Nissan Leaf start-up problems to be rectified

Nissan has said it will launch a voluntarily repair service campaign for its Leaf electric vehicle to address problems of some vehicles being unable to start, according to reports.

The company has received reports from Leaf owners where the car has failed to start, and will reprogram software in the Vehicle Control Module to address incorrect diagnosis programming.

Even though the glitch has only affected a small proportion of vehicles, Nissan says all 8,000 or so Leafs made in the US and Japan are covered by the repair service. The company says that this is not a safety-related issue (hence, it’s not officially tagged as a recall) and will not cause the vehicle to stop running while being driven, just that the car may not restart once it is off.

    my latio sport 1.6 also unable to start. when refer to nissan service they told me that nothing problem with engine, and advice me to replace my battery. my battery still ok, ….and i refused to change my battery.

    the problem is not the battery but the engine, when i try to start the engine will gave AAKKAAKKK sound, that mean my battery is ok.

    at last i sold my latio sport because the technician can’t gave the answer why my car engine unable to start.

        yes i am sure is not the battery problem, when the battery is out of order, normally the engine can’t be start and no sound of engine at all and the alarm will drigger.

        i call nissan (saleman) and they came to my house, he try to start the engine and still unable to start. and he try again with he leg keeps pumping oil pedal (pedal minyak), and the engine can start. he suggested to me better send my car to Nissan service to know what is the problem with the engine.

          Nope. I got faced battery flat on P2, toyota and Nissan, all having sound when I try to start, I am wondering your “no sound at all” statement is based on what?

          Did you do jump start? and did you check out the battery is in good condition?
