“I was driving down the freeway going roughly 70mph with pro pilot cruise control enabled. The car sensed a car ahead and slammed on the brakes, but there were no cars in front of me and was almost rear ended by a car going 70+ MPH on i5 .”
NHTSA complaint #11326570, filed 2020-05, 11,250 miles“Leaf backup screen turns pink when in reverse. Unable to backup safely!!! Called and drove LEAF to dealer who inspected the LEAF.. Dealer said there would be a 'box delivered next week' and they would call me.”
NHTSA complaint #11325221, filed 2020-05, 4,300 miles“When the vehicle is in stop and go or heavy traffic, the air conditioning system throttles itself back to conserve power in the traction battery. Combined with the fact there are no rear seat vents (either in the console or the floor), it gets dangerously hot in the vehicle, especially in the back of the vehicle. According to Nissan, USA, this is the design of the vehicle. Temperatures of over 100 degrees have been recorded in my daughter's car seat while in traffic with the air conditioning hardly running or running at a very low power. …”
NHTSA complaint #11253002, filed 2019-09, 4,500 miles“On friday 5/22/2020 at 8:59 pm a 2019 Nissan LEAF was in motion driving at less than 7 miles per hours when the main screen displayed: 'warning: service EV system powered reduced'. Within seconds, the operator stopped the vehicle and took a photo of the screen. Immediately following the operator saw smoke coming from the front of vehicle. The operator quickly exited the vehicle. Very shortly after the vehicle was engulfed in flames. Fire department put the flames out. See attached photos of warning screen, trip report, vehicle on fire, and vehicle after fire was put out.”
NHTSA complaint #11325648, filed 2020-05, 10,194 miles“I was driving on the highway and sped up slightly to get into the passing lane. Suddenly, the dashboard changed to “Service EV system no power” and the car completely dropped out of acceleration, de-accelerated and lost power. With no warning. With the momentum I already had, I was able to get to the shoulder, but if anyone had been behind me, I would have been hit.”
