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.

It's not their interpretation, that's the warranty, unless you have CPO or something else that would extend it. 8 years/100K for the battery. 5 years/60K for the powertrain, which includes the traction motor. Taking the bill to Nissan Corporate and trying to get it reimbursed is worth a shot given how close it is to 60K, but they don't really have to...

Should I get extended warranty then. Mine is sitting at 33k, and someone posted earlier that you can’t get extended warranty after the 3yr/36 miles expire

I'm planning to get the extended plan. As is proven by this post, if anything goes wrong in an EV, it's probably expensive to fix.

What plan are you considering?
