2012 Nissan LEAF Electronic Stability Control Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1099473
Internal NHTSA #	10625730
Manufacurer	Nissan North America, Inc.
Brand	NISSAN
Model	LEAF
Model Year	2012
File date	19/09/13
Component	ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	An animal ran in front of the car. After a hard application of brakes and subsequent release of brake pedal, the car continued to stop, coming to a full stop in the street without driver input. The condition can be repeated, if you step on the brake pedal hard enough. The brakes function normally in typical driving. The problem only manifiests itself in emergency or unusually hard braking as encountered in collision avoidance of cars, pedestrians, or other obstacles. A second incident also occurred at 30 mph. An oncoming car appeared in my lane on a blind curve. The abrupt braking resulted in the leaf stopping unexpectedly and completely in the curve. Due only to the vigilance of the driver following behind us, we were not rear ended. I had stopped applying the brake long before the leaf was stopped, as the danger had passed. From 40 mph, a hard application of the brakes, and the release of the brake pedal fully at 35 mph, will result in the car coming to a full stop in the road. Application of throttle immediately after release of the brake pedal at approx 35 mph will result slight mitigation of braking, but only after a delay. The car will still continue to slow down unexpectedly and put the occupants in significant danger from following traffic. I tested another 2012 leaf and exhibited it the same behavior while a 2014 did not, instead, reacting normally to hard braking.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
