"Broke 3 times in just over 2 years"
Anonymous, CA (2013 Nissan Leaf S Electric)"No a/c"
Anonymous, MA (2013 Nissan Leaf S Electric)"A/C weakened and then stopped working. Needed a part replaced by dealer. Covered by warranty"
Leslie H., OR (2013 Nissan Leaf S Electric)"It quit working. Took it in to be serviced, completely covered by warranty, no problems since"
Anonymous, WA (2013 Nissan Leaf S Electric)"Ironically, leaves got into the area between the windshield and hood, and they clogged up the fan blower causing it to need replacements"
Anonymous, VA (2013 Nissan Leaf SL Electric)"Stopped working and Nissan replaced it without charge and lent me a car while mine was in the shop"
Anonymous, TN (2013 Nissan Leaf SV Electric)"Fan got very noisy. It is now at the shop to be replaced"
Anonymous, HI (2013 Nissan Leaf Unsure Electric)"Leaking water into cabin, diagnostics gave dealer a code for cracked housing, cost to replace 2,300.00. Along with water dripping at passenger floor and musty odor the air conditioner doesn't control condensation/ humidity well - all windows fog up inside under various conditions, like rain or cold. Did not fix...use air conditioner only for short periods...."
Anonymous, FL (2013 Nissan Leaf Unsure Electric)"Complete failure"
Anonymous, IN (2013 Nissan Leaf SL Electric)"The blower came on but no hot air came out just cold air"
Kellie K., WA (2013 Nissan Leaf SV Electric)"Heater system is electric and some component failed. Repaired under warranty. My nearest dealer had no technician certified to work on this system so I had to go to the nearest big city dealer - fortunately within driving range on full charge. Of course fully charge by dealer at no cost to me for trip home"
Peter G., AL (2013 Nissan Leaf S Electric)"Heater system stopped working. Recalled. Replaced without charge. BUT had to reschedule the time for repair multiple times because of Nissan's difficulties getting the part(s)"
R B., MO (2013 Nissan Leaf SL Electric)"Stopped working"
Anonymous, TX (2013 Nissan Leaf S Electric)"Heater first worked poorly and then stopped blowing hot air"
Barry W., NJ (2013 Nissan Leaf S Electric)"Heater unit stopped working; replaced under warranty"
John T., IL (2013 Nissan Leaf S Electric)"heater unit failed, replaced under warranty"
Anonymous, CO (2013 Nissan Leaf SL Electric)"Heater anemic and hot air stops before car gets very warm. Two attempts to fix it by dealer failed; we gave up"
Thomas N., CA (2013 Nissan Leaf SL Electric)"The heater element went out during the (literally) coldest week of the year. I was without heat for 2 days. Fortunately Nissan provided a gas powered loaner car which could provide copious heat!"
Han R., WA (2013 Nissan Leaf S Electric)"Heater did not function. Only blew cold air. Dealership repaired at no charge but kept car for 2 and 1/2 days"
R B., MO (2013 Nissan Leaf SL Electric)"The heater coil failed.It took over 3 weeks to be repaired due to lack of parts"
Anonymous, MI (2013 Nissan Leaf SV Electric)"This was a factory recall. Fixed at no cost"
Anonymous, IL (2013 Nissan Leaf S Electric)"Large leak in one of the hoses. The A/C did not work at all."
Mark F., AZ (2013 Nissan Leaf S Electric)"Design of climate control system apparently was faulty. Refrigerant line connection would not accommodate normal movement of components and cracking occurred resulting in loss of refrigerant. Repaired under warranty"
Peter G., AL (2013 Nissan Leaf S Electric)"Refrigerant leaks twice in first three years of lease"
Anonymous, HI (2013 Nissan Leaf S Electric)"One day I noticed the air conditioner would not turn on the compressor. I took it to the dealer, they claim to have replaced a hose, which was last October. Has worked since, so they successfully repaired it"
B D., HI (2013 Nissan Leaf S Electric)"One of the hoses has been replaced twice for the same problem"
Anonymous, CA (2013 Nissan Leaf S Electric)"hose leak"
Anonymous, HI (2013 Nissan Leaf S Electric)"Car was about 6 months old, a/c blew hot air. High pressure hose leaked, cracked at the condenser connection, a/c oil was empty"
Libby B., TX (2013 Nissan Leaf S Electric)"A cracked pipe meant that refrigerant was leaking out, so the cooling system didn't work during warm summer weather, and the dehumidifying system didn't work to clear windows during a wet fall and winter"
Anonymous, WA (2013 Nissan Leaf S Electric)"A/C quit blowing cold air. Nissan replace some lines under warranty. Seems OK now"
Michael S., TX (2013 Nissan Leaf S Electric)"AC stopped working, dealer repaired under warranty, believed they said a hose or hoses were leaking, replaced freon, works fine now"
H M., VA (2013 Nissan Leaf SL Electric)"All of the AC refrigerant leaked out due to a design flaw that I was told has been addressed on newer models. Was covered under warranty but took a day to get fixed with an update part to prevent it from happening again"
Anonymous, GA (2013 Nissan Leaf SL Electric)"Metal high pressure freon tubing has a weak connection that causes the refrigerant to leak out. Nissan is aware of the problem, has an after market conversion kit to fix the problem, and does the repair for free. The repair 3 months ago is working"
