Vehicle experienced total electrical propulsion loss while driving on a public highway and had to be towed. Dealer diagnosis confirmed Diagnostic Trouble Code P33ED-00 per Nissan Bulletin NTB26-032. This is related to the open federal battery recall R25C8; the recall remedy failed. Nissan authorized a high-voltage traction battery replacement under Powertrain Authorization #[XXX]. The vehicle has been held disabled at the dealership (Nissan of Everett, Washington) since [XXX] because it is unsafe to operate, and no replacement parts are available. Nissan North America agreed in writing (Intent Letter dated June 29, 2026, Case #[XXX]) to repurchase the vehicle but has not completed the buyback. The safety risk is a sudden, total loss of motive power while driving on public roads. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

I am writing to formally document a catastrophic safety failure involving my vehicle, a Nissan LEAF, which resulted in a total vehicle fire, the destruction of personal property, and severe risk to human life. Prior to this incident, the vehicle had operated without issue. However, the vehicle became subject to an official safety recall. In attempting to resolve this, I brought the car to a Nissan dealership multiple times, only to be informed that no remedy was available yet. I was subsequently directed to call Nissan Consumer Affairs via their 800-number. The corporate representative instructed me to take the vehicle to a dealership for a formal evaluation. Following these instructions, I brought the vehicle to an alternative Nissan dealership. This facility performed a software update and explicitly assured me that the recall issue had been resolved. Furthermore, service personnel stated that it was entirely safe to utilize high-speed DC fast chargers (commonly referred to as superchargers). Approximately one month after this service was completed, I connected the vehicle to an EVgo fast-charging station. While the vehicle was charging, my son and I remained inside the cabin. We were resting and on the verge of falling asleep due to the expected charging duration. Suddenly, I heard loud crackling noises and witnessed heavy fumes emerging from the vehicle. We immediately evacuated the cabin. Within moments, the vehicle filled with thick smoke, and an active fire erupted. I

I am submitting this complaint regarding a manufacturer‑performed recall on my 2022 Nissan LEAF that resulted in a complete loss of charging capability immediately after Nissan applied its software update. Prior to the recall, the vehicle operated normally and had no charging issues. Following the recall intervention, the vehicle became unable to charge at all. This failure occurred directly and immediately after Nissan’s recall action. At the dealership, battery replacement was initially presented as a potential remedy. However, Nissan corporate assigned the case to a third‑party administrator, and it became clear that no repair option — including battery replacement — was available. Ultimately, Nissan proceeded with a buyback of the vehicle. This outcome raises a significant fairness concern. The vehicle is only four years old, and a battery replacement should reasonably be available to consumers when a manufacturer‑initiated recall causes the battery system to fail. Treating a four‑year‑old electric vehicle as irreparable — and offering repurchase as the only remedy — is not consistent with reasonable consumer expectations, especially when the failure was caused by the manufacturer’s own recall procedure. I am requesting that the agency review Nissan’s handling of this recall, the denial of battery replacement for a relatively new vehicle, and the use of repurchase as the sole remedy. The recall directly caused the vehicle to become inoperable, and Nissan’s refusal to auth

Battery recall has not been serviced. I was turned away from dealers more than once for recall 25V-655.

My car all of a sudden lost drive power while I was driving up Parleys Canyon on I-80. My car started slowing down in traffic rapidly and I had to make emergency maneuvers to get to the side of the road. After the incident the car had trouble accelerating and couldn't keep up with traffic to get it to the shop. This is an active recall and Nissan refuses to fix the battery.

The high-voltage battery on my 2022 Nissan Leaf is subject to Recall 25V655. The recall notice states that the battery cells can develop excessive lithium deposits, which increases electrical resistance and can cause rapid battery heating during Level 3 fast charging. Nissan instructs owners not to use Level 3 charging at all until a “remedy” is available. The issue is that the remedy described by Nissan is not an actual repair of the battery defect. Nissan states it will install software that monitors for “state-of-charge fluctuation” and, if detected, will prevent the vehicle from restarting or recharging in order to avoid a thermal incident. This means the defect inside the battery cells is still present, and the car may disable itself if the defect begins to appear. The recall materials also state there is no warning before overheating occurs. This creates multiple safety concerns: • The underlying battery defect remains uncorrected. • The vehicle can become immobilized (unable to restart or recharge) if the software detects the condition. • Loss of Level 3 charging capability affects the ability to travel safely or plan charging when needed. • A battery fire risk exists during Level 3 charging if the defect is not detected in time. Nissan’s documents state that the software is meant only to prevent the “progression” of a thermal incident, not to repair the defective battery. I am concerned that my vehicle contains a known hazardous defect that has not been physically rep

I have attempted to conduct the recall repairs (25V-655) on the LEAF battery. 2 different Nissan locations have cancelled my scheduled appointments stating "We don't have the software to complete these repairs".

VIN [XXX] battery percentage drops drastically and instantly once it reaches 50–60%. is behavior aligns with the active lithium deposit defects found under open Recall R25C8. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

After having the recall (Recall 25V655) remedy applied to my car, it will not restart after charging. I charged it once after receiving it back (the dealership had not fully charged it during the recall work - it was returned at 76%). And it immediately started throwing errors and will only be in neutral now. The Dealership service center maintains that this is not the result of the recall issue or the recall fix, which is quite unbelievable. I do not believe the recall remedy is actually a remedy.

In October of 2025 , while driving my nissan leaf. Suden4ly i got an error message on the dash showing battery issue force reduced, due to this the vehicle driven at 55miles approximately lower it self down to 30 mph, I was approximat3ly 35 miles from home or any nissan service departments, I was able to drive the vehicle to my closest dealership and they were able to look at the possible cause, they gave me the vehicle back a couple of days after withe codes del3t3d and a supposedly fix was recharged the 12w battery. ,less than a week pass by and same issue happen and I was able to come back to their service department.for further diagnostic. Aproximat3ly 45 days went by and I stop by there service dep and was told they didn't have the equipments special gloves to work on the high volt electrical battery so instead of me leaving it there for it to just sit there I took it home with is not far from it, for two months to allow them tkme.to.get the required equipment. I come back on December 27 since rh3n is still there with no diagnostic results or repairs just sitting there, getting more damage as I come back a few months after, I had my children car seat on it and they are all molded and no longer usable. I contacted nissan cuatomet affairs months ago and after many calls and emails to get some one to finally accept to help me get a resolution in March I was told by letter sent to my email that they agreed to buy back the unit. They asked for some documents on the letter, I

I was at a red light on a slight decline with my foot on the regular brake. I am 99% certain the Epedal was on. Something startled me and I took my foot off the regular brake, but the Epedal should have held the car still. It didn't, and I rolled into a Jeep SUV, smashing in the front of my car where the charging port is. Progressive Insurance says my car is totalled. The airbags did not deploy, and no one was hurt, but my passenger, an 89-year old with a recent hip replacement, could have been compromised. I am researching Black Box retrieval options, but they appear to cost more than my deductible. There were no warnings that the system was faulty.

"2022 Nissan Leaf 40 kWh (VIN: [XXX], ~41,570 miles) lost motive power at highway speed on [XXX]. Vehicle entered turtle mode and shifted into neutral while traveling on the freeway, requiring me to coast to an off-ramp (I was completely unable to use the accelerator nor move the car into Park). Vehicle was inoperable and required towing. This followed a similar incident on [XXX], where the vehicle entered turtle mode 7 miles from home despite showing 120 miles of indicated range. LeafSpy diagnostics confirm 8 weak battery cells with a 261 mV spread. Open recall NHTSA 25V-655 is unresolved. This is a safety defect, not normal degradation. I am attaching photos that show significant variance in mileage--at one point, I had 95 miles, and within 7 miles, it had gone to 0 miles and after another 8 miles, it entered turtle mode. 3 miles after that, the car essentially shut off and went into neutral.

The contact owns a 2022 Nissan Leaf. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V655000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM); however, the part to do the recall repair was unavailable. The local dealer was contacted and confirmed that the part was not available. The contact stated that a Level 3 charging error message was displayed, and the vehicle stalled. The vehicle was later towed to the local dealer, who performed an electrical software update, but the failure reoccurred. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 86,830.

I am reporting a critical safety hazard involving my 2021 Nissan Leaf S Plus (approx. 117,000 miles). Since January 2025, the vehicle has exhibited dangerous battery degradation and voltage sag during operation. On my 30-mile highway commute, while driving at normal highway speeds—especially on inclines—the vehicle would suddenly display a low-power warning, and the remaining battery percentage would instantly crash. This caused a sudden, dangerous loss of propulsion in high-speed traffic, creating severe crash risks. I primarily charged at home and rarely used DC fast charging. On May 22, 2026, while actively driving, the dashboard flashed: "Service EV system unable to restart after power off." I pulled over, and upon turning the car off, it completely bricked. The auxiliary electronics power up, but the vehicle permanently refuses to enter "READY" (Drive) mode due to a high-voltage safety lock. The vehicle was towed to an authorized Nissan dealer. The certified technician's diagnostic report confirmed that the high-voltage traction battery has completely failed and is internally damaged. Crucially, this vehicle is currently under an active, unremedied safety recall (NHTSA Recall 25V655 / Nissan R25C8) due to excessive lithium deposits that cause severe battery degradation, sudden power loss, and fire risks. The physical failure of my battery is a direct manifestation of this exact manufacturing defect. Nissan’s software-only "interim remedy" did not fix the hardware defect;

Recall R25C8 has restricted my vehicle from Level 3 charging since October 2025. The manufacturer has left me with a vehicle that cannot perform basic long-distance transit for over half a year. This is our only vehicle and makes long distance traveling to visit family impossible without renting a car.

I feel like the manufacture has failed to remedy recall 25V-655 in a timely manner. Not being able to fast charge is not a workable solution for the function of the car.

Purchased 11/2022. Drove extensively out of town and charged with fast charger destroying the battery. Had towed into dealership 3 times they cleared the code 3 times (limp mode) Dealership refuses to change battery under warranty. Due to the fire hazard the car was put in non-op August 2024.

Dear National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), I am submitting a formal safety complaint regarding my 2022 Nissan Leaf due to repeated and sudden battery failure that has created unsafe driving conditions. Over the past several months, my vehicle has experienced severe and unpredictable battery drain. Even after a full charge (approximately 100 miles indicated), the battery rapidly depletes to 20–30 miles or less within a short distance. On multiple occasions, the vehicle has lost charge unexpectedly, leaving me stranded and requiring assistance to safely return home. This issue presents a serious safety concern, as the sudden loss of battery power can occur while driving, increasing the risk of being stranded in unsafe locations or traffic conditions. I took the vehicle to an authorized Nissan service center (Bommarito Nissan), where it remained for several days for diagnosis. During this time, I was informed that the issue was being evaluated and that replacement of several battery modules or possibly the entire battery pack might be required. However, after internal review, the issue was dismissed and attributed solely to “weather conditions,” and no repair or replacement was performed. This explanation is not acceptable, as the same issue has occurred in normal and mild weather conditions. The problem persists and continues to impact the safe operation of the vehicle. Despite multiple requests, I have not received a complete diagnostic report or a clear tech

Nissan Recall R25C8 (NHTSA ID: 25V655), Incomplete, remedy not available Primary Issue: High-voltage battery fire risk during Level 3 (DCFC) charging due to excessive lithium deposits. I have been told by Nissan not to use Level 3 fast charging. This has significantly impaired the utility of my vehicle due to: - Limited Range/Utility: Without fast charging, I can't use the car for trips beyond its immediate single-charge radius, basically turning a long-range EV into a local-only car. The proposed software may limit charging or prevent the vehicle from restarting if it detects a dangerous condition, rather than permanently fixing the defect. - Time Loss: I can't charge at home unless (only overnight & if weather permits) I run a cable out of my apartment window, across the grass & sidewalk for a trickle charge (Level 1). Otherwise I have to drive to a Level 2 charger & wait many hours to charge up. This is significantly longer, makes it impossible to quickly 'top off' as advertised. For comparison: L3 (DCFC) gets me at least 15% in about 15 minutes (60% per/hour); L2 only gets 11% per/hour. L1 only gets 2% per/hour. Without DCFC this car is almost useless. - Diminished Value: Nissan sold me a $38,000 car & I'm concerned that a software-only 'fix' that may throttle charging speeds or simply disable the car if it detects heat will permanently reduce the vehicle's market value. I actually expected to keep this car for the rest of my life, but the CHAdeMO system (which appears is

Recall notice has been present for > 1 year and no remedy yet available for dangerous battery overheating.

My Nissan Leaf is currently under NHTSA Recall Number 25V-655 since Oct 2025 and I cannot charge the car on a Level 3 fast charger. This has made the car unusable for my current needs. I have been forced to rent and borrow cars for necessary long distance trips. Nissan continues to delay their planned resolution for this problem and this situation is completely unacceptable.

Due to Recall 25V-655, I am unable to safely use level 3 charging. The first notice I received of this issue (in October, 2025), stated that a remedy would be available by December, 2025. I just received a second interim owner notification that states a remedy will be available within the 2026 calendar year. This is not a timely remedy, as I have already waited 5 months for this fix to an important safety problem, and am now being told I may have to wait another 9 months.

The vehicle has been unable to charge at a lvl3 charger due to safety recall 25V-655 meaning I am no longer able to use this car as a daily commuter for my purpose.

The recall notice states that the battery cells can develop excessive lithium deposits, which increases electrical resistance and can cause rapid battery heating during Level 3 fast charging. Nissan instructs owners not to use Level 3 charging at all until a “remedy” is available. The issue is that the remedy described by Nissan is not an actual repair of the battery defect and has been significantly delayed, with no remedy provided for the loss of use of my vehicle, due to the dangers of the battery, which is still covered by warranty. Nissan states it will install software that monitors for “state-of-charge fluctuation” and, if detected, will prevent the vehicle from restarting or recharging in order to avoid a thermal incident.

I bought my vehicle used, in May 2025. Then, in October (if not earlier), a safety recall was issued relating to the fast charging of the EV battery. This recall tells me that I’m not to use the CHAdeMO charging port due to battery fire risk. Now, almost 6 months later, there still isn’t a remedy available. Not being able to fast charge puts a huge restriction on where I’m able to go in my car. NO ONE wants to sit around for hours waiting for their car battery to recharge in order to get to their destination. I have contacted Nissan’s corporate office to ask if they would offer me a loaner vehicle for my longer distance drives, but they said no and didn’t have any other assistance to offer until the remedy is available. I would like to know, are they given any sort of deadline to remedy such a HUGE safety recall, or what most people would consider a DEFECT? If so, what kind of penalty do they face if this deadline isn’t met? If not, is there anything I can do to hold them accountable for selling me a defective Electric Vehicle? Thank you for your time

My 2022 Nissan LEAF (VIN: [XXX] , approximately 24,000 miles) is subject to an active safety recall involving the high‑voltage battery and risk of fire during DC fast charging. This includes NHTSA Recall Campaign No. 25V‑655 (Nissan Recall No. R25C8), which relates to battery overheating during Level 3 (DC fast) charging. Related prior campaigns include 24V‑700 affecting similar Nissan LEAF battery systems. Nissan has instructed owners not to use Level 3 fast charging but has failed to provide a timely repair or firm remedy date. I have been waiting [X months] with no confirmed resolution. The restriction significantly limits vehicle range and usability, increases charging time, and creates ongoing inconvenience and safety concerns. Despite the seriousness of the defect, Nissan has not offered a loaner vehicle, compensation, or alternative remedy.

My 2022 Nissan Leaf (VIN ending 558192) is affected by recall R25C8 (Lithium-ion Battery Expansion / Fire Risk from Quick Charging). The recall, announced September 30, 2025, requires a software update to the battery management system. Nissan has advised not to use the CHAdeMO DC fast charging port until remedied. No remedy is currently available, and the software update has not been deployed. This defect substantially impairs the vehicle's use, value, and safety for its intended purpose (long-distance travel), restricting it to local driving only. The delay has caused significant loss of use. We previously contacted Nissan on October 7, 2025 (Case #55896895) with no resolution. Contacted them again February 18 2026 (Case #56332493), with no resolution. This is ongoing as of February 2026.

Received recall notice in September/October 2025 that the lithium battery of my 2022 Nissan Leaf SV Plus could catch on fire if fast charged, creating a serious safety hazard. This prevents use of car on out of town trips, or fast charging in town when needed. This puts myself and others at risk of injury by fire and limits my ability to fully use my car to the extent that I was able when I purchased it from the dealership. I continue to be informed by the dealer that a software repair is being worked on, but no date for repair availability, nor confirmation that a software repair will allow me to take the car out of town for fast charging without slowing or shutting down of the system. No warning lamps have appeared, and the dealer has not examined my car.

The vehicle is subject to a manufacturer safety recall related to a fire risk involving the high-voltage battery system. After receiving the recall notice, I brought the vehicle to an authorized dealer for evaluation. The dealer confirmed that there is currently no permanent remedy available for this recall and no estimated timeline for when a corrective repair will be available. The vehicle was returned to me without a corrective repair being performed. Since the recall, the vehicle’s charging capability and usable driving range have been significantly reduced compared to normal operation. Fast-charging functionality is no longer reliably available, resulting in longer charging times and a materially decreased effective range. This condition persists and is not attributable to normal battery degradation or driving habits. The vehicle was purchased new in reliance on its advertised driving range and charging capability, which were necessary to meet predictable daily transportation requirements. Due to the post-recall charging limitations and reduced effective range, the vehicle can no longer be relied upon to perform as originally intended. The active safety recall restricts authorized dealers from selling, leasing, or transferring the vehicle until a permanent remedy is available. No remedy or definitive timeline has been provided.

As per the recall notice, the vehicle suffers from 'excessive lithium deposits within battery cells' which can cause 'rapid heating of the battery' and result in a battery fire. The manufacturer has officially instructed me NOT to use Level 3 Quick Charging (CHAdeMO) until a remedy is completed. This restriction substantially impairs the use and value of the vehicle, as it eliminates the ability to use the car for long-distance travel, which is its primary intended purpose. It has been over 3 months since this recall was issued, and the status remains 'Remedy not yet available.' The manufacturer has failed to provide a timely repair for this fire risk. I am currently driving a vehicle that is a known fire hazard and has restricted utility. I request an immediate resolution.

The contact owns a 2022 Nissan Leaf. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V655000 (Electrical System); however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The local dealer was not contacted. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure.

This is related to NHTSA recall 25V-655: I am no longer able to DC fast charge my vehicle due to the recall related to charging and battery instability. This prevents me from using the car in the way that it was intended. I cannot drive more than 80 miles from my home in any direction. Less if I drive on the highway. This is not an acceptable situation for a vehicle. If a gas vehicle could not be refueled as it was designed, the vehicle would be replaced by the manufacturer. I have filed a request for buy back but the manufacturer has stated that there were not enough recalls built up on my vehicle to warrant a replacement or any compensation.

It has been months this recall has been out. I have a 2022 leaf on a car note for a year now. I barely get 50-60 miles per full charge. My car is basically useless if I cannot fast charge it which I haven’t been able to because of this recall that has had no remedy for months. I am paying for a car I can’t use to its full potential. Now I’ve noticed when my car is on 60% or less and I’m driving on the highway the battery will go from 60 something percent to 45 and drop drastically. This is a major inconvenience.

Nissan has informed Leaf owners that we cannot use DCFC to charge the car, there is a danger of fire from an overheating battery. This poorly designed battery management system severely limits the distance one can travel in the car. It has become an expensive short commute vehicle! Nissan offered to "repurchase" my car. The offer had over $27K deductions for milage and repayment of my $10k lien I would have to pay Nissan $2,800 for them to take the car back! Nissan should take full responsibility for the known recall and poor engineering.

The vehicle has an open recall that could cause it to catch fire. I purchased this vehicle depending on fast charging since I live in an apartment and have no where to charge at work. I have spoken to Nissan about this and requested a repurchase. Nissan asked me to wait for the recall fix and continue to drive a car that I can’t even charge with my lifestyle. This has been an open issue for over 1 year and there is no fix in sight. At this point I just don’t have transportation since I can’t fast charge. I want Nissan to repurchase my car with this defective battery

The inability to fast charge has been open since Sept 2025 and there still is no resolution available.

The high-voltage battery on my 2022 Nissan Leaf is subject to Recall 25V655. The recall notice states that the battery cells can develop excessive lithium deposits, which increases electrical resistance and can cause rapid battery heating during Level 3 fast charging. Nissan instructs owners not to use Level 3 charging at all until a “remedy” is available. The issue is that the remedy described by Nissan is not an actual repair of the battery defect. Nissan states it will install software that monitors for “state-of-charge fluctuation” and, if detected, will prevent the vehicle from restarting or recharging in order to avoid a thermal incident. This means the defect inside the battery cells is still present, and the car may disable itself if the defect begins to appear. The recall materials also state there is no warning before overheating occurs. This creates multiple safety concerns: • The underlying battery defect remains uncorrected. • The vehicle can become immobilized (unable to restart or recharge) if the software detects the condition. • Loss of Level 3 charging capability affects the ability to travel safely or plan charging when needed. • A battery fire risk exists during Level 3 charging if the defect is not detected in time. Nissan’s documents state that the software is meant only to prevent the “progression” of a thermal incident, not to repair the defective battery. I am concerned that my vehicle contains a known hazardous defect that has not been physically rep

Heater will start to intermittently blow cold air when air temperatures are below ~18F. This started happening after I took vehicle in to fix recall P4A17 in December 2024. I had no issues prior to this recall "fix". In addition to being uncomfortable with cold air being blown on me at cold temperatures, this leads to the front and side windshields to start to fog up, impairing visibility. I have not taken it into a dealer to be examined as there are numerous reports already on-line that this is a known issue after the P4A17 "fix" and yet Nissan has not yet released an actual fix for the current problem of blowing cold air with cold temperatures. There are no warning lamps or messages.
