2020 NISSAN LEAF Electrical System Problems

Nissan still has not provided a remedy for recall number Nissan recall R24B2 NHTSA 24V700000. This prevents me from being able to access the full use of the car because I cannot fast charge without risk of damaging the EV battery. Just last week I had to borrow a gas car and pay for gas in order to take a road trip. This is unacceptable. We should have a remedy by now.

the front collision detection system frequently stops working, especially when there is wet weather. The little light on the dash comes on that shows it's not working. ALSO. My car has a serious battery issue that is not related to the fast-charging issue with the current recall. The battery frequently loses charge while driving, and I have to cut trips short and head home in "turtle mode".

See attached document for complaint. I am writing to formally report a serious safety concern regarding my 2020 Nissan Leaf which appears to be affected by a known defect involving the lithium-ion battery and DC fast charging capability. Despite Nissan's acknowledgment of the issue and a recall campaign (R25A3), no effective remedy has been provided. Owners have been advised to avoid using Level 3 fast chargers due to the risk of battery overheating and fire. This restriction significantly compromises the vehicle's utility and safety, especially for long-distance travel. I respectfully request that NHTSA investigate whether Nissan has met its obligations under federal safety regulations and whether further enforcement or expanded recall action is warranted. I am also seeking clarification on my rights as a consumer under current recall protocols.

Nissan has failed to remedy this major defect in the functionality of this vehicle, for which I purchased it, and as of today, the local dealer, Empire Nissan of Lakewood, CO has not projected date for remedy. This is in direct relation to recall 24V-700/R24B2

Nissan initiated a recall for its stage three fast charging (R24B2). This was initiated in September 2024, with an initial completion date of November 2024. It was updated after that deadline passed to March 2025. As of today there is still no solution to the issue. This severely limits the use of the vehicle since it cannot be fast charged Nissan has failed to remedy the issue after multiple times going to a dealer. Nissan also will not offer any sort of compensation or other solution to the issue i.e. car rental, which was positioned. My last attempt to contact Was on 9/25 in which I spoke with a regional Nissan, customer relations manager, who stated that there was nothing they could do until a resolution is reached.

For all practical purposes, vehicle is restricted to local driving only with no fix in sight.

2020 Nissan Leaf recalled for drive battery over a year ago. Last promised a repair by March 2025. Still no repair offered by October 1, 2025. Nissan continues to sell electric vehicles that do not have a drive battery problem. It is my opinion that Nissan needs to replace the drive battery.

We have an open recall for the DC fast Charging for the last year. I use my car for work and often need to fast charge and haven’t been able to and so have to use another vehicle. This has caused a lot of stress and problems for work over the last year and Nissan have failed to address. I am also then concerned about resale value for the vehicle

The car was recalled over a year ago, and a remedy was promised in a few months. The issue has still not been resolved, resulting in the inability to take the car on a trip longer than about 175 miles. This completely compromises the usability of the vehicle!

Manufacture has failed to deliver a remedy to a recall in a timely manner.

This car has been under recall at risk of fire, injury, and death, and Nissan has made no attempts to fix the recall for years now. Im not able to use a feature I paid for and I'm worried if someone else uses the vehicle without knowing will start a fire

I am submitting this complaint due to Nissan's lack of action on a critical safety recall that has remained open without a remedy for over a year (NHTSA Recall Number 24V-700 / Nissan Recall Number R24B2). The recall involves a manufacturing defect in the high-voltage battery that can cause overheating and fire during DC fast charging. This is a severe safety risk, not only to owners but also to nearby vehicles and property at charging stations. Nissan’s only response has been to tell owners not to use DC fast charging, which was inadequate as a temporary measure and unacceptable as a long-term solution. Without access to DC fast charging, vehicle usability is severely compromised. Daily commuting is difficult, and long-distance travel is nearly impossible. Level 1 and 2 charging do not provide practical alternatives, and many owners rely on DC fast charging as their only feasible option. This feature is a basic expectation of modern EV ownership, and had I known I would lose it indefinitely, I would never have purchased this vehicle. After a full year, Nissan has provided no remedy, no timeline, and no meaningful communication. Even if a fix were announced today, implementation would take additional weeks or months. This is not a timely response to a major safety and usability issue. As an affected owner, I expect one of the following: (1) Nissan issues and implements a permanent fix within 30 days, (2) provides a free loaner vehicle until a remedy is available, or (3) repurchases the defective vehicles from me and other affected owners. Continuing with no action is unacceptable. As a repeat Nissan customer, this experience has been deeply disappointing and has caused me to lose confidence in the brand.

Nissan refusing assistance. They will not buyback the vehicle or at least give me partial money back, which I asked for $18000 to at least pay off loan.

Note: Searching for similar complaints I found them under "Engine", "Electrical", and "Fuel". There are many such complaints! My 2020 Nissan Leaf has been under a recall notice since September of 2024 (12 months ago). Nissan warned the battery may catch fire during level 3 (rapid) charging. Nissan ordered owners not to use rapid chargers until a fix was in place. Such a fix was (and still is) promised by March 2025. That date is 6 months past now and yet their website still proclaims it. This, to me, demonstrates that Nissan is not actively working on the problem. They seem content to have shifted the burden of dealing with the problem onto their customers. Rapid charging is not a luxury, especially with large capacity batteries. Fully charging the car in 2-3 hours instead of 10-12 hours is a key selling point of the vehicle. To remove it amounts to a bait and switch. One year is an extremely generous amount time to allow for a solution. Obviously, they want a software solition to avoid the high cost of replacing the batteries. Obviously, they can't find a software solution. It is time for them to be forced to accept the higher cost consequence of releasing a faulty product. P.S. During a phone conversation with Nissan customer service in late July, I was told (after many denials that anything was wrong with them proclaiming a fix in March 2025 in July 2025) that a fix would be available in November. As their site still says March 2025 I must assume that was a blatant lie to pacify me.

Nissan, the manufacturer, has failed to remedy a safety recall, 24V-700, for my vehicle in a timely manner. A September 19, 2024 submission report states that Recall Number R24B2 will be remedied by November 2024. Now the Nissan website "NISSAN IS CURRENTLY DEVELOPING A REMEDY PLAN THAT IS EXPECTED TO BE AVAILABLE by March 2025". It is now August 2025 and no remedy has been established. This is a safety concern and a fire hazard and must be promptly addressed.

Nissan issued recall R24B2 on my Leaf 9 months ago. The recall warns my car could catch on fire when fast charging, but offers no remedy other than "don't fast charge it". Nissan keeps announcing remedy dates and missing them (October 2024, March 2025, now Q3 2025). I cannot drive my vehicle on a tri longer than one charge without the fast charge capability I was sold and bought - AND I am very concerned about the fire danger - there have been multiple incidents of Leaf's catching fire because of this recall. Nissan dealer and Consumer Affairs will offer no remedy, no buyback and no work-around. Is there any way NHTSA can help here?

Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2019-2020 LEAF vehicles equipped with a Level 3 quick charging port. The lithium-ion battery may overheat during Level 3 charging. Owners are advised not to use Level 3 quick charging until the remedy is completed. This recall was issued September 2024 and our family had just moved to an apartment building with no access to plug in vehicle to a regular outlet for Level 1 charging as per the guidance. This has caused a significant financial burden to our family of 5 -- we purchased this vehicle as a secondary form of transportation but we have been limited to its usage for nearly a year. Nissan continues to push the remedy timeline -- first it was March then "Spring" and now "Summer" -- we have submitted multiple inquiries and complaints through Nissan Customer Service and they have not made any effort in mediating a positive outcome for us -- meanwhile, we are paying monthly for the car loan, car insurance, and a parking space up to $600 -- currently at $6,600 cost to us with no real access to drive our vehicle as much as we can due to this charging limitation. This among many other recalls on this vehicle has not been addressed as required -- we have even asked Nissan to just buy this vehicle back to cover the loan balance but they refused and demanded that we just want for a repair in the future.

This vehicle has had a recall for 9 months, and I was told by one Nissan North America Consumer Affairs rep via text on 7/2/2025 that a remedy has been identified and that it would be deployed in third quarter of 2025. I initiated a formal complaint with Nissan on 7/2/2025 and today the Consumer Affair rep called me and told me there is not remedy. Nissan will not buy-back or replace these vehicle and that we should go to the dealership when a remedy becomes available. I tried the NYS Lemon Law but it does not cover recalls and the vehicle is now too old. This is ridiculous that for 9 months we have been unable to use the vehicle as intended and have has to rent vehicle because we are unable to drive this vehicle as intended.

Vehicle: 2020 Nissan Leaf Issue: Level 3 DC Fast Charging (CHAdeMO) disabled due to known defect Odometer: ~68,000 miles Description: My 2020 Nissan Leaf is affected by a known defect that disables Level 3 DC fast charging (CHAdeMO). Nissan initially acknowledged the issue and planned a fix for November 2024, but that fix has now been delayed until Q3 2025. This delay means I will be without fast charging capability for nearly a full year, despite this being a key advertised feature of the vehicle. Fast charging is essential for longer trips, rural travel, and emergency use — its absence significantly reduces the car’s practicality and range flexibility. Nissan has not offered any interim solution or compensation. The prolonged delay creates a risk of EV drivers being stranded or unable to reliably plan travel, especially in areas with limited Level 2 infrastructure. Requested Action: I request that NHTSA monitor or investigate this issue, including the timeline and handling of the recall or repair. DC fast charging is a critical safety and usability feature for EVs, and prolonged manufacturer delays in addressing defects like this should not be acceptable.

Vehicle Information: Year: 2020 Make: Nissan Model: Leaf VIN: [XXX] Component: Battery/Power Train Description of Safety Issue: Since September 19, 2024, my 2020 Nissan Leaf has been under NHTSA Recall 24V-700 (Nissan ID: R24B2) due to excessive lithium deposits in battery cells, increasing electrical resistance and risking rapid battery heating during Level 3 quick charging via CHAdeMO. This could cause a battery fire. Per recall instructions, I’ve avoided Level 3 charging, but Nissan promised a remedy by March 2025, which hasn’t been provided as of June 23, 2025. This nine-month delay prevents long-distance travel due to reliance on slower charging, severely limiting my vehicle’s functionality and raising safety concerns. Incident Details: No incident, as I’ve avoided Level 3 charging. Issue affects CHAdeMO quick charging under all conditions. No aftermarket equipment involved. Supporting Documentation: Recall notice (24V-700) or dealership correspondence available upon request. Requested Action: Please investigate Nissan’s delay in resolving this recall, as it compromises vehicle safety and usability. Urge Nissan to provide a prompt remedy. Authorization: I authorize sharing my contact info with Nissan to expedite resolution. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The battery fire recall on my vehicle has been open since October 2024. The fix was supposed to happen March 2025. It is now May 2025 with no fix in sight. The value of my car has plummeted due to this recall and I am unable to sell to a private party as it is not in working condition. My car should be deemed a lemon as it is unsafe on the road with no fix in the pipeline. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The recall preventing me from fast charging and using my car as intended was supposed to be fixed by now! I would like a buyback by Nissan since they can't reach a resolution.

The affected EV battery in my vehicle is in danger of fire during Level 3 quick charging that I frequently use. It has been 8 months since the recall, but no remedy is available yet. This is utterly unacceptable and may even be illegal.

UNKNOWN - Since being notified of Recall R24B2 for the 2020 Nissan Leaf, I’ve been unable to safely use many chargers due to the risk of battery overheating and potential fire. The fix was first promised for Nov 2024, then delayed to Mar 2025, and now it's April 2025 with no resolution. This ongoing delay has disrupted the ability to use the vehicle as intended. Leaving it on slow chargers for long periods requires the use of alternate transportation frequently. My local dealership has no updates, and Nissan has not offered interim solutions. I’m reporting this as a safety concern due to the risk of overheating and the prolonged lack of remedy.

Can’t use fast-charging! I am filing this complaint regarding Nissan’s failure to resolve the DC fast charging issue affecting my 2020 Nissan Leaf. In October 2024, Nissan issued a recall for nearly 24,000 Leaf vehicles due to a fire risk linked to Level 3 fast charging. Nissan advised owners to stop using fast charging and promised a software update by November 2024 to fix the issue. It is now March 2025, and Nissan has yet to deliver the promised fix. As a result, I cannot safely use a key feature of my vehicle, which significantly impacts its functionality and usability for long trips. This continued delay has caused major inconvenience and has left owners without a solution for months beyond Nissan’s stated timeline. I am requesting that the NHTSA investigate Nissan’s failure to resolve this issue and hold the company accountable for not providing a timely fix. Nissan should either deliver the promised update or offer alternative solutions for affected owners. Please confirm receipt of this complaint and advise on any further steps I can take.

Nissan has delayed the fire-safety fix for the 2020 LEAF's (CHATdeMO) direct current charging defect. The recall was listed in September 2024 and it was supposed to be available in 2024. However, the fix is delayed until March 2025. As a result of this delay, I am unable to use the vehicle as intended, since direct current fast charging is prohibited. This is causing me great inconvenience. Can NHTSA demand Nissan ready this important safety fix in a timely fashion? Waiting six months for a recall that will likely only involve software modification is unacceptable! Please take action!

My Nissan Leaf high voltage battery has experienced excessive heating due to normal use of the level 3 chargers. Recently the battery tripped a fault sensor due to the expansion of battery cells due to excessive heating, and the vehicle is no longer drivable. They recommend replacing the battery, but refuse to help with the repairs because the vehicle is 3000 miles over the battery warranty. With the latest recall I believe this is unacceptable, and Nissan isn't even sure they can get a replacement battery. Please help.

Hello. I have a 20/20 Nissan Leaf SV Plus. This morning I had a total brake failure for lack of a better term. The E-Pedal system, which I always use, suddenly failed while I was driving, showing a warning on screen that said E-Pedal system malfunction... Please use pedal to break. When I went to use the pedal to break nothing happened except for this horrible sound and feel in the pedal. It barely just finally grabbed a little bit enough to stop before I hit the car ahead of me. But it was nothing short of a total brake failure, both E-Pedal and manual pedal. Extremely distressing. What I want to know is how on earth when the E-Pedal fails, the normal manual brake pedal doesn't work either. One thing to note, I let it sit almost all day while I was at work, went out and tried it, and it suddenly was working. I drove around the parking lot, turned it off...back on ..and then The E-Pedal warning came up again. I then went and purchased a 12 volt battery, as I read in some forums that it's possibly due to that. That also did nothing. Got the same E-pedal malfunction. The main reason I'm letting your agency know, is because I would consider this a total break failure, and completely unacceptable. By sheer luck I was only going about 5 mph when it first happened, and I could still barely break in time. Any help on the Federal level...would be great. Thank you so much for your time.

Recall # R24B2 has a projected correction date of MARCH 2025 -just updated from NOVEMBER 2024!! This is totally unacceptable and the NHTSA needs to push for a quicker resolution.

I have previously had an issue with low resistance of the high voltage battery. This resulted in the car giving a warning code that prevents the restart of the vehicle once it's turned off. This is itself potentially leaves a driver in an unsafe location if they are in an isolated place since you are also unable to charge. I took it to the dealer multiple times and it took them almost a month to determine the vehicle did have an issue, that it needed 8 modules out of around 24 total replaced. These modules were replaced and the vehicle was returned to me. In spite of this the vehicle when under 50% capacity still exhibits erratic range and capacity readouts when under heavy load. The vehicle has been returned to the dealer and is under investigation again because it is unsafe to drive in this condition. There is currently an outstanding recall for high internal resistance when dc charging. This is the same resistance the battery has at all times so to assume it will only be a charging issue and not discharging is disingenuous. Any time a high load, either going into or out of, the battery a high internal resistance will lead to a cascading failure. The only repair is either replacement or the battery or derating the battery. The latter would vastly decrease the capabilities of the vehicle.

Approximately 20% of the time this vehicle is driven, the backup camera displays BLANK. A short term remedy has been to put the vehicle back in Park, exit the vehicle and apply a firm "smack" near the backup camera located on the rear hatch using a closed fist. This tends to temporarily solve the symptom of a BLANK backup camera output until inevitably the same thing happens again several days later during a subsequent drive. This is an active recall, this vehicle has been demonstrating this symptom for at least a year if not more, but even though the recall notice was received around February 2024, there is still no solution posted for us to seek repairs at the Nissan dealer.

Backup camera is not working. I know it’s got an open recall for this issue but it’s taking them so long to replace a cable. Just wanted this on record

I was driving on Interstate Highway H-3, uphill at 55 mph, when the % charge on the high-voltage battery instantaneously dropped from 18 to 5%. The warning light also came on. I was not using the A/C at the time. Over the next 30 seconds or so, the gauge quickly went from 5...4...3...2....1. By dumb luck, as the gauge hit 1%, I hit peak elevation on the mountain pass, and was able to coast in neutral until the freeway starts going downhill. Normally, an 18% charge would have been more than enough to comfortable complete my trip home from where I was on H-3 at the time. A sudden drop in battery % could lead to a cutoff of the motor, which at high-speed on a highway could cause a serious accident. I have subsequently done a battery health test and found the State of Health rating to be 90%. There don't appear to be any bad cells in the battery that would explain the sudden drop while driving. My hunch is that this problem is related to the firmware update I received at the Nissan dealer to address NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V494000.

backup camera was intermittently not working. Dealer tested and found "rear camera image signal test at the avm connector 20-19, and the signal is not normal". Code U111A-00 was found. Camera was replaced under extended warranty with $100 deductible, code was cleared and camera is now working. Vehicle has been in service for 2.5yrs and has 40k miles. I've seen several Nissan backup Camera recalls, but my vehicle was apparently not included? Submitting in case others are experiencing and a recall might be needed?

A yellow warning ⚠️ and two cars crashing comes on and during driving the car applies sudden breaking. I took the car in for repairs but no time line was given for repairs or parts. Also even though it's under warranty the dealer and the headquarter would not give me a rental car until the repairs are made.

ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS IN BOTH RURAL AND SUBURBAN ENVIRONMENTS, REGARDLESS OF WEATHER TEMPERATURE OUTSIDE AND DURING NORMAL FORWARD DRIVING MOTION, THE CAR REPORTS THAT THE FORWARD CAMERA OVERHEATS AND IMMEDIATELY RENDERS THE COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEM AND PROPILOT INOPERATIVE. DASH LIGHTS PICTURE INCLUDED.1ST OVERHEATING OCCURRENCE HAPPENED ON APRIL 15, 2020 AND THE AFTER 2 MORE OCCURRENCES I TOOK A PICTURE ON JULY 6, 2020. NISSAN SERVICE REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS AS A SAFETY ISSUE AND DISMISSES THE ISSUE WHEN I REQUEST SERVICE, STATING THAT IT IS "NORMAL OPERATION."
