What are some common problems owners face with their Nissan Leaf?

I recently bought a used Nissan Leaf and I'm noticing a few issues. The battery seems to drain quickly and the regenerative braking isn't as smooth as I expected. Is this something I should be concerned about? What other common issues should I watch out for?

Hi Mary, congrats on your new Leaf! As with any used car, it's important to get a thorough inspection before purchasing. The battery and regenerative braking issues you mentioned could be a sign of a bigger problem. Make sure to have a mechanic check it out.

Hey Mary, don't panic just yet. These issues could be due to a simple software update or calibration. Take it to your nearest Nissan dealership and have them run a diagnostic test.

In my experience with Nissan Leafs, the fan motor tends to fail after a few years. Keep an eye on your vehicle's temperature gauge and if you notice it running hot, it's likely time to replace the fan motor.
