Serious safety issue: at a very busy California intersection, my vehicle simply quit running, at which point I was able to re start said vehicle and "limp" it to a safe area, luckily I might add. I had vehicle towed to a service facility where the mechanic found a lose battery connection in which he thought he solved the mechanical problem. The next day traveling down hwy 50 in the sierra mountains at 65 mph the vehicle stopped running again and I was lucky enough to have an exit nearby that I safely coasted the dead vehicle into. Had vehicle towed to a different mechanic. He found a faulty ipdm ( intelligent power distribution module ). Upon his research and mine, this is an ongoing problem in which Nissan is not responding to. It should be safety issue and be recalled by Nissan and the repair should be performed at no charge from a Nissan dealership. If you were to google : "ipdm problem Nissan " you will find further data. Please review, and thanks for listening. . . .

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.

(1). At higher speeds, my 2000 Nissan Frontier truck's dashboard dials malfunction. This occurs frequently. (2). The dials either drop to zero -- the odometer, speedometer and temperature guages -- as if the vehicle were not running, or they get stuck at the speed. They remain stuck or inactive for periods of up to 4 hours. Also, the digital mileage disappears or skews so that it is not readable. On two occasions the vehicle rapidly decellerated as if it were responding to the dashboard dials dropping. (3) the dealership -- gunn Nissan of san antonio texas -- was unable to duplicate the defect in four visits. On the fifth visit, the dealer's service manager was able to detect the defect. Gunn advised that the entire dashboard system would need to be replaced. They attributed the defect to the vehicles mileage -- now 89,000 -- however, at the time of the first occurence the mileage was less that 50,000. I purchased the vehicle new from gunn Nissan. The problem was nto detected until the warranty period expired.
