2022 NISSAN LEAF Unknown Or Other Problems

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.

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.

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.

Nissan sent me a recall notice in October 2025 and told me not to fast charge the vehicle. To date the recall has not been implemented. This makes the car unuseable for longer distances where I need to fast charge. I have also heard that EVGO is blocking this car model from even attempting to charge, regardless of if the car is affected or not by this recall.

Greetings My vehicle has approximately 63k and the entire battery pack has already been replaced one time. Approximately 3-4 weeks ago I got a letter informing me that I can no longer fast charge and there is no remedy for this at this time. I work 1 hour away from my home, so I haven't been able to get to work in weeks. I asked for a buy back and they stated no. I asked Nissan's Consumer Affairs for a rental and they said no. I asked the dealership where I purchased the vehicle for a rental and they said no. It is important to note that providing a rental is part of the recall or this is my understanding. It is also important to note that I have an extended warranty for this vehicle which should also include a rental. I pay almost $600 a month for this hunk...

Nissan has provided no remedy for this recall, no compensation, no rental vehicles, rendering this vehicle useless for long trips that require the use of a level 3 charger, which is why we purchased this vehicle in the first place

Recall R25C8 affects my 2022 Leaf’s battery cells and makes Level 3 charging unsafe. The proposed software only detects the defect and may disable the car. It does not fix the battery. I request repurchase or replacement of the vehicle. I also want to note that EVgo, one of the largest fast charging networks, is refusing to initiate fast charging sessions for Nissan Leafs because of this defect. This means Level 3 charging is unavailable not just because Nissan told me to stop using it, but because charging networks themselves are blocking my vehicle. That is a direct and substantial loss of use and value.

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...

I am the original owner of a 2022 Nissan Leaf, purchased new. On the evening of Thursday, 11/20/2025 I became aware of an active recall affecting my vehicle related to a battery fire hazard when using DC fast charging stations. I only learned of this serious safety defect when attempting to trade in my vehicle, at which point the dealership declined to accept it due to the unresolved recall. This recall poses a significant safety risk that I was not informed about despite being registered with Nissan. I have regularly used DC fast charging stations without any knowledge that doing so could result in a fire and potential severe injury. The recall notice does not appear in my Nissan account dashboard, although two other recalls for my vehicle are properly displayed there. However, when I independently search my VIN on the NHTSA website, the recall is clearly linked to my...

I own a 2022 Nissan Leaf (VIN [XXX] ) affected by Recall 25V-655. This recall prohibits use of Level 3 DC fast-charging due to a potential battery-fire risk, leaving the car unsuitable for long-distance use. My dealer’s service manager told me Nissan may have a fix “in spring 2026 or not.” That means no remedy is available for at least 6–12 months. I purchased this car only days before Nissan filed the recall (signed 9/30/25, posted 10/1/25). My salesperson specifically told me that the 2019–2020 Leafs had a battery recall with no fix, but the 2022 was unaffected. The timing suggests Nissan may have known the 2022 recall was imminent but had not disclosed it to dealers or buyers. I am requesting NHTSA ensure Nissan provides a timely, safe remedy or compensates affected owners for loss of functionality and value.

High-voltage traction battery / propulsion system repeatedly malfunctions. First incident – Aug 2023 (~91,000 mi). Vehicle displayed “EV System No Power” with DTC P31E7. After parking, the car would not restart; I was stranded > 2 hours on a surface road until towed. Nissan dealer (Napleton St Louis) replaced a battery module under warranty and cited Nissan TSB NTB23-024 (bent retention plate in 62 kWh pack). Vehicle returned to service. Second incident – Apr 2024 (~128,000 mi). Same symptoms re-appeared: dashboard showed 200 mi remaining, but under moderate acceleration the range meter plunged to ~80 mi within seconds, but releasing the accelerator the range would go back up, but plunge again once accelerating again. the car gets less then the then half what the dash claims on a full charge, leaving me to not know what the full range truly is. Two dealerships have said I'm having the same issue...

I was just at Empire Lakewood Nissan Dealership in Colorado on [XXX] for a few things. During my visit recall P4A17 was performed. I now notice on my drive in to work my heater isn't working now. It just blows cold air through the defroster and not at my feet as the HVAC indicator shows. I always have my auto climate feature set to 68 degrees F. It didn't finally come on until I'm almost to work. One of the best things about an electric car is I don't have to wait for the engine/coolant to warm up. My car was always warm by the time I left my neighborhood. Now I'm pulling into work and it's finally warm? What did P4A17 do to my car?

After a recent software update, my vehicle's cabin heating system began malfunctioning. On cold days, when heat is most critical, the system suddenly stops providing heat and blows cold air (around 64°F) for the remainder of the drive. This issue compromises both safety and comfort. My car is still under warranty so I brought it to the vehicle to Eden Prairie Nissan. Initially, the technician claimed I was not performing the "proper starting procedure" (keeping the blower speed low for the first few minutes). However, the provided owner’s manual supplement makes no mention of such a procedure affecting the heating system. After speaking with the dealership manager, I learned that other Nissan Leaf owners are experiencing the same issue. I was informed that the problem is an unintended consequence of a software update designed to prevent overheating. Despite following the dealership's instructions, the issue persists. For example yesterday during a...

Audio system and Apple CarPlay connectivity issues - the sound will suddenly turn on at full volume, which is not safe while operating the vehicle. Have taken the car to the dealership in NJ and PA and they are unable to provide a solution.

When going backwards, backup camera doesn’t work, either it becomes purple color or it shakes, then it works again, this happens occasionally and it increases risk of accident while going backwards

While driving at 10 degrees F outside and heater turned on, no heat comes out of vents or defroster.

The E-pedal was on. Trying to park car and it jumped the curb when it lurched forward and brakes would not engage so I had to hit a tree to stop the car.

On my 2022 Leaf I use the epedal system, which is supposed to operate as a one-pedal driving, meaning when you the car is in epedal mode, you can drive the car with one pedal. When you press the accelerator the car will move forward and when you let go of accelerator the car will come to a stop. However, sometimes the car does NOT come to a stop and it will coast as if the epedal is not engaged. This happens regardless of the batteries SOC (state of charge), weather, angle of the road, temperature, or road condition. When epedal is engaged and you lift off the accelerator, the car should always come to a stop, and it doesn't. This is dangerous because there have been many times where I have ran a stop sign or almost hit the car in front of me because I've had to slam...
