2022 Nissan Leaf: problems, recalls and reliability

“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.”Owner report · Service Brakes · May 2026

“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.”Owner report · Unknown Or Other · Apr 2026

“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.”Owner report · Electrical System · Mar 2026

“There has been a recall on my vehicle for months now, and previously there was a recall on other nissan leafs for over a year at this point before they branched out to include my vehicle. In the contract I signed to purchase my vehicle, I was stated to have access to tier 3 charging. I am unable to do that currently, and I do not live close to a tier 2 charger, so I am forced to use my tier 3 charging. They say not to do that, so I am left with a vehicle that I am unable to use, and have been for months. I iniated a buyback, but they declined it.”Owner report · Fuel/Propulsion System · Dec 2025
