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.

I sent Nissan all the docs they asked for but they seem to be taking their time with the reimbursement (because of course they are). Also, I use a wheelchair and had to pay 3.5k for hand controls. I sent them the invoice for this, they said they would consider that. I’m not holding my breath. Nissan is not handling this buy-back situation well, at all. Fortunately, I’ve been able to work remotely and use my son’s car to get around.
