Electrical System

Fuel/Propulsion System
73 of the 412 complaints (17%) mention the fuel system. Fuel system problems can cause stalling, hard starts and poor mileage. We test fuel delivery and related sensors to find the real cause. See our no-start diagnostics and check engine light diagnostics pages.

Keeping a Nissan Leaf Plus Reliable in Phoenix
Arizona heat is the hardest test a Nissan will face. Batteries, belts, hoses, tires and engine oil all wear faster here, and a Leaf Plus that spends its life in stop-and-go Valley traffic needs maintenance earlier than the owner's manual's normal schedule suggests.
Our recommendation for Leaf Plus owners: follow the severe-service schedule, test the battery before every summer, inspect brakes and tires twice a year, and have any warning light diagnosed instead of ignored. If you are shopping for a used Nissan Leaf Plus, a pre-purchase inspection shows what the paperwork does not.
