Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I own a 2000 nissan altima gxe, and have been experiencing a failure in the speedometer, tach, odometer, and temp gauge while driving. the gauges will freeze up at any time and stay at their last position, while the car continues to operate as normal. the cruise control will also kick off if it is being used at the time. this leads to a vehicle that is only drivable by using the naked eye and judging your speed by other cars, and a failure in correct reporting of mileage. a solution is still under investigation, and a dealer has not been able to diagnosis it yet. i have seen many other reports of this same problem on several models of nissans of this year (frontier, sentra, pathfinders) posted at various online car forums. obviously this is a dangerous issue that has been overlooked by nissan usa. *tr
