2011-2017 Nissan Leaf: common problems and faults

In this short video, I will summarize the most common problems with the first generation of the Nissan Leaf, made between 2011 and 2017. This was the first mass-manufactured EV by Nissan, so, as expected, it does have a lot of common problems to talk about. But anyway, this is not the most problematic car in the world. And even now, in 2025, a lot of owners will drive these vehicles without many issues. Of course, there are still a lot of things you may want to know if you own this EV. I will focus on the problems that are reported a lot on forums and also share my own experience with this car. If you have any insights, please share them in the comments. You will help other owners and potential buyers learn more about this car on the practical side.
