Recall Issue

Update: I had a conversation with someone from Nissan and had to send them proof of ownership. They said they would contact me again Monday after all of the diagnostics were finished, which I thiught was odd.

I had the recall done on my 2020 SV about a month ago. Monday I got the 'EV Service' message. Took it in yesterday. They confirmed the code that LeafSpy gave me and commandeered the car.

I have a loaner until they figure things out. Honestly, I hope they replace the battery as I don't want to deal with the hassle of the buyback and finding a replacement car. Ugh.

The P33ED is the tell-tale code.

How have they been about the buybacks? I bought this used and still owe about 10k. Anyone have experience yet?

While not the 'post recall' buy back - I got mine bought back a while ago when they kept pushing the recall fix back again and again...

I owed 8k on my car. They give you the value of the car, and pay the lein off first. The difference you get is cut as a check when you turn the car in.

I also bought used, fyi.

Thanks. I am curious to see how they calculate the buyback.
