Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“My Nissan Leaf is currently under NHTSA Recall Number 25V-655 since Oct 2025 and I cannot charge the car on a Level 3 fast charger. This has made the car unusable for my current needs. I have been forced to rent and borrow cars for necessary long distance trips. Nissan continues to delay their planned resolution for this problem and this situation is completely unacceptable.”

NHTSA complaint #11727634, filed 2026-03

“Due to Recall 25V-655, I am unable to safely use level 3 charging. The first notice I received of this issue (in October, 2025), stated that a remedy would be available by December, 2025. I just received a second interim owner notification that states a remedy will be available within the 2026 calendar year. This is not a timely remedy, as I have already waited 5 months for this fix to an important safety problem, and am now being told I may have to wait another 9 months.”

“My 2022 Nissan Leaf is part of recall R25C8 involving a battery fire risk during DC fast charging. Nissan has advised not to use Level 3 charging, which prevents normal operation of the vehicle. The dealership refuses to provide a rental or loaner while I wait for the remedy. I am currently unable to use the vehicle safely for transportation. This recall has made the vehicle unusable and Nissan is denying transportation assistance. I am requesting NHTSA intervention.”

NHTSA complaint #11696218, filed 2025-10

“I have attempted to conduct the recall repairs (25V-655) on the LEAF battery. 2 different Nissan locations have cancelled my scheduled appointments stating We don't have the software to complete these repairs .”

NHTSA complaint #11758070, filed 2026-08

“After having the recall (Recall 25V655) remedy applied to my car, it will not restart after charging. I charged it once after receiving it back (the dealership had not fully charged it during the recall work - it was returned at 76%). And it immediately started throwing errors and will only be in neutral now. The Dealership service center maintains that this is not the result of the recall issue or the recall fix, which is quite unbelievable. I do not believe the recall remedy is actually a remedy.”
