“The tires on my brand new Nissan LEAF went out at 15,000 miles. These cars have no spare wheel so when we had flat tire we had to tow it to the tire shop and pay the tow truck from our pocket. Nissan website have 36,000 miles warranty on tires listed, but when I called Nissan they said tire warranty is though bridgestone who manufacture the tires according to Nissan. They install on Nissan LEAF. I told them Nissan should be responsible since buyers do not know who made each individual part of the car. Anyway, when I called bridgestone they said they can not help me. …”

NHTSA complaint #10864185, filed 2016-05, 23,400 miles

“Whenever we come to a stop for a traffic light or a stop sign, and the speed of the car is < 3 miles , we noticed that when we apply brakes, they do not get applied immediately. There is a sudden surge in acceleration before the car comes to a complete stop. This is very noticeable especially when we apply brakes to slow the car before a traffic signal or stop sign and also in bumper to bumper traffic conditions. As a result, we tend to stop the car atleast couple of meters before the stop line or the car in front to buffer the acceleration by the car. Thank you”
