The contact owns a 2020 Nissan Leaf. The contact stated while driving approximately 50 MPH in the rain, a tree branch fell and struck the passenger-€™s side of the vehicle causing the air bags to deploy. The contact stated that he lost control of the vehicle when the air bags deployed. Additionally, the vehicle lost steering and braking functionality. There was an unknown warning light illuminated during the failure. The vehicle then lost electrical and motive power and rolled to a complete stop. There was no injury sustained. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic and was still awaiting the needed repairs. Neither a dealer nor the manufacturer had been contacted or notified of the failure.

Leaf

  • 9,570 miles
On several occasions in both rural and Suburban environments, regardless of weather temperature outside and during normal forward driving motion, the car reports that the forward camera overheats and immediately renders the collision avoidance system and propilot inoperative. Dash lights picture included.1st overheating occurrence happened on April 15, 2020 and the after 2 more occurrences I took a picture on July 6, 2020. Nissan service refuses to acknowledge this as a safety issue and dismisses the issue when I request service, stating that it is "normal operation."
