A month or two ago, I had to send the Leaf in for a warranty repair, for what ended up being a wiring fault. Essentially, all of the posh sensors on the car that detected objects around it, the parking sensors, the self-driving systems and emergency braking systems, the blind-spot warning lights etc. all started playing up -- the car realised this was happening and disabled the various systems accordingly, so I took it to Nissan and they diagnosed and fixed the wiring fault, no harm no foul.
After I got the car back though, I noticed the steering wheel was really... scratchy. Like if I turned it lock-to-lock, there'd be a 'scratching' sound coming from behind the wheel, like something was scraping. I figured it wasn't anything to bother them about, I couldn't hear it over the music, so whatever.
Then about three weeks back my airbag warning light came on and stayed on, so I took it back in for another diagnosis and repair.
This time they said it was a broken clock spring -- which I'm guessing explains the scratchy sound. They needed to get the part in, so it took a week and a bit but they replaced it on Thursday and now I've got the car back.
Except I noticed today that when driving straight on, the steering wheel is on the piss by quite some margin. I figured perhaps the tracking was off, but then I remembered that they didn't have to fuck about with the wheels themselves, just the steering wheel -- so they obviously hadn't put it back on properly.
To make matters worse, if I engage the self-driving system then everything goes awry because the steering assist must use the wheel position as it's sensor rather than the steering rack or whatever, because the steering assist will literally drive me off the road by re-centering the steering wheel.
You'd think they'd get this shit right, being a main dealer. Perhaps with it being warranty work they just don't give a shit.
Annoyingly, I was supposed to be going on a long motorway journey on Monday which the self-driving would have been lovely for, but I dare not risk it now. I guess that's just an excuse to take the Boxster instead, though, so not *all* bad.
