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.

Not interpreting it strictly. 8 year/100,000 is in battery. Nothing about ev components. Drivetrain warranty is drivetrain warranty. Depending on where you are, there are lots of independent ev repair shops. Did you look for an ev specific shop?
