and causes j1772 to be unable to charge it anymore subsequently getting a charge in a pinch leads to really needing a tow truck!! B. The range on the battery drops drastically on a regular day to day drive... The other day I left for a 4.5Mile trip with 17miles on gom and by time I drove 2 miles range went down to 11miles. Before I was 1/2 way low battery indicator went off and ~1.5Miles to home very low battery kicks in. - I believe the car gom always over estimates the range to what I'm able to drive. It can never drive up to the suggested range so I must have either a bad battery or a faulty battery management module of some sorts ???

away. This issue occurred once a year. I didn't think much of it. It is now happening once a week in the past two months. Someone can get hurt in the worst case scenario. I believe the warning light should remain on until the issue is resolved. I noticed the issue happens when the climate is hot and I am driving with the ac on. The battery temperature is in the safe zone. Nissan didn't take it seriously. I took a picture of it.

When driving our 2017 nissan leaf electric vehicle at about 65 mph up a steep hill / steep incline, we are experiencing a loud clunk from the battery area when the vehicle climbs over 2000ft elevation within a short distance (16 miles). The clunk always happens within the same 1 mile stretch of road and happens every time we drive the car from salt lake city, ut (4,226 feet) to summit park, ut (6,887 feet). We first noticed it this summer 2019. There is an audible clunk and it can be felt through the passenger...

foot-well behind the driver's seat. There is a thread on the mynissanleaf.Com discussion forum that describes the same issue (http://www.Mynissanleaf.Com/viewtopic.Php?F=30&t=19883&p=565545#p565545). The contributors think it has something to do with the electric battery case expanding or contracting under pressure. I'm planning on letting the nissan dealership know and pointing them to the discussion forum (the discussion information is here: http://www.Mynissanleaf.Com/viewtopic.Php?F=30&t=19883&p=565545#p565545)
