2018 Nissan LEAF Electrical System Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1643647
Internal NHTSA #	11308645

Model	LEAF
Model Year	2018
File date	01/07/19

Description of the problem	The control panel touchscreen display in the nissan leaf (2018) has a denial of service vulnerability that can be used to lock up the screen. Once locked, the touch screen can no longer be used even if the car is turned off and on. The only way to unlock the screen is by removing and re-inserting the sd card containing the mapping data. This seems to arise from the sos functionality locking the touchscreen and not turning off when the car does. To replicate: 1. Turn on the car, verify that nissanconnect with sos functionality is enabled by checking that the little light on the sos button is lit. 2. Press the sos button. 3. Press and hold the sos button while turning off the car. 4. The sos call will lock the screen of the car, and will stay that way until the sd card is removed and re-inserted. Tried reporting this to nissan, no response.
