Nissan ARIYA — Recalls, Reliability, Specs & VIN Decoder

While charging my 2025 Nissan Ariya at an Electrify America DC fast charger, the vehicle failed to complete the charging “handoff” between the charger and the car. The charging station instructed me to disconnect and reconnect, but after multiple attempts, the system failed to establish a proper connection. Immediately after this, the entire vehicle shut down and became completely inoperable. This was the third occurrence of the same system failure since purchase, despite the vehicle having only ~11,377 miles. I contacted Nissan Roadside Assistance, and the vehicle had to be towed. The service technician at the selling dealer (Findlay Nissan, Henderson, NV) stated that another 2025 Ariya was towed from the same Electrify America location one day prior for the exact same issue. The dealer confirmed that the vehicle required a technician reset to restart the system but stated that this was not covered under warranty. A Nissan technician informally advised me to document and report this issue immediately due to repeated failures related to DC fast charging.

We pulled up to an EVGO Charging station with 27% battery charge & 57 miles available. When we hooked up to the charging station it didn't recognize the vehicle & advised to detach & reconnect. We repeated this step 5 times before calling EVGO customer support. They rebooted the charging station & discovered it was the vehicle malfunctioning. My 2025 with only 764 miles on it read EV System Off. The entire car is an EV & it would not start. We couldn't move the vehicle out of the way for others to charge so they parked as close as they could to use the charging station. I contacted Nissan customer support for a tow and AAA called me back charging me $533.50 to tow directly to Riverside Service department to honor the extended warranty. 3hrs later I called AAA back waiting to be picked up & I was informed that they were not responsible for transporting people. We got stranded in Baker with my [XXX] mom with [XXX] & my [XXX] son for 8 hrs because no rideshare would pick up the fair. We had to contact our daughter in Vegas to pick us up to take us home in Riverside CA 232 miles one way arriving at 1am. For 2 days Nissan did not contact me so I had to show up in person to verify my vehicle was there. The service manager made every excuse for the car breaking down to avoid liability. He first blamed the EVGO charging station & then tried to convince me it was just a 12volt dead battery saying I can take the car back the same day to avoid a buy back due to the Lemon Law. The car wouldn't charge to run a diagnostic so he loaned me a rental. He told AAA that the car was a buyback to approve repairs for the damage the tow did when transporting the car to Riverside Nissan. The service manager made this the issue instead of the EV System Off Mechanical failure. After the Damage was approved the same day Nissan called me to pick up my car without ever giving me a diagnostic for why it shut down. Nissan lied to AAA & tried charging me a $35 daily rental fee.

Component or system that failed: Electric Drive System / Charging System / Software – repeated failure displaying “EV System Off” message, rendering vehicle inoperable. Description of incident: This is the second time within 30 days that my 2025 Nissan Ariya (VIN: [XXX] ) has completely shut down and become undriveable. On [XXX], while attempting to use a DC fast charger at Electrify America (1150 E Flamingo Rd, Las Vegas, NV), the vehicle failed to begin charging. After a few attempts, the dash displayed “EV System Off” and the car could not be restarted or shifted into gear. It had to be towed again — same as the incident on [XXX], which occurred under nearly identical circumstances. Safety risk: This failure left me stranded twice, with no warning or ability to drive. Had this happened on a freeway or in a rural area, it could have been dangerous. The dealer has only reset the vehicle each time with no resolution. Reproduction and inspection: The issue was inspected by Findlay Nissan Henderson. They stated that other Ariya owners have reported similar failures, especially after using Electrify America stations, and implied it may be a compatibility issue — yet this is not publicly disclosed by Nissan. I have charged successfully at Electrify America many times before, and the same charger worked immediately after my failure. Warning signs: No warning lights appeared before the failure. The “EV System Off” message appeared suddenly after connecting to the charger. Summary: This is a critical systems failure that recurs, impacts safety, and limits reliable use of the vehicle. I request this be formally investigated for a potential design or software flaw. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

3 days after purchasing the vehicle the forward collision warning light and rear cross traffic light came on. The forward collision light warning also came and and deactivated my cruise controls. It was taken back to the dealer for a diagnostic which was unsuccessful and did not show any errors. The car was given back to us and 3 days later while my wife was taking the kids to school, the same errors occurred plus the dashboard went dark, and the driver's seat inflating back rest started to inflate and deflate. The car was taken back to the dealer and has been there for close to a week. I was given a call by the Nissan Service Representative stating that they will be replacing the forward assist part.

The car was purchased new from the Nissan dealer at the end of Dec 2024 with 100miles, and currently has 5,798 miles on the odometer. The 12v battery failed, unable to be charged and hold a charge, this disabled the the EV from starting and functioning. The tow truck driver had to use a battery booster/charger to provide enough power to enable the control panel to be accessed, but not start the EV system. The EV lithium battery showed a charge capacity of 37%. With some luck the tow technician was about to get the vehicle to go into Neutral and move the vehicle so it could be put on the flatbed tow-truck. Surprised and concerned that the 12v battery failed without warning and within such a short amount of time from new car purchase.

EV system failure when starting trip created car that could move sluggishly but was unable to perform. Car has 120 miles on OD

The vehicle’s EV system and related electrical components appear to be malfunctioning, causing repeated “EV System Off” error messages and rendering the vehicle inoperable. The vehicle is currently at the dealership and available for inspection upon request. The defect created a significant safety risk because the vehicle became unreliable and could unexpectedly fail to operate, leaving me stranded and without dependable transportation. This placed both myself and others at risk, especially if the failure occurred while driving or in traffic. Yes, the issue has been repeatedly reproduced and confirmed by the Nissan dealership. The vehicle has been towed to the dealership approximately five times for the same or substantially similar issue, and multiple repair attempts and part replacements have been made. The vehicle has been inspected by the Nissan dealership and Nissan Consumer Affairs has been notified on multiple occasions. Repairs and diagnostics were performed between March 20, 2026 and April 10, 2026, and the same issue reoccurred again on May 19, 2026. Yes, warning messages appeared prior to the failures, specifically the “EV System Off” warning message. These symptoms first began prior to the initial repair period in March 2026 and have continued to reoccur despite repair attempts.

At low speeds after startup, the car automatically shifts from drive into neutral. The car will be locked in neutral, not letting you put it in park, drive, or reverse. To get the car back into drive, you must come to a complete stop, turn the car off, back on, and floor the accelerator. Failure to floor the accelerator will lead to the car getting stuck in neutral again. I have pulled out into traffic on numerous occasions and had the car die in the middle of the road, forcing me to come to a stop and fully turn it back on, sometimes multiple times. No warning messages appear.

The car was unable to move when started up and displayed a warning that said "Service EV system." The car is within the initial 3 year warranty and has under 20,000 miles.

DEFECTIVE COMPONENT & FAILURE MODE The vehicle suffered a failure in the 12-volt battery system, potentially involving the DC-to-DC Converter or the associated charging logic. This malfunction caused the lead-acid 12V battery to be severely overcharged and boiled while the vehicle was plugged in and parked. CATASTROPHIC SAFETY HAZARD The failure resulted in the release of highly toxic and flammable gases into an enclosed residential space (my garage), posing an immediate, life-threatening risk: TOXIC GAS POISONING: The boiling battery released a massive amount of Hydrogen Sulfide gas, identified by the distinctive, strong rotten-egg odor. H2S is a cellular asphyxiant and is fatal at high concentrations. EXPLOSION/FIRE RISK: The boiling battery also released highly flammable Hydrogen H2 gas, creating an explosion hazard inside the closed structure of the home. CHRONOLOGY OF EVENTS Tues, 11/11/25 (approx. 5:00 PM): Noticed strong rotten-egg smell in the garage while the vehicle was charging. 5:30 PM: Called local gas company due to fear of a gas leak. 6:30 PM: The smell was still strongly detectable, indicating dangerous lingering concentrations. Suspecting the car, immediately unplugged. 7:00 PM: Identified the car as the source and moved the immobilized vehicle outside. 9:05 PM: Contacted Poison Control due to chemical inhalation/exposure risk. (immediate / risk of delayed symptoms). MANUFACTURER CONTACT & CURRENT STATUS Manufacturer Contact: I have notified Nissan Consumer Affairs of the safety hazard and received Case Number: 55990119. Current Status: The vehicle is currently immobilized and will be sent to dealership for repair. The defective components (battery and converter) are intact. Medical Status: I sought medical consultation and am monitoring for delayed neurological or respiratory effects (pulmonary edema) known to occur after H2S exposure.

1/18/2025 EV SYSTEM SHOT OFF, Car is totally malfunction, can't accelerate and stop in the middle of FWY-15, CA, Can't turn it back on. We are at speed 70-80 mph and no warning, suddenly the EV System shut off, only take 3-5 second and fully stop in the middle of I-15 FWY at Barstow, CA. Had AAA tow service and front camera clip. this is a recall level malfunction!

The contact owns a 2023 Nissan Ariya. The contact stated that while driving approximately 40 MPH, the vehicle unexpectedly lost motive power. The contact became aware of smoke coming from the engine compartment. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed that oil was leaking from the vehicle, causing the engine to fail. The contact was informed that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact later went to the dealer; however, the vehicle was not taken to the dealer for a diagnostic test. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 60,000.

This is the fourth time this has happened to us during normal driving. I pulled out onto a highway and suddenly with no prior warning, the car lost all power and went into what I can only describe as a "limp mode" and wouldn't go above 5 mph. I had to quickly pull off the road as traffic was catching up at highway speed. The dashboard flashed "Malfunction, see owners manual" and we had an orange triangle with an exclamation point as well as a circle with exclamation point with a wrench next to it. The traction control light and car with exclamation point were also lit up. After limping to a cross road we turned the car completely off for 5 min and when we restarted it, it worked normally. The same thing happened July 25, 2024 and I had the car in the dealership. They said they could not recreate the issue even though I showed them video of the dashboard acting strangely. The service manager said he believed something had blocked the front bumper sensor and that it should be fine now. We have already performed both software updated recalls and since then, it has happened to us twice more. The battery was at around 80%, had just been driven by my wife for around 30 min with no issues, was turned off in the driveway for about 15 min and then we left again. It was extremely cold during this issue (temps around 10 degrees F), but this has also happened during normal temps in the summer and fall.

Car losing power while driving, and powering down to zero. Also slowly goin backwards while in standard drive mode. Dealership has been troubleshooting for 3 weeks and not fix has been found.

the car lost power in the middle of the freeway -and decelerated; in a highway with speed limit of 65mph while driving in I-680, all of a sudden the car slowed down from 65mph all the way to less than 20mph - displaying "power reduced - 0% battery" ; even it was recently fully charged - I was able to drive the car - back at 20mph speed - went straight to the Nissan dealer/service - where I left my car - and. was given a loaner car. the warning lamp ONLY appeared as soon as the car decelerated / slowed down

My Ariya 2023 died on middle of Interstate while I was on bridge during rush hour battery was at 54 % when this happened. I had the vehicle towed to a charging station thinking i ran out of charge but car didnt charge. After couple hours car started at 54% battery even though I was not able charge.

When I got in the vehicle after work on 11-22-23, it displayed a “EV System” error alert and “Power Reduced” alert. The vehicle would only accelerate extremely slowly and would only go about 25 MPH. Trying to go up hill to my house it would only go maximum of 10 MPH. I barely made it home. I left it at the dealership the next day (which was a national holiday) and they examined the car on 11-24-23 but could not find anything wrong. I have been told to drive the car and bring it back if the message occurs again. My EV battery seems to be no longer holding a good charge at this time. I am concerned about the safety of the vehicle at this time.

The update should be provided over air

While coming to a complete stop using manual braking the vehicle appeared to lose power. The infotainment system went black and reset. The car itself did not need to be restarted and the manual brakes were still responsive. Additionally there is a recurring loud popping/cracking noise during normal driving (not charging).

My car had an 80% charge and I was going 75 MPH on a major highway. for the second time in five months the Ariya inexplicably shut off, went into neutral. I had to navigate three lanes to get off the nearest exit. The car immediately lost all power and decelerated from 75 miles a The car immediately lost all power and decelerated from 75 MPH to 25 before I could get to the nearest exit.This is so unacceptable. I do not feel safe in this car.

The contact owned a 2023 Nissan Ariya. The contact stated that, while pulling out of an end parking space, the driver made a third-point turn. While reversing, the vehicle suddenly stopped. The corner of the vehicle hit a pillar. The driver looked into the camera. There were no objects in the camera view. There was no alert activated. The contact pulled back into the parking spot with her foot on the accelerator pedal. The vehicle suddenly accelerated to 40 MPH, jumped the curb, hit a young tree, a dumpster, and an electrical box. There were no warning lights illuminated. While exiting the vehicle, there was an abnormally loud revving sound. Prior to the failure, the vehicle failed to shift into reverse. There was a symbol of two vehicles. The vehicle restarted and worked as designed. There were no reported injuries, airbags did not deploy, fire or police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to a tow lot. The vehicle was deemed a total loss. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was contacted, but assistance was provided. The failure mileage was 59,000.

Recently I been hearing a clicking noise every time I come to a complete stop and when I take off again. It started happening recently. After I hear the click noise coming from the middle of the front of my car, the wheel feels like it’s spinning just a little bit before coming to a stop.

The contact owns a 2023 Nissan Ariya. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, there was a loud thud coming from the vehicle. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact stated that while attempting to inspect the vehicle, the vehicle restarted while in park, and unexpectedly rolled away. The contact was able to quickly re-enter the vehicle and stop the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, where it was diagnosed with transmission failure. The contact was informed that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure, and a case was opened. The approximate failure mileage was 77,000.

I had just left the [XXX] on the [XXX] when our Ariya suddenly lost power at highway speeds. It felt like a very dangerous situation, because there are very long distances between exits in this area, and the shoulder is somewhat narrow in spots. The high voltage battery had been DC fast charged to 95% at said service area minutes earlier. But the display suddenly went to 0%, turtle mode appeared, and the message “Warning Service EV System” showed on the display. For some reason, the windshield wipers also activated momentarily, despite it being a clear summer day. It was not possible to maintain speed, as the car had a power limit of about 10%. I was fortunate that we were able to limp the ~10 miles to the next exit behind a very slow RV. However, the car slowed down dramatically when going uphill. It was a very white knuckle experience. Once we made it off [XXX], I was able to slowly coast into a gas station parking lot and collect myself. I tried turning off the car and turning it back on, but the message did not go away. Since I also carry tools when traveling, I then tried disconnecting the 12 volt battery for a minute and reconnecting it. Fortunately, that made the error go away. Having a suspicion that the 12 volt battery could be at fault, I replaced the OEM flooded lead acid battery with an AGM battery at my own expensive. The next day, I took the vehicle to Poughkeepsie Nissan in Wappingers Falls, NY to be looked at. The write up is included with the submission. The dealer was not able to duplicate the issue, but they did see error codes stored within the car’s computers.

Driving on the freeway this morning at 72% charge, approximately 5 miles into my 41 mile commute, message appeared on dash that battery charge was critically low, charge immediately. When this appeared the car was no longer showing the 72% charge, but 0% instead. The initial error was then replaced with "Warning Service EV System Power Reduced" and still showing 0% charge. Under reduced power I made it to a charging station 3 miles away and after a large number of attempts, finally got it to start charging. Immediately, the charge % returned to 70% and successfully charged to over 80%. To be safe I returned home instead of trying to finish my commute, as it was just past 3:00 AM and I didn't feel safe trying to complete the drive. I've also noticed since this has occurred the Nissan Connect app is no longer updating from the vehicle. If this is the same problem that others seem to have had, this becomes a highly dangerous situation both in the safety of the driver/passengers, but also everyone else on the road as the car goes to a reduced power mode!

Happened to me and my wife few times to try to put the vehicle in reverse gear and the car starts warning us to put the shifter in P and no matter what it does not go into gear. After ignition cycle it will operate properly, but that could be a safety issue at certain scenarios. The car doors are fully closed when this happens.

The car spontaneously shut down. "EV OFF" displayed on the screen. I was in the middle of the road and unable to turn on the car or shift into neutral to push it off the road. I had to wait over an hour for a tow while in the road. This appears to be an increasing problem as many owners are reporting the same issue on the Nissan Ariya electric SUV Discussion Group page on Facebook.

A Nissan technician informally advised me to document and report this issue immediately due to repeated failures related to DC fast charging.

While charging my vehicle, the charger failed to stop the charging session on command. I was unable to stop the charging session from the vehicle as well. I was therefore unable to move the vehicle for any reason (medical emergency or other urgent reason) until the state of charge reached 100%.

Vehicle displayed a "Service EV system" while driving on the highway. Battery state of charge dropped from 60% to 0%. Pulled over and turned the car off. After 5-10 minutes, I turned on the car and the issue disappeared.

My Ariya lane assist almost crashed me outside Philadelphia on I-76 (a notoriously congested and hazardous road). My hands got sweaty (I have sweaty palms, it's a medical condition) and it suddenly couldn't detect my hands. It quickly went into the "retake control" alert and I tried tapping the break to disengage it but that didn't do anything because it thought I wasn't driving the car so it kept the locked up lane assist on. I had to take my hands off the wheel, dry them, and then grab the wheel over and over until I found a dry enough spot for it to detect my hands. I figured out the fault, and why different people have different experiences. It's based on how moist your skin is and how sweaty your hands are. It took a couple trials to figure it out. I think it also uses back-force on the wheel to some extent, but mostly it's the capacitative sensor. I also tested if it would detect at different pressure levels when your hands are sweaty but that doesn't seem to matter. In addition turning the wheel ALSO doesn't help so you can be fighting for control of it when the system refuses to de-activate and is steering you into a bad place due to a left exit or something with traffic bearing down on you from 3 sides. This is extremely dangerous and using a system that fails IF YOUR HANDS AREN'T EXACTLY THE RIGHT LEVEL OF DRY/WET is absolutely something that needs to be recalled and replaced.

The car has a digital speedometer that can be switched from MPH to KPH through the settings (but it takes several steps) but one day my wife was driving and the units had switched and she didn't know so was not driving at the expected speed. I know of no "shortcut" to switch it quickly. I posted the question on an "Ariya forum" and at least 6 other owners said they experienced similar.

Car abruptly changed from mph to kmh. All safety aspects stay in mph, including speed limit and alert. So while on highway going 65mph, suddenly speed said 116kmh. But speed alerts were still saying “65”. Pro pilot on and car abruptly slowed down towards 65kmh on highway. Only way to change mph to kmh and back is to have car at complete stop, scroll to menu on steering wheel. Click it. Scroll to language. Click that. Click three more times. These options are completely locked out while the car is moving. Due to the danger of this happening on the highway, nearly avoiding getting rear ended, took to dealer. They reported nothing wrong. Reported to Nissan who said nothing wrong. Happened again today, not on Highway luckily. There are online posts of this happening with other Ariyas, but not on Highway. Again, if wanting to do this on purpose the car must be stopped and at least five explicit actions. Moreover, the safety measures on the car do not discriminate units, only numbers which makes this go from an annoyance to something that almost caused a high speed accident. Nissan has again been made aware, but lacks responsiveness.

3 days after purchasing the vehicle the forward collision warning light and rear cross traffic light came on. The forward collision light warning also came and and deactivated my cruise controls. It was taken back to the dealer for a diagnostic which was unsuccessful and did not show any errors. The car was given back to us and 3 days later while my wife was taking the kids to school, the same errors occurred plus the dashboard went dark, and the driver's seat inflating back rest started to inflate and deflate. The car was taken back to the dealer and has been there for close to a week. I was given a call by the Nissan Service Representative stating that they will be replacing the forward assist part.

I am writing to formally report a series of safety concerns I have encountered with my Nissan vehicle. These issues have been brought to the attention of both the service department and Nissan directly, but they remain unresolved. I believe these defects pose significant safety risks, not only for me as the driver but also for others on the road. Below is a detailed account of the problems: Spontaneous Locking and Unlocking: The vehicle intermittently locks and unlocks itself without any input from me. This issue compromises security and creates a potential safety hazard while driving or when the vehicle is parked. Malfunctioning Steering Wheel Controls: The steering wheel controls often become unresponsive and freeze, particularly during the use of cruise control. This prevents me from canceling cruise control unless I press the brakes abruptly, which could lead to unsafe situations on the road. Melting Dashboard Emitting Toxic Vapors: The dashboard of the vehicle begins to melt during driving, releasing vapors that are extremely toxic and irritating. This is a serious health concern, as the vapors affect the air quality within the vehicle and could impair my ability to operate the vehicle safely. Inadequate Door Seals: The door seals are unusually thin and fragile, causing them to break easily. This not only impacts the structural integrity of the vehicle but also creates potential exposure to external elements, affecting the vehicle's safety and functionality. Given the severity of these issues, I request an investigation to determine if these defects are common among similar vehicles and if they warrant a recall. The safety of myself, my passengers, and others on the road is at risk due to these defects, and I believe action is necessary to prevent accidents or injuries. Please feel free to contact me if further details or documentation are required. I appreciate your attention to this matter and look forward to your response.

After multiple repairs on my vehicle. We have received a new error today. Showing e-Step system failure, ABS light, Brake system failure, forward collision system off, rear braking system off & traction control system off.

At approximately 18,500 miles, my 2023 Nissan Ariya experienced a brake system failure while driving. The vehicle exhibited abnormal braking behavior and reduced braking performance, creating a serious safety concern. I was able to safely stop the vehicle, but the failure could have resulted in an accident. The vehicle was taken to a Nissan dealership for inspection. The diagnosis revealed severe and premature wear of the rear brake pads and significant damage to the rear rotors. The dealership also recommended replacement of the entire rear brake assemblies, not just standard wear components. The total repair estimate is approximately $3,800. Safety Concern: This failure occurred at very low mileage. In an electric vehicle with regenerative braking, brake components should last significantly longer under normal conditions. The extent of damage and need for full brake assembly replacement suggests a potential mechanical or electronic defect, such as a caliper malfunction or braking system issue. This was not normal wear and tear. The failure occurred during operation and posed a direct safety risk due to compromised braking ability. Manufacturer Response: The dealership has indicated the issue may not be covered under warranty, classifying it as wear-related. However, the severity and early failure strongly indicate an underlying defect rather than routine wear. I have contacted Nissan Corporate claims for further resolution. When visually inspecting the car the rotors were irregularly worn and the brake lines had burst spilling break fluid all over the rear innner tire .

After multiple repairs on my vehicle. We have received a new error today. Showing e-Step system failure, ABS light, Brake system failure, forward collision system off, rear braking system off & traction control system off.

Approximately 1.5 hours after taking possession of the vehicle, the Nissan Aria Evolve+ experienced a catastrophic brake system failure. Upon driving the vehicle home from the dealership (40 miles), the vehicle was parked inside the garage with the front facing the garage door. That is, it was backed in. 30 minutes later after arriving from the dealership, an attempt was made to drive the vehicle. As soon as it was put in drive, the vehicle started rolling forward even though the brake pedal was being depressed. Immediately it was clear that the brakes were not functioning. The vehicle continued heading towards the neighbor's house across the street. To avoid possible collusion vehicle was put in park and emergency brake engaged. This helped stop the vehicle. On the instrument panel, two different alerts were displayed while all this was occurring. The first one showed, "Warning, Malfunction See Owner's Manual." Then a second one was displayed, "Warning, e-Step system Failure. Press brake pedal to slow or stop." The following day, the vehicle was towed to dealership and they were able to replicate the issue. Service representative stated that Nissan would be notified so the can inspect the issue further.

3 days after purchasing the vehicle the forward collision warning light and rear cross traffic light came on. The forward collision light warning also came and and deactivated my cruise controls. It was taken back to the dealer for a diagnostic which was unsuccessful and did not show any errors. The car was given back to us and 3 days later while my wife was taking the kids to school, the same errors occurred plus the dashboard went dark, and the driver's seat inflating back rest started to inflate and deflate. The car was taken back to the dealer and has been there for close to a week. I was given a call by the Nissan Service Representative stating that they will be replacing the forward assist part.
