A case#33557927 was reported to Nissan Leaf consumer relation and a car was taken to a dealership at long beach Nissan(phone #562-264-400) to report a batter that is not holding charge and recently the car begin to lurch forward. Nissan was able to reproduce the issue. Nissan Corp should correct the battery and safety issue. So far, they have been professional and does not take any ownership to solve the problem. I request an email after the case was opened and they never send me the email. This issue involve safety and battery not holding charge. The battery is still under defective warranty. Nissan wants to put the vehicle on public road that is not safe. NHTSA board would agreed with me that Nissan acted irresponsibly should they go forward with not fixing the batter and the car lurching forward issue.

I was driving my 2012 Nissan Leaf on my morning commute to work, about a mile away from freeway and 3 miles away from home where I started, the car gave a alarm beep, and started decelerating. I pressed the accelerator but the car did not respond to that. Noticed the dash saying "I key system fault" the car coasted to a stop. I quickly turned on my hazard lights and tried to turn off/on the car but it kept on saying "I key system fault", after a few minutes of trying this I decided to push the car into a driveway to not cause a traffic jam, here I tried multiple times to turn off /on the car but it did nothing happened, it behaved like that as over an hour and half, even the same way without the fob, eventually the car was towed to the shop still on and is still being looked at by the technicians there. Pretty scary to have the car behave like this while driving. Cant imagine what could cause this failure and what could have happened if I were on the freeway. Will try and update with what happens next with the car.
