general problems of the 2000 Nissan Altima

Gauges shut off, freeze, and advance while in motion, confusing the drivers. Causing unknown speed, gas, temperature, and others metering. This is happening since I bought the car. Sometime work fine. Most of the time gages are down.

I just bought a 200 Nissan Altima. I was driving to hilton head and 2 hours into the trip the cruise control went off and then the air bag light came on. I kept giving it gas and it just started slowing down. We got hit from behind and spun around. I broke my nose and my girlfriend broke her hip in 3 places.

While going 75mph on cruise control all of a sudden all the gauges (rpm, mph, fuel, engine temp) dropped down to zero. Only the cruise control lights remained on. All while a combination of #'s and letters came up on the odometer (even the odometer went blank). It was a shock and I did not know how to react to this. My first reaction was to turn off the cruise control via the buttons on the steering wheel, as soon as I did it this caused all the gauges to come back to life including the odometer. Very weird issue.

The fuel level is not accurate. It first started doing this telling me I had a 1/4 tank left, when I ran out of gas in the middle of an interstate. I then put gas in it and sure enough that's what it was. Ever since then the car never gives accurate readings, I can fill all the way up and it will only show that it is 3/4 full or such but never is precise. This can be a very big issue for someone that does not have a gas station nearby like it happened to me.

The dashboard display on my 2000 Nissan Altima gxe freezes intermittently. The odometer goes blank and the tachometer, speedometer, heat sensors, etc either freeze in place or drop to zero. There has been no damage, but the shop cannot seem to diagnose the issue.

My car stalls while driving. It sputters, meaning I will have my foot on the gas, the rpms will drop to 500, then with my foot off the gas the rpms jump all the way to 2500! this sudden acceleration can plow me right into a car, pole, busy intersection, etc. It happens often. It has happened to me while driving on the freeway at 60 mph, and on local streets at 25 mph. This is very dangerous! if the car suddenly loses acceleration and my foot is still on the gas, the guy behind me is going to hit me. And when the car accelerates on its own all of a sudden, im going to rear end the guy in front of me. This is horrible!.

The contact owns a 2000 Nissan Altima. While driving approximately 60 mph, all the gauges except the fuel gauges stopped functioning; they displayed the last reading they indicated before the failure. Approximately five minutes later, all of the gauges dropped to a reading of 0 except the fuel gauges. The contact stated that after shutting the vehicle off for a few hours, the gauges began to function properly again. The failure continued intermittently. The vehicle was taken to a local repair shop but the failure could not be diagnosed. The vehicle had not been repaired. The last time the failure occurred, the fuel gauge also malfunctioned. The failure mileage was approximately 120,000 and the current mileage was approximately 182,000. The VIN was unavailable.

While driving on i880 at the speed of 65 mph, the car completely shut down and spun in the middle of the road without any reason or warning. The shut down was instantaneous and included the electrical system. Once the car came to a halt, I was able to put the gear in "park" and restart it. The car then continued to function normally.

My 20000 Nissan Altima speedometer, odometer, tachometer and temp gauge all will quit working simultaneously while driving leaving me with no way to know if I am driving at a safe ,legal speed. After diagnostic tests the speed sensor was replaced which did not fix the problem. I am afraid this will cause a wreck and after visiting several auto forums online have found this is a common problem with this make of car.

Heat dispay, speedometer/odometer/rpm meter fade out intermittently. Ts.

First, my altinator died at 37000 miles, and the dealer replaced it with a re-ferbished one. This was last summer, and now my car is just not starting at all sometimes. Also, one dealer said that my motor mounts were broken, and a different dealer said nothing about the motor mounts. I take the car in for it's inspections, and have not been in any kind of an accident. Because my warrenty is expired, I have to take care of it all out of pocket. This is the worst car I have ever bought!.
