What Owners Say
"camera image was often completely black. This started a few weeks after I bought the car, used, from the Nissan dealership. I took it to the dealer and they said it required a software fix, but they had a devil of a time achieving that. Took several trips to the dealership over several weeks, but they eventually succeeded. Fortunately, it was covered by the 90-day used-car warranty, since they acknowledged the need for repair within the 90-day window, even if it took them longer than that to fix it. I bought the car in April of 2023 and the problem was resolved sometime that summer, as I recall."
Anonymous, MA (2019 Nissan Leaf Electric)"This has only happened 2-3 times in 9 mos. Not a substantial issue."
Anonymous A., IN (2019 Nissan Leaf Plus Electric)"The computer reboots unexpectedly, usually within 5 min of starting the car, several times per week. The dealership kept the car for 2 weeks "ordering parts" but the issue was not resolved. The issue is more of an inconvenience than anything so I gave up on having it fixed."
Anonymous A., CO (2019 Nissan Leaf Plus Electric)"The volume knob doesn't work for bluetooth devices; when turned, it sets the volume to zero, without exception. However the volume buttons on the steering wheel still work, so I use them instead."
Anonymous A., CO (2019 Nissan Leaf Plus Electric)"The GPS system would sometimes display the incorrect location of my vehicle on the map, showing me in a nearby field or on another road than the one I'm traveling on. It would sometimes correct itself after a while or correct itself after I restart the car."
Anonymous, OH (2019 Nissan Leaf Plus Electric)"When you try to turn the volume up or down the volume may jump several numbers up or down, but almost always goes down to zero. Usually it works ok for on and off, so I just use the steering wheel controls for volume. Also, if you turn off the volume when using CarPlay and then unplug your phone while the car is still on, usually the radio will start playing at about volume even though the sound was turned off. So then you have to turn off the sound again. I asked my dealer and they said its a known issue with no real solution yet."
Anonymous A., IN (2019 Nissan Leaf Plus Electric)"The volume control knob stopped working properly. When I turned the actual knob to adjust volume up or down, it would randomly go on full blast volume or cut out completely. I could only operate the volume on the entertainment system via the buttons on the steering wheel, which worked fine. The dealer told me that was a common issue, caused by dust particles that get inside the rotary knob assembly and cause random output signals. The dealer showed me a hack to ameliorate this issue: By rapidly turning the knob continously in one direction for about 30 seconds, then repeating the process going the other direction, one can restore functionality (at least temporarily). I did not choose to replace the infotainment system (that's the only real fix) because it was just out of warranty and I did not want to spend several thousand dollars to get a new unit on a car whose trade-in value is about $7000 as of now (May '24)"

"The backup camera would periodically stop functioning and display a blank, pink, or distorted image. It would work fine if I open and close the trunk lid again, and so seems to indicate a loose wiring of some sort. Nissan has recently in early 2024 sent a recall notice for this issue but has not provided a fix yet as of May 2024."
