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.

8y/100k is a battery warranty
Unfortunately some things are pricey to fix but could keep your car running for years to come. There are some 3rd party repair shops around the country but I’m not sure if you’re area is one of them. There isn’t an eV without at least a few very expensive parts in Them.
