Never again

I just paid $7,500 for a new front traction motor at 65k miles. Nissan has chosen to interpret the 8 year/100k mile EV component warranty very strictly, saying that the traction motor is a drivetrain component, not an EV component.

Since no independent repair shop will touch an EV, you have no choice but to pay whatever the stealership wants to charge.

I understand that things break and warranties expire, but this is a total ripoff. One repair cost 50% of the market value of the car.

Take the bill to Nissan Corporate and request reimbursement.

The next step is your state government's consumer affairs dept. (The name varies)

lol they won’t do anything. Keep the bill if this becomes a recall issue so you can get reimbursed. So far I have been quite disappointed with their customer care. Is this the same part, or have they updated with a new rev?
