Mmmm interesting, u must have bought a lemon. I Bought a new Nissan Deisel Ute in 2018, been all over the country, does heaps of Ks and towing. Original Nissan battery is only just showing signs of needing replacement. I can't complain.
Pros: showing signs of replacement
Vehicle:

My Nissan Leaf battery, which everyone on Reddit with an electric car they bought yesterday is very sure will die any minute, has yet to lose any of its range after 6 years and 50k miles.
Pros: no range loss
Vehicle:
Nissan Leaf
Mileage: 80467 km
My 2015 Leaf has 148k on it and still drives like new. The battery is down to about 85% but this is pretty old lithium tech with very early thermal controls on it.
Pros: drives like new, low maintenance
Cons: battery down to 85%
Vehicle:
Nissan Leaf
Mileage: 148000 km

Pros: lasted 3 years
Cons: died within 6 months

My Nissan eats batteries, about every 2 years. Nissan brand or not. It just likes new ones I guess
Pros: likes new ones
Cons: eats batteries

San Antonio Leaf driver here, a Leaf is fine in Texas as long as you don't want to do road trips (battery heating gets to be an issue around 250 miles on a 40kWh on the interstate). This sub is overwhelmingly negative on the Leaf, despite it being a good local commuter.
Pros: fine for local commuter
Cons: battery heating on road trips
Vehicle:
Nissan Leaf

I went through the same last month. 2019 Nissan LEAF I bought as a Certified Used Car from a Nissan dealership out of state last year with only 6,998 miles on it. They included the Nissan Factory Wrap warranty and I also bought an extended power chain warranty ( with a really good discount) too. My car was 52 months old when I experienced the No Start condition due to the 12 volt battery.
Vehicle:
Nissan Leaf
Mileage: 11263 km
I have two Honda City and the first one had the battery changed after the first year, I knew this wasn't normal and Honda insisted that's perfectly normal.
It all boils down to the idling stop feature, to allow that feature these cars use a specific type of battery, but even then the idling stop completely destroys the battery, on top of being useless.
Cons: idling stop destroys battery
Vehicle:
Honda City
We're having the same issue on our 22 Pathfinder. We're on our second battery. The first was replaced under warranty in January '24 after failing and stranding my wife out of town in the cold. It took 6 hours of testing before they would approve replacement.
Cons: failed in the cold
Vehicle:
Nissan Pathfinder
