More Leaf owners with battery problems say Nissan has abandoned them | CBC News

"A
story CBC published last week about a Juno-winning musician's "bricked" Nissan Leaf all-electric vehicle has generated a huge response.
People from across Canada and beyond shared similar stories about the breakdown of the popular EV model, and Nissan's inability or unwillingness to repair it.
That has prompted some to consider legal action.
Last week, Brian Sanderson described how his 2016 Leaf died five times last year. The dealer eventually towed the car back to his driveway in western Quebec, where it remains.
Sanderson spent nearly $10,000 on repairs last year, but the battery was never replaced because Nissan cannot provide a new one."
"Last December and again this month, a spokesperson for Nissan told CBC the company is "working diligently on a compatible replacement battery for the 30kW-h Lithium Ion Battery," which is no longer in production."
