| Description of the problem | My 2016 leaf sl was damaged in a fairly low speed collision during heavy office rush traffic (around 7:30am in the morning). When the car in front of me suddenly stopped, i also braked hard. At that time i heard abs like sound but the car did not actually stop, it kept on going and hit the car in front of me. I was too stressed out at the moment therefore i did not have time to think. Later on, i spent some time searching internet with search queries like 'nissan leaf brake problem' or 'nissan leaf did not brake' etc. I found multiple mentions of experiences very similar to mine. If you perform google search, you will see what i mean. Is there a way to look at the leaf onboard data to see what may have happened? |
