A 2022 Nissan Leaf purchased from a dealership in San Diego, California, began experiencing significant battery and charging system problems shortly after delivery. The owner encountered repeated charging failures, making it impossible to maintain a consistent charge, which severely impacted the vehicle’s performance and reliability.
The first service visit was prompted when the vehicle failed to charge properly, resulting in unexpected power loss. Although the dealership inspected the vehicle, they could not identify the underlying issue. The problem persisted, leading the owner to bring the vehicle back for further repairs just weeks later.
During the second visit, technicians discovered a malfunction in the charging port. The port was replaced and recalibrated, but despite these efforts, the vehicle continued to experience charging issues, struggling to maintain a full charge on several occasions.
By the third service attempt, the owner reported additional issues with the battery management system, which caused inaccurate charge level readings and intermittent power losses. The dealership performed a software update and conducted further diagnostics, but the charging and battery problems remained unresolved.
At just 7,200 miles, the owner returned for another service visit, once again reporting the same persistent issues. Despite multiple repair attempts, the problems were never fully resolved, leaving the owner frustrated and without a reliable vehicle.
