Are you saying the Nissan dealer will **not** fix it under the powertrain warranty?

BTW, you might want to edit your post, in the heading you state it is a Leaf, which is an EV model, then in the body of your post you state it is a Kicks, which has a gas engine.

Powertrain warranty generally doesn’t cover drivability problems, powertrain warranties cover internal engine components.

That will be up to the moderator; “Kicks” is not listed in the scroll-down as a Nissan model.
