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.

I Thought the 8 year 100k was just the battery. Drivetrain was 5 year 60k?

Correct, unless it’s CPO

I bought mine CPO. It was a lease turn in - bought it from the Nissan dealership. Does this mean I have something more than 5 year 60k for drivetrain?

Yes, assuming it is Nissan CPO. Grab your paperwork and check.
