Dashboard cluster went out while driving. Lost speedometer, odometer and all other gauges etc. Car only had 55,000 miles on it. I turned my car on and started driving out of my driveway, on my way to the Nissan dealer to fix other recalls, when it went out. I pulled over, restarted my car and still nothing. Had to exit car to see if lights/blinkers were working and they still were, but no sign from inside that they were. Drove to dealer without speedometer etc for an appointment at Nissan dealership the next morning. Nissan not even willing to admit this is a safety issue. About a $878 repair, with car just outside of warranty. I contacted Nissan consumer affairs and they are not willing to accept responsibility or make any reimbursement of any type. I talked with lauren at 615. 725. 7907. She stated that if there is a recall I can submit receipts and they may reimburse.
