2022 Nissan Leaf Fuel system Problems

“My car all of a sudden lost drive power while I was driving up Parleys Canyon on I-80. My car started slowing down in traffic rapidly and I had to make emergency maneuvers to get to the side of the road. After the incident the car had trouble accelerating and couldn't keep up with traffic to get it to the shop. This is an active recall and Nissan refuses to fix the battery.”

“This is related to NHTSA recall 25V-655: I am no longer able to DC fast charge my vehicle due to the recall related to charging and battery instability. This prevents me from using the car in the way that it was intended. I cannot drive more than 80 miles from my home in any direction. Less if I drive on the highway. This is not an acceptable situation for a vehicle. If a gas vehicle could not be refueled as it was designed, the vehicle would be replaced by the manufacturer. …”

“I bought my vehicle used, in May 2025. Then, in October (if not earlier), a safety recall was issued relating to the fast charging of the EV battery. This recall tells me that I’m not to use the CHAdeMO charging port due to battery fire risk. Now, almost 6 months later, there still isn’t a remedy available. Not being able to fast charge puts a huge restriction on where I’m able to go in my car. NO ONE wants to sit around for hours waiting for their car battery to recharge in order to get to their destination. …”

“Nissan has informed Leaf owners that we cannot use DCFC to charge the car, there is a danger of fire from an overheating battery. This poorly designed battery management system severely limits the distance one can travel in the car. It has become an expensive short commute vehicle! Nissan offered to repurchase my car. The offer had over $27K deductions for milage and repayment of my $10k lien I would have to pay Nissan $2,800 for them to take the car back! Nissan should take full responsibility for the known recall and poor engineering.”

“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. EVGO, one of the major lv3 chargers refuses service from customers with Leafs as well at this time, forcing me to rent a vehicle for long distance family trips this holiday season. …”
