The 12V battery failed and it smelled like rotten eggs releasing toxic fumes. I've been researching this is a common issue on the nissan ariya 2023.

On [XXX], my vehicle experienced a severe malfunction while charging at an EVgo station located at the [XXX] shopping center on the Olson 350kW charger. Upon attempting to operate the vehicle after the charging session, the "EV System Off" warning triggered, causing a total failure of the vehicle to engage its powertrain. Mind you, the charge got the vehicle to 96%. A subsequent inspection revealed that the vehicle's original 12V auxiliary battery had dropped to a critically low 10 V while the car itself remained at 96%. Even after jumpstarting the car and completely replacing the failed unit with a brand new battery from AutoZone, the persistent error message remained, indicating a deeper…

Following a manufacturer-authorized warranty repair on the reduction gear, the front subframe and suspension mounting hardware were left unsecured. An authorized Nissan dealership inspected the vehicle, reproduced the issue, and officially confirmed that these critical structural components are loose. The vehicle exhibits severe mechanical clunking and knocking noises, which began immediately after the initial repair. Operating the vehicle with a loose subframe creates an imminent risk of component separation or sudden loss of steering control. The vehicle is fully intact and available for immediate inspection upon request.

My Nissan Ariya has an abnormal, high-pitched, cicada-like noise during acceleration. The noise appears to be associated with the electric propulsion system, electric motor, reduction gear, or another related drivetrain component, although the exact source has not been diagnosed. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request, and I can demonstrate the noise under the conditions in which it occurs. The abnormal noise raises concern about a potential defect in the vehicleâs electric propulsion or drivetrain system. If the noise is caused by a failing component, the underlying issue could potentially worsen and affect vehicle operation while driving. This is particularly concerning…

My 2023 Nissan Ariya was making a cicada/whining sound under low acceleration. This was found by my local Nissan dealer to be a defect with the reduction gear. The dealership replaced the reduction gear under the powertrain warranty. This issue was present at just under 50,000 miles. Without replacement, the component could fail entirely leading to a total loss of power to the wheels, posing a safety risk while driving. There were no warning lamps on or any indication of a failing component other than the sound getting gradually louder. It took some research to figure out if the sound was normal or not. If I had not researched and inquired with my dealer, the problem would have gone…

A 2023 Nissan Ariya developed a grinding/noise condition. An initial dealership repair did not correct it. The vehicle was promptly returned. Subsequent diagnosis involved the traction-motor/drivetrain area, and Nissan ultimately authorized substantial warranty work involving replacement/repair of the traction motor and associated components. The vehicle remained out of service for an extended period while additional leakage was reportedly identified.
