   Regarding NHTSA Recall 24V-700 which was first reported in September of 2024. We were told not to use the "fast" charging port because of a fire hazard. Using the slower charging port takes about an extra 8 hours per charge. This was supposed to be fixed in November of 2024. To date....almost 2 years later....not fix is available. This has caused me over 800 additional hours of charging time!!! Nissan should have to pay us for this time as we bought the car with the…

   Nissan has instructed us not to use fast charging. However, I do not have a home charger and do not have access to any other charging option besides fast charging.
