| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: (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. *ak |
