It seems like I can have confidence that Nissan will stand behind its car generally, but at what price? In other words, I'm beginning to learn about the company's promise (?) to replace batteries when capacity drops below 9 bars, but how long is that commitment good for and does it apply to used cars? No matter what, it's better than Fiat's absolute lack of any commitment short of complete battery failure, right?
Any confidence you might have in Nissan will likely be proved to be misplaced. Are you aware that the first purchasers of Leafs were forced to bring a class action suit against Nissan because of unreliable batteries? They got scant justice. Hundreds, maybe thousands, across the South were stuck with 30-50 mile cars that RAPIDLY depreciated. When I bought my 2011 Leaf, I had hope of using it 50+k miles for ~5 years, then putting in a better, larger, cheaper battery. Bad battery Leafs are now being essentially given away. Thats because one with a good battery is worth less than the cost of a new battery.
