This happens every time we drive the same section of road, which is usually twice a week. Internet research suggests other nissan leaf owners have had the same issue and at altitude, and that it may be a issue with compression and expansion of the battery case. I have reported this before, but am reporting it again as it continues to occur. *tr”Owner report · Unknown Or Other · May 2020
