So I bought my used 2023 Nissan Ariya a month ago. I was driving home with a full battery and not a care in the road. Then I felt it. My vehicle starts slowing down on the interstate while everyone else is gassing up to get back to 70, I’m dropping down to a 40 then a 30 then a 10. I’m scared, I turn my emergency lights on, and I start to get over on the side of the road. My screen states the obvious, my vehicle is slowing down then gives me time to get off the interstate and the next exit before it gives me a cute little green turtle and a warning signal. I’ve never seen it before and for some reason, I can’t seem to find my manual. I’m stuck on the side of a busy street now, cars coming at me on the side of a curve no one can see around and I’m on the phone with 911 first. Of course, when he gets to me I finally am able to move to a good spot where I’m no longer feeling like I’m going to die, but has anyone ever experienced this? I got it towed to Nissan of course but they gave me a shit excuse of my “coolant is leaking on my radiator which needs to be replaced” but that’s never been shown on my driveway, my job, or even the spot I broke down on. My wife believes it’s the battery which is a 12v, obviously, and as far as I know has never been changed before.

Long part of the story:

I have a ‘23 Ariya that has recently been in the shop for about 45 days. The issue was the rear wheels were cambered severely and caused the wheels to wear quickly in the corners. They replaced the rear springs which took about 25 days since the parts were on order. After replacing could not get the rear to align with new springs. They sent it to a body shop to get measurements on the subframe and it’s been there for about a week and a half. Contacted today and they are now waiting for confirmation in order to order the parts and start the work on potentially replacing the subframe. I contacted Nissan Corporate in order to ask for a gas card/reimbursement since I’m driving a gas car and have spent about $150. They didn’t seem like they were going to try for the gas so I brought up the lemon law which for Colorado states if it’s in the shop for more than 30 days(This was just a quick google search and a couple articles I don’t know if there are any loopholes or information I’m missing). So instead of a gas card they are now starting the “claim” for a lemon.

My big question is should I reach out to an attorney or just wait for Nissan to make their discussion? Also has anyone had any experience with Nissan for situations like this?

Thanks in advance.

$29,000 with 13k miles 2024 Is this a good price also give me a AGM battery replacement. Any thing else I should worry about?

I've noticed a buzzing noise while accelerating in my 2023 Empower+. It wasn't there 9 months ago when I bought it. I've likened it to an angry mosquito or cicadas.

Finally had a chance to take it in today. Apparently the sound was the reduction gear motor and it needs to be replaced. Thankfully it's covered under powertrain warranty BUT they said it's going to take at least a week because of the labor and of course needing to get the part.

So, if you've heard the same, definitely get it checked! Gonna miss my car 😭 I have to drive a stupid gas powered loaner in the meantime.

Sad day. My beautiful Ariya was waiting in the parking lot for me, minding her own business, when some guy who can't drive hit her 3 times. All caught on my Viofo A229. Cops came and when I told them I had front and back dashcams, they said oh ok no need for witnesses it is open and shut. Give the video to your insurance and they'll handle it from there. Get your dashcams!

Hi everyone!

Some of you might recognize the name—I’ve been working with a group of r/NissanAriya testers over the last few weeks to refine WattLog, and today it’s officially live on the Google Play Store!

What is it?

I’m an Ariya owner myself and a UX developer. I got tired of trying to track my real-world efficiency and gas savings in clunky spreadsheets. WattLog uses your phone’s camera to "scan" your Drive Computer summary right before you charge.

How it works:

• Snap & Sync: Point your phone at the dash. OCR happens entirely on your device—your photos never leave your phone.
• Cost Comparisons: If you input your local charging costs, the app calculates exactly how much you’re saving compared to gas prices in your specific region.
• Data Sovereignty: Your data is yours. You can download your entire log history as a CSV whenever you want.
• Trends: It automatically generates insights on your mi/kWh and cost-per-mile trends over time.

The Roadmap (What's coming next):

• Household Sharing: My #1 requested feature. My wife and I both drive the car; soon we’ll be able to contribute to the same vehicle log and see combined household stats via a "digital handshake."
• Multiple Vehicle Tracking: Manage your whole EV fleet in one spot.
• iOS Version: It’s in the works! My only iOS device is an old iPad, so I’m working on porting the logic as we speak.
• API Integration: Proactive logging for other makes/models via direct vehicle APIs.

I want to thank the Redditors here who helped me through the 14-day beta. You guys squashed dozens of bugs and helped me circle the globe 116 times in simulated data!

Check it out here: WattLog on Google Play

I’d love to hear your feedback or feature requests. I’m building this for us, so tell me what you want to see next!

Hi Ariya folks....

My wife and I have been considering an EV for our next family car, with gas prices what they are. Additionally the lower maintenance and cost to own overall is just appealing and would fit in with our lifestyle. I WFH and drive a GTI around 3k miles per year, and my wife commutes about 30 miles per day in an SUV that averages around 20MPG....so an EV would fit in pretty nice!

We've considered everything, but we keep coming back to the Ariya... lots of preowned examples out there at a good price. I'm aware it doesn't have the fastest charging, but everything else about it we really like. One thing that keeps confusing me though, is the warranty, and I've gotten conflicting answers online and calling around to dealers. Does the 8 year government mandated battery warranty include propulsion/electric motor, or not? Would most of the potential issues to worry about fall under this, or just the normal "powertrain warranty"? I understand it could be a "just depends" answer, but just looking for a little feedback from owners on it.

Not a huge Elon or Tesla fan (before even his recent shenanigans, I've always had a bad taste in my mouth after he sued Top Gear for libel way back in 2011), but there's no denying their cars have some major perks, including being pretty up front about their 8-year warranty covering most of the critical components. I'd like to own the car for a while, and despite EVs generally being more reliable, I'd like to not be stuck with some major repair I've read some horror stories about.

Well, after just over 2 years of owning an Ariya pretty much pain free (bar the replacement of the brake shims due to a horrible metal accessing sound when I drove it) it completely died on me yesterday.

I had popped out to pick my daughter up from school in it and all was fine. About 30 minutes later I came out to put a suitcase in the boot. Pushed the boot open button on the fob and up popped the boot. i then went to push the close button and nothing. No beeps, just silence.

Checked the doors and bonnet. All fine. Was able to lock and unlock the doors using the key, so I got into the driver's seat and tried to start the car. Nothing. No dash lights or anything. It kept flashing up telling me to put key near the start button to start but still wouldn't start. Tried the spare key and same story.

Anyway, I used my wife's car to take my daughter to her residential and when I got back I tried the Ariya again. As soon as I opened the door the alarm started going off. I got in and was able to start the car, but the alarm continued to go off so I closed the door, locked it and called breakdown cover.

They turned up this morning and after not being able to work out what was going on, they got me to drive the car to the second choice Nissan dealer, as the one closest to me refused to take it, so I had to drive about 10 miles with the alarm and hazards going off to get it to the dealers.

The weird thing was that on the way the alarm stopped going off and I could move whilst driving, as the internal proximity sensors seemed to sort themselves out. However if I stopped at a junction and pulled off again, the alarm would start going off.

Got it to the dealers and gave them the keys.

I went to have one final check in the car to make sure I hadn't left anything in there, and what do you know? The alarm didn't go off.

I've left it with the dealer and they're looking at it on Monday.

Battery reset was done by the breakdown guy on my driveway but obviously made no difference.

Absolutely no errors on the dash when the alarm was going off and literally nothing when it was initially dead.

I haven't used any public chargers since about 5 weeks ago, and I always just use my granny charger at home.

I thought I'd got lucky after being clear of issues for over 2 years, but here we are...

Hello,

I am very eager to jump into the Ariya family and really love the platinum trim but the only one available in my city (Vegas) is at a high price point it feels like. I'm not sure if its worth getting or waiting and hoping for the price to come down in the following weeks/months. (Or if something like the upcoming memorial day holiday would even make a difference)

I've only ever bought one other car that i've been driving since 2019 so I know i'm not the best judge of a good price or not so thought id ask y'all who have made this jump previously.

Also pre approved for my loan and have plenty for down payment just don't know if its a good deal.

What’s better:

1. A dealer demo Nissan Ariya Evolve (The Top-Spec AWD one) for $57,990 (About 7,000km on the Odometer)

2. A brand new BYD Sealion 7 Premium

Both on a novated lease.

I don’t care about new screen tech, CarPlay is sufficient!

The main thing I car about is ride handling and space in the rear seats for a family of 4.

New owner of a 2023 Ariya Empower+ and have loved it except for 1 major issue: it will not charge at our home.

We have a level 1 charger that came with the car when we bought it in early April. We tested it in a relative's garage with a 120v outlet and everything went smoothly.

In early May we moved into our own single family home with a garage. When we plug the same charger into the same Ariya from the different garage outlet it only beeps and the charge light flashes red for a decent amount of time and sends me a message that it failed to charge from the app. I tried turning it on in the app and it failed. I tried setting a schedule for it and it failed. I tried the bypass schedule button and it failed. I tried deleting all schedules and it failed.

I checked my outlets and they work with a tester showing 119v-120v.

It will charge at a commercial fast charger, but I know doing that is more expensive and worse for the battery health so I don't want to do that.

I then took it into the dealer and they tested the car, charger, and other level 1 chargers with the car and it all worked there. They advised I need to turn off any charger schedules and it will work.

I took it back home today and it still has a red blinking charge light and beep and message in the app stating it failed.

I can't seem to find anything except a post on this subreddit about a year ago with a similar issue, but the poster never got an answer.

I’ve basically pulled the trigger on a 24 Venture plus with 19k miles.. I put a $500 deposit but haven’t signed anything yet. I’m starting to feel like I might be missing out on all the extra comforts that say the Engage+ or Empower have. I come from a bare bones base model Toyota car that’s about 15 years old so not like I’ve been riding in Luxury anyway.

Am I overthinking it?
