2019 NISSAN LEAF
Filed May 14, 2026
Nissan issued a recall notice well over a year ago about batteries catching fire when using the DC fast charging port. They still have not offered a fix. I can't travel long distances with the car since slower level 2 charging is impractical (8 hrs to full recharge). If I sell the vehicle with this limitation, I will have do to so at a substantial loss, so I cannot replace the car. I want a fix, compensation. or a buy-back. I called the local dealership today and they can't even offer a…

2022 NISSAN LEAF
Filed May 12, 2026
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 “remedy” is available. The issue is that the remedy described by Nissan is not an actual repair of the battery defect.
