved recall and Nissanâs instruction not to fast-charge, I am unable to use my vehicle for these trips and have been forced to rent a car at my own expense. This is not a minor inconvenience; it is a material loss of functionality and utility. The vehicle is effectively limited to short, local driving only, which is not how it was marketed or how I purchased it to be used. Nissan has acknowledged the safety defect but has provided no timeline for a fix. The ongoing delay places an unreasonable burden on owners and leaves me with a vehicle that cannot be used as intended for an indefinite period. I am requesting that NHTSA review this matter for timely remedy enforcement and assess whether Nissanâs delay in providing a repair constitutes a failure to address a safety defect in a reasonable timeframe. Owners should not be left with a vehicle that cannot safely perform its core, advertised function while bearing ongoing financial harm. Source: NHTSA ODI #11706962 · tap to collapse

I own a 2022 Nissan LEAF (VIN [XXX] ) that is subject to a Nissan safety recall advising owners not to use DC fast charging due to risk of battery overheating and fire. DC fast charging is a core function of an electric vehicle. Nissanâs instruction to avoid fast charging effectively removes this capability. In addition, some public charging networks have restricted or blocked Nissan LEAF fast charging, further limiting safe operation. Nissan has not provided a permanent repair. A proposed software update does not address the underlying physical battery risk and does not restore full charging functionality. As a result, the vehicle cannot be used as intended, and owners are left with reduced charging capability and increased safety uncertainty. I believe this defect presents an ongoing safety risk and warrants regulatory review.

In the contract I signed to purchase my vehicle, I was stated to have access to tier 3 charging. I am unable to do that currently, and I do not live close to a tier 2 charger, so I am forced to use my tier 3 charging. They say not to do that, so I am left with a vehicle that I am unable to use, and have been for months. I iniated a buyback, but they declined it. Source: NHTSA ODI #11705670 · tap to collapse

The vehicle is affected by manufacturer recall R25C8 (NHTSA 25V-655), which identifies a risk of battery overheating and potential fire during fast charging. The recall instructs owners not to use Level 3 (DC fast) charging because the vehicleâs battery system may enter a failsafe mode or experience thermal issues under high-load charging. This significantly restricts normal operation of the vehicle, especially for longer-distance travel, and raises concerns about battery safety during charging. The issue is ongoing, and no permanent remedy is currently available. The restriction on fast charging reduces the vehicleâs intended functionality and creates uncertainty about the safety of the high-voltage battery system. No collision or fire has occurred, but the condition remains unresolved. The vehicle remains available for inspection upon request. Source: NHTSA ODI #11704523 · tap to collapse

Greetings My vehicle has approximately 63k and the entire battery pack has already been replaced one time. Approximately 3-4 weeks ago I got a letter informing me that I can no longer fast charge and there is no remedy for this at this time. I work 1 hour away from my home, so I haven't been able to get to work in weeks. I asked for a buy back and they stated no. I asked Nissan's Consumer Affairs for a rental and they said no. I asked the dealership where I purchased the vehicle for a rental and they said no. It is important to note that providing a rental is part of the recall or this is my understanding. It is also important to note that I have an extended warranty for this vehicle which should also include a rental. I pay almost $600 a month for this hunk of junk, and I cannot understand how this is acceptable in any way. Please advise. Source: NHTSA ODI #11704237 · tap to collapse
