THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED USED IN OKLAHOMA IN APRIL 2013, AND ALL THE DASH GAUGES QUIT ON THE WAY HOME, ALONG WITH THE ODOMETER GOING OUT. AFTER THE CAR COOLED DOWN, THE GAUGES/ODOMETER STARTED WORKING AGAIN. THE CAR WAS THEN DRIVEN CROSS COUNTRY TO WASHINGTON STATE, AND WHEN THE HEATER WAS TURNED ON, AND AFTER A FEW MINUTES, THE GAUGES/ODOMETER STOPPED WORKING AGAIN. ONCE COOLED OFF, THE GAUGES/ODOMETER WOULD START WORKING AGAIN. THE CAR WAS THEN DRIVEN TO TEXAS, AND THE SAME ISSUES CAME UP, ALL CENTERED AROUND TEMPERATURE. IT SEEMS WHEN THE HEATER IS TURNED ON (WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN WA), OR IF IT IS HOT OUTSIDE (THE DRIVE TO TEXAS, AND WHILE THE CAR HAS BEEN IN TEXAS), THE GAUGES WILL STOP WORKING AFTER A PERIOD OF TIME, AND WILL START WORKING AGAIN ONCE THE TEMPERATURE INSIDE THE CAR HAS COOLED DOWN. CURRENTLY WE ARE HAVING 100 DEGREE WEATHER DAYS IN TEXAS, SO IF THE CAR IS HOT WHEN LEAVING THE HOUSE, THE GAUGES WON'T WORK, UNTIL THE AC HAS BEEN ON ENOUGH TO COOL THE IN...

IN THE PAST 6 MONTHS, I HAVE EXPERIENCE THE CAR SHUTTING DOWN WHEN THE CAR IS IDLE, AT A STOP, OR DURING MOVEMENT A LOW SPEEDS SUCH AS MAKING LEFT OR RIGHT TURN. I HAVE HAD DIFFERENT MECHANICS LOOKED AT THIS ISSUE, BUT NEITHER ONE WAS ABLE TO PIN POINT THE ISSUE. THEY HAVE RESET THE 'SERVICE ENGINE' LIGHT SO MANY TIMES, BUT THIS ISSUE KEEPS RETURNING. RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE ON THE INTERNET, I FOUND A RECALL ON NISSAN SENTRA THAT SEEM TO HAVE THE SAME EXPERIENCE AS I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING (01V357 AND 03V455). I CALLED NISSAN FOR DETAILS ON THIS ISSUE AND THEY EXPLAINED THAT MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT IN THE LIST OF RECALL VEHICLES. I FILED A CASE WITH NISSAN (CASE# 11305573) HOWEVER, I WOULD LIKE TO BRING THIS ISSUE TO YOUR ATTENTION SINCE IT MIGHT CAUSE INJURIES TO OTHERS WHEN THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF WITHOUT WARNING. I BELIEVE MY VEHICLES WITH SIMILAR VIN SHOULD ALSO BE CHECKED FOR FAULTY ECU AND/OR WIRE SENSOR. *TR
