NISSAN LEAF 2013 car safety problem was reported on Mar 29, 2013.NISSAN LEAF 2013, manufactured by Nissan North America, Inc. had a problem with ENGINE . WHEN IN OPERATION THE CAR EMITS A HIGH PITCHED SOUND THAT AFTER DRIVING IT DAILY FOR 3 WEEKS CAUSES MY EARS TO CONSTANTLY RING AFTER DRIVING. NISSAN AND THE SERVICE CENTER CHECKED THE CAR AND DETERMINED THERE ARE NO ENGINE ERROR CODES AND THE CAR DRIVES GREAT. THEY DROVE THE CAR AND WERE NOT ABLE TO HEAR THIS HIGH PITCHED SOUND, YET I HEAR IT EVERY TIME I DRIVE IT AND I WORRY THAT IT MIGHT BE CAUSING AUDITORY DAMAGE OR BE GENERALLY UNHEALTHY. IT WOULD BE REASSURING TO HAVE THE FREQUENCY OF OPERATION CHECKED TO MAKE SURE THIS IS NOT OPERATING AT AN UNHEALTHY FREQUENCY/INTENSITY LEVEL. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 500 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):1N4AZ0CP4DC. Nissan Leaf 2013 problem was reported in FOREST RANCH, CA. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control.

NISSAN LEAF 2013 car safety problem was reported on May 29, 2013.NISSAN LEAF 2013, manufactured by Nissan North America, Inc. had a problem with ELECTRICAL SYSTEM . I WAS DRIVING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC ON THE 101 FREEWAY IN CAMARILLO, CA ON THE WAY TO WORK. CAR SUDDENLY FLASHED MULTIPLE CONFLICTING DIAGNOSTIC CODES (TRACTION CONTROL, BRAKE SYSTEM, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) AND REDUCED POWER TO THE CAR AND PUT IT IN TURTLE MODE. I WAS ABLE TO MOVE FROM THE MIDDLE LANE (OF THREE LANES) TO THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY AND CALLED NISSAN SERVICE. POWER WAS ONLY AVAILABLE TO THE DASHBOARD AND CAR WOULD NOT GO INTO FORWARD OR REVERSE. CAR WAS TOWED TO DEALER AFTER CALLING NISSAN ROAD SIDE ASSISTANCE. DEALER REPLACED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL PRESSURE SENSOR AND RETURNED CAR BACK TO ME AFTER CAR WAS IN SERVICE FOR THREE DAYS. CAR DROVE FINE FOR TWO DAYS ON VERY SHORT TRIPS. MY WIFE DROVE THE CAR AGAIN AND IT DIED AGAIN ON HIGHWAY 33 IN OJAI IN TOWN. SHE HAD NO POWER TO MOVE THE CAR OUT OF TRAFFIC. SHE POWERED DOWN THE CAR AND POWERED IT BACK UP AND WAS SURPRISED TO FIND THAT POWER WAS RESTORED. SHE WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT BACK HOME (ABOUT A MILE) AND WE HAD NISSAN ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE TOW IT BACK TO THE DEALER. CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP NOW FOR ALMOST TWO WEEKS. DEALER IS IN COMMUNICATION WITH THE FACTORY TO GET A NEW COMPUTER THAT CONTROLS THE POWER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM TO OTHER CAR COMPONENTS. HOWEVER, DEALER CANNOT GIVE US AN ESTIMATED DELIVERY DATE OF THE PART. IT SEEMS THEY MAY HAVE TO GET IT FROM JAPAN. DEALER IS VERY FRIENDLY BUT IS NOT ABLE TO GET CAR FIXED IN A TIMELY MANNER. I ALSO AM CONCERNED THAT THEY DON'T REALLY KNOW THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM. I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT IF THE PROBLEM HAPPENS AGAIN, EITHER MY WIFE OR I WILL GET INTO AN ACCIDENT ON THE FREEWAY. CAR WAS IS JUST A MONTH OLD WHEN THIS STARTED WITH NO OTHER APPARENT PROBLEMS. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 2600 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):1N4AZ0CP9DC.

I've owned this one over a year. Do the sliding doors not have sensors? My other 05' did. My 1 year old got her fingers caught, thank God it was nothing major, but it could have been.
