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. *TR

Electrical System, vehicle Speed Control

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. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE GAUGES IN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WOULD FAIL INTERMITTENTLY. ALSO, WHENEVER THE GAUGES DID WORK, THE VEHICLE WOULD LOSE POWER ABNORMALLY. NEITHER THE DEALER NOR THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 150,000.

Engine And Engine Cooling
06/23/2010
INSTRUMENT CLUSTER FREEZES INDICATIONS FOR LONG PERIODS INTERMITTENTLY. ODOMETER, TACHOMETER, SPEEDOMETER, ENGINE TEMPERATURE ALL FREEZE AT WHAT THEY WERE READING. THIS HAS BEEN A REPETITIVE, INTERMITTENT PROBLEM. BECAUSE OF LACK OF TRUE ENGINE TEMPERATURE READING, CAR WAS DRIVEN TO OVERHEATING. WATER PUMP FAILED CAUSING THE ENGINE TO OVERHEAT, BLOWING UP THE RADIATOR AND DESTROYING THE ENGINE. *TT

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...
