Cell pair test at the dealer shows I have about 6 cells in sequence that have changed dramatically since my last cell pair test in April. Nissan say it looks OK to them; they claim to have no clue what a GID is, don't know why I seem to think my pack is now at 84% (since their GOM bar dealy is now calibrated to apparently be able to get to like 80% before it looses a bar) and just tough crackers; deal with it.
Interesting, so this could be the case of a module or two going bye-bye. Thanks for sharing. Why would Nissan choose to not take action is another matter. Perhaps they are waiting for an additional trigger?
They are taking no action because they don't have to. I'm not below 7 bars.
The trigger you are referring to is below 9 bars, not below 7, but that is beside the point. You have a valid claim under the original 96 month/100K warranty no matter how many capacity bars are showing. The applicable restriction there is:
Quote:
Loss of battery capacity due to or resulting from gradual capacity loss is NOT covered under this warranty.
A 14% loss overnight is not gradual, and you apparently have the numbers to prove this is what happened. Naturally Nissan will claim not to know what a GID is, because that is a term we created here on the forum. But if you show a court that the numbers you are reporting came from the LEAF's OBDII, it will cross examine Nissan as to the meaning of that data and then back you up.

You should opt out of the settlement, go back to Nissan with technical data from garygid as to what you were reading, threaten a court case, and keep fighting.
