Dashboard Failed Problems of Nissan Altima

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.

When slowing down for a light I noticed the lights dim in the reflection of the car in front of me. I also saw a red light on the dash which I haven't seen before near the top above the gear indicator. Then when I approached the ramp to the highway I noticed the lights dim again as my rpm's dropped below 1000. All was fine on the highway and I got off at an exit near my house when slowing to make a left on my road the car just completely shut off without warning. Completely dead all the lights went off no radio no heat nothing! I shifted it out of gear into neutral and it wouldn't even turn over tried to turn my hazard lights on and they did not work either. I could not shift it out of n/d with my foot on the brake. This was an awful experience as I was almost rear ended and pissed off a number of people as I was in a dark intersection for almost 5 minutes in a black car. I tried turning the key back and forth and nothing happened ? it was only about 5 minutes later that I could hear some electrical activity (the key was in the accessory position) and then some lights on the dash and about thirty seconds later I could start the car and go on my way. All electrical settings were reset to factory defaults all radio presets etc the radio and heat were powered off.

While driving the dashboard goes out completely. You can not tell how fast you're going or what the rpm is or anything, including the gas gauge. When this happens, sometimes the car begins to lose power as if the gas pedal isn't working and then all of a sudden it comes back and you get propelled forward. This happens very frequently and I'm afraid that I am going to get a speeding ticket one day because there is no way for me to tell how fast I am going when the dashboard goes dead and even worse I'm afraid I'm either going to lose speed and get rear-ended or gain speed and be propelled into the vehicle in front of me. I have researched this, and this is a very common problem with this year, make, and model vehicle. In all the other complaints that I have found online, they all go to the mechanics and they can not figure out the problem. I believe this is a vehicle defect and the electrical unit on the dashboard needs to be recalled and fixed before someone gets injured or killed due to this malfunction. Also, this electrical issue causes the service engine light to turn on and gives a misread when you take it in to be diagnosed.

Rear brake lights failure- both sides- first left then right- replaced went out again soon after. Lights on heater gauges failed. Cigarette lighter "female part" pulls out of dash when you take the lighter out. Passenger door panel came off-keeps the doors from unlocking- tried to fix it and ended up being locked in my car in the rain for an hour. Back passenger side seat belt was jammed. Also odometer is jammed-has never been tampered with. Was bringing my husband to work and I know that it is a 10 mile drive-none of the numbers rolled over. Works when it wants to.

My odometer, heat gauge, rmp, and gas gauge goes out while driving and Nissan headquarters will do nothing about. There also has been other cases reported to Nissan.
