Probably a legitimate problem, but probably only in very hot climates. Different cars shine in different climates. The manufacturers try to sell their products to everyone everywhere, but what other product works that way? If I lived in Arizona, I wouldn’t buy one. If I lived in Ohio, I would.

I hope someone from Nissan reads this blog. Nissan you are ruining any opportunity you had to be a leader in the electric car movement. Just like most people feel that Toyota led the hybrid movement, your name will be associated with a company that brought an inferior product to market, misled your customers as to what they were actually buying and created a very strong perception that electric cars suck. I was never fond of Nissan. I always thought their cars were lacking style and not very well built.
Then the Leaf came out and I started to think they were going to really be a standout company. No more. Where I once wanted a Leaf now I have no interest what-so-ever in this car. No way would I buy any car from Nissan.

I do not believe that this is a serious problem. I drive a Nissan for 10 years and never had a problem with it. I believe, too, that these people are not complaining for nothing. All allegations should be thoroughly checked. The charges are not naive.

In an earlier article in this series concerning Arizona and Texas Leaf problems I said wait and see what the investigation reveals. Nissan has not made a statement but the buy back under the Lemon law of two of the 7 Leafs studied speaks volumes. Look for claims the new battery corrects some vaguely described issues.
