The dashboard gives erroneous readings, this includes the odometer, the speedometer, fuel gauge , heat gauge. This may cause an over heating of vehicle, erroneous speeds, running out of fuel, erroneous odometer. Nissan will not pay for diagnosis stating the dealer is in complete charge of pricing for diagnosis of 100.00 with no guarantee of reimbursement. The maker of vehicle should be held responsible not the dealer after all nissan made the vehicle. While checking online it appears to be a prevalent issue with nissan frontiers trucks. Various calls have been on deaf ears. *tr

All gauges are non-responsive. There is no way to indicate how fast you're going, if you have fuel, what the rpm is, what the mileage is on the vehicle, or if the vehicle is too hot or too cold. There are hundreds of complaints in customer review websites that i have read after my vehicle's problem started. I believe this is a safety issue and that nissan should be responsible for what appears to be faulty components in the instrument gauge cluster. This problem also prevents owners to register/pass inspection/drive their vehicle with state inspection laws. *tr
