1 Instrument Panel Failure problem of the 2020 Nissan Altima

Failure Date: 03/26/2020

Blind side warning not working - radar not available due to side obstruction. Several times the instrument panel has malfunction - Nissan claims car must be spotless or it won't function properly. I have never had such issues with other makes. The ebs warning lights come on most of the time when temperature drops below freezing. I thought this car provided safety, instead it does the opposite. Nissan claims when there's snow on the ground safety features won't work. Why have them then? make a point of this before I purchase. I washed the car and it blind side detector still won't work. It would be safer to produce a car without such features so I don't get distracted by flashes on the instrument panel. Sometimes the ebs warning goes off when stopped sometimes when driving. All of this started occurring in late November 2019 with only 500 miles on the car. If the temperature is above freezing the ebs warning stays off but the blind spot warning has not worked in 4 months. I was at the dealer today (3/26/2020) and have to return tomorrow.

3 Instrument Panel Failure problem of the 2001 Nissan Altima

Failure Date: 08/01/2002

I purchased a Nissan Altima with 17,000 miles on it with warranty left on the car. About 8 or 9 months of owning it, while driving it would just lose power down to about 10 mile per hour. The instrument panel would go dead,,no speedometer, gauges, nothing. I took it the dealer, they could not find anything wrong with it, they just replaced a timing chain tensioner under warranty. I finally figured out that by placing the gear shift in neutral it would resume back to normal speed, but the instrument panel would not come back on. The panel would come on sometimes in 10 mile mostly 30 to 40 miles down the road. The same problem would occur during my drive many times, I would just place the shifter in neutral and than back to drive and I would back to normal speed again. Also, this problem would not happen if speed is held over 70 miles per hour. The affected speed is between 35 to 70 mph. I now have over 81,000 miles on the Altima.
