“The lights go out for the gauge cluster routinely go out rendering drivers unable to read the gauges at night including the fuel gauge and speedometer. I noticed it when I started my car while in a dark location and was unable to see my temperature gauge, fuel gauge, and gear indicated gauge along with part of my tachometer. Many other owners experienced this same problem and there does not seem to be a related to anything caused by the owner. Nissan's solution is to replace the cluster with the same cluster that still has the faulty design and the lights still go out.”
NHTSA complaint #10785838, filed 2015-10, 77,000 miles“The instrument cluster lighting in the car has failed rendering the gauges/speedometer/etc unreadable at night. Nissan extended the warranty on this item but mine has been replaced and now has the exact same issue. This is a safety issue - not being able to read the speedometer at night is dangerous!”
