The contact owned a 2000 Nissan Frontier crew cab. The contact stated that the electrical board located behind the instrument panel failed and caused the headlight to fail beyond repair. The dealer was notified of the failure who advised that they were unable to make repair because the manufacturer did not supply parts after the vehicle was over ten years. The contact traded the vehicle in for a newer vehicle. The VIN was unavailable. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 70,000.
There was a short in the fuse box that caused a fire that burned up the battery, the hoses and most of the electrical system. Prior to the fire the vehicle was stalling during turns. This occurred for about 10 minutes of driving while the vehicle was being driven to a garage. The fire started as the truck turned into the garage parking lot so it was put out quickly. I contacted Nissan, and they said they would not investigate or look at the vehicle unless I paid to have it towed to a Nissan dealer and paid the Nissan dealer to have a mechanic with no C&O training look at the vehicle. I called Nissan back and they said that was there final decision and no one from Nissan could do anything else.
My Nissan 2000 SE 4X4 extended cab has around 27000 miles. I purchased it new from carmax on 6/9/2000. About six months after purchasing the truck I experienced a failure of the instrument panel. I notified my Nissan dealer but couldn't duplicate the problem. I've learned to live with the problem but it now occurs just about every time I drive. It turns off for about 10 minutes and then comes on again. My lights or other safety equipment are not affected by this failure. During the failure I can't tell how fast I'm driving.
2000 Nissan crew cab pickup. Bought in April, 2003. On several occasions, the intrument panel has stopped working. Cruise control also disengages. After 10 to 15 minutes everything starts working again. My mechanic tells me it would be extremely hard to locate the problem. Do you have any idea what could be causing this?
