This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
I own a 2000 Nissan Altima gxe, and have been experiencing a failure in the speedometer, tach, odometer, and temp gauge while driving. The gauges will freeze up at any time and stay at their last position, while the car continues to operate as normal. The cruise control will also kick off if it is being used at the time. This leads to a vehicle that is only drivable by using the naked eye and judging your speed by other cars, and a failure in correct reporting of mileage. A solution is still under investigation, and a dealer has not been able to diagnosis it yet. I have seen many other reports of this same problem on several models of Nissan of this year (frontier, Sentra, pathfinders) posted at various online car forums. Obviously this is a dangerous issue that has been overlooked by Nissan usa.
At least several times a week the instrument panel goes out while driving; the odometer, heat gauge, RPM, everything. Most of the time the speed registers below zero but sometimes it just freezes in place. At what point is Nissan willing to address the problem? maybe it is time to file a class action lawsuit.
