Owner Complaints (6)
Your 2022 Nissan Leaf's high-voltage battery has a known defect where lithium deposits can build up inside the battery cells, increasing electrical resistance and causing dangerous overheating during fast charging. Nissan's recall fix is a software update that monitors for problems and disables the car if an issue is detected — rather than actually repairing the faulty battery cells themselves. You're concerned that the underlying defect remains unfixed, your car could become stranded if the software detects the condition, and there's still a fire risk during fast charging if the problem isn't caught in time. The fix involves installing monitoring software, but this does not repair the actual battery cell defect.

The rear backup camera suddenly started showing a black screen on my 2021 Nissan Leaf. The camera that shows the vehicle from above still works.
Intermittent problem with the backup camera. The Nissan dealership not able to see it because it started working again. When camera fails I am not able to see people or surroundings behind me. No warning just Intermittent failure. Thank you
When backing up after opening or closing the trunk the backup camera flashes blue and green with lines on the screen. It sometimes worked again when the trunk is slammed or the car is restarted. The safety was put at risk because I was not able to see the ground when reversing and there was a blind spot that the camera usually fills in.
Back up camera failure, image is either: distorted; pink; blank; or scrolling. This is the 2nd occurrence after failing in December 2022. Original fix was to replace the wiring harness.
