I am running a 130 amp TYC alternator from a Nissan Titan. It's 100% bolt in. It's cheaper than the 110 amp stock one too, just over $100 on Amazon IIRC. I have used TYC alternators 3 times, never had any issues.
We just replaced the wife's X three weeks ago. Had the same problem you had with a battery light and brake light. Ended going to AutoZone when we were in vacation and got a Duralast Gold and had a local mechanic do the install.
I liked the tuning of the CVT better than the one in my wife's Kia, it was relatively headache-free.
He lifted the car up and identified that it was the outer bolt on the control arm. So I will replace the control arm myself on both sides. You only need to buy one part (per side) and the replacement is simple as shown here. If you want to check if you have the same issue, you must lift the car and pull down near the outer bolt on the control arm. Mine moves about a centimetre, meaning the ball inside is exhausted. It should not move at all.
My car came with dunlop enasave ec300 tires which have maxium pressure of 2,75 bar and proper tire pressure for Leaf would be 2,6-3,0.
I got a 2013 Altima... it’s at 170k miles and never had any mechanical issues. It’s all anecdotal but my experience was good
I've got a 2019 Murano with 97K no issues. Change the CVT fluid every 40K.
I'm in central Texas and the Leaf does just fine for in city driving. The batteries run hotter than a liquid cooled battery does of course but they are capable of operating at Texas summer temperatures. Where they struggle is on long highway trips. High speeds mean more load on the battery which also means more heat and more likely to have the car limit power due to battery temps. I have noticed that Leafs in Texas do tend to show more battery degradation and less capacity than leafs that are in cooler climate.
My 2018 rogue with 75k miles just shit the bed with the cvt transmission. Thank god they’re going to replace it for free or else it would’ve costed $6300 for that bs up here in Long Island.
I thought I was getting OEM Hitachi Reman for $275. And I pop the cap off, it's scraping on the coil tower. It's stamped Made in China, I could've gotten the same junk off RockAuto for $129 or so. It's going back.
