Problem overview

Some Nissan Leaf owners report experiencing parking brake failures that can compromise vehicle safety, particularly on slopes. Common causes of these issues include corrosion and lack of use. Additionally, some owners find it necessary to check the brake pedal functionality, inspect the shift lock release mechanism, and ensure the battery is in good condition, as these factors can affect parking brake operation. In cases where the parking issue is related to a connector change, it is crucial to have the connector inspected and replaced by a qualified technician. Some owners also note the importance of staying informed about recall notices, as past reports have highlighted problems with the automatic gear shifter. If parking brake issues persist, seeking professional assistance is recommended to ensure proper diagnosis and resolution.
