Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“The instrument gauge cluster leds gone out, as well as the shift indicator display. Making it almost impossible to see what speed you are traveling at and gear you are in. Nissan is aware of the issue and has extended the warranty for some but this is a safety concern. Im on the 2nd replacement that has failed from Nissan.”

“The speedometer is inaccurate. The fuel gauge doesn't work. The digital screen on the gauge cluster doesn't work at all. Some of the lighting is out such as behind the RPM gauge. There is an orange exclamation point icon lit up on the gauge cluster as well.”
