| Description of the problem | A case#33557927 was reported to nissan leaf consumer relation and a car was taken to a dealership at long beach nissan(phone #562-264-400) to report a batter that is not holding charge and recently the car begin to lurch forward. Nissan was able to reproduce the issue. Nissan corp should correct the battery and safety issue. So far, they have been professional and does not take any ownership to solve the problem. I request an email after the case was opened and they never send me the email. This issue involve safety and battery not holding charge. The battery is still under defective warranty. Nissan wants to put the vehicle on public road that is not safe. Nhtsa board would agreed with me that nissan acted irresponsibly should they go forward with not fixing the batter and the car lurching forward issue. |
