Thank you!

Hi All, I am selling my MIEV. It still charges to full bars. Works great, but we decided to upgrade to a brand new Leaf. We’ve been the only owners. Sold Details: ES trim Year: 2012 Mileage: 36k Color: Grey Charger included: level 1 (plug into normal outlet) Fast charging: CHAdEMO Condition...

I am assuming the dealer checked the 12v? Right now they will also be driving the car 40 miles, to drain it down I guess. Are there any test results I should ask to see before they return the car to me? I assume they will find some reason not to replace.

Well, they are doing all kinds of tests for draining and filling the battery. Corporate wants them to reset some kind of smoothing function, which they think might fix it. The 12v was replaced 22 months back.

So the dealer still has my car, and is doing a multitude of tests for corporate engineers in Japan.

I would actually like to keep the Miev to use for the appropriate trips. But, we don’t really have the storage space on our property for that many vehicles. Ideally we could use it for local trips. I have driven it here for 5 years, but my children are getting older, and need to go...

So, I was driving my miev (2012 35k miles) down the road with 5 miles left, headed to a charging station. I go to this place often, sometimes with 2 or 3 miles left. Anyhow, it seemed I was hitting all the green lights, so was going at a nice steady 40 mph on flat ground. Suddenly the turtle...

Did you sell yours? I may be doing something similar with mine in Southern CA. Mine is 25k miles. I really like it, but we can't keep three cars. It is becoming impractical for a family of 4 in Southern CA.

Yes, with all other diagnostics, etc. they’ve had the car over a week waiting on the battery.

So, it was the 12v. Are these special batteries? The dealer is charging me $400, and had to ship the battery in from somewhere?? Dangit. I was able to buy the side mirror on eBay for $75! This is a 2012.

Hi Folks, I just returned from out of town. My 2012 i-miev had 10 miles of charge on it, but will not turn on properly. I have the yellow warning light with an exclamation. It says this is a battery problem, and i have to contact a certified service center right away. It also has a high pitch...

Hi Folks, I am trying to replace the driver's side view mirror on my 2012 i-miev. I swiped the original on a dumpster, and it fell off. Does anybody know where to buy them? Thanks!

Yes, I suppose you are right. Unfortunately, the dealer in Albuq where I bought it said all dealerships would be certified with 6 months when I bought it. That never happened. It's too bad the market is so weak in a place like Él Paso.

I live 250 miles from nearest qualified service dealer. Mitsubishi allowed me to use my roadside assistance to get the car to the dealer (in Albuquerque), but I have to get it towed back. It's unfortunate the dealers in El Paso texas are not certified! Do you think I should demand they tow it back?
