Have an X-Trail ePower e4orce since June 2024. A delicate vehicle compared to my previous one (Freelander 2 SD4) bit quite solid. I am doing mix driving (both long amd short rides, in the city and on motorways) and currently at 8k km. So far everything is fine except that whining noise. It's like a motor is running and accelerating even when idle (one good example is once ypu turn on the ingition and still on P to hit the gas pedal; you will hear the noise).
As most of the people in this forum said it happens mainly in the morning and for the first few kilometers (I think around 4km). The weird thing is that on test drive I have never heard this and the first few months it was blissfully quiet.
I have also informed the dealership but their response is that this is normal and it is the battery motor which seems odd as it happens at any battery range and mainly in the mornings.
This issue alone makes me question my decision to go with this car.
Did anyone find any solutions or did anyone managed to communicate directly with Nissan on this (not the dealerships)?
Would really appreciate any feedback and comments on this.
Thanks
