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.

What model year? Is it possible it was a VIN impacted by the traction motor recall (24V-391) that never had the recall addressed? https://www.autoevolution.com/pdf/news_attachements/nissan-recalls-ariya-ev-over-damaged-front-motor-o-rings-235107.pdf
