There are 2 owner-reported visibility & wipers complaints for the 2022 Nissan Leafin NHTSA's database. These are unverified consumer reports and may not reflect confirmed defects.
I was just at Empire Lakewood Nissan Dealership in Colorado on [XXX] for a few things. During my visit recall P4A17 was performed. I now notice on my drive in to work my heater isn't working now. It just blows cold air through the defroster and not at my feet as the HVAC indicator shows. I always have my auto climate feature set to 68 degrees F. It didn't finally come on until I'm almost to work. One of the best things about an electric car is I don't have to wait for the engine/coolant to warm up. My car was always warm by the time I left my neighborhood. Now I'm pulling into work and it's finally warm? What did P4A17 do to my car?

Heater will start to intermittently blow cold air when air temperatures are below ~18F. This started happening after I took vehicle in to fix recall P4A17 in December 2024. I had no issues prior to this recall "fix". In addition to being uncomfortable with cold air being blown on me at cold temperatures, this leads to the front and side windshields to start to fog up, impairing visibility. I have not taken it into a dealer to be examined as there are numerous reports already on-line that this is a known issue after the P4A17 "fix" and yet Nissan has not yet released an actual fix for the current problem of blowing cold air with cold temperatures. There are no warning lamps or messages.
