1998 Nissan Frontier

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. DOES NOT WORK. NO GAUGES WORK AT ALL. DO NOT KNOW WHAT MY SPEED IS, FUEL LEVEL, RPM, HEAT GAUGE, NOTHING AT ALL. STARTED BY JUST GOING OUT ONCE IN A WHILE THEN IN JUNE 2007 COMPLETELY QUIT WORKING. HAD TO BUY A GPS SO I KNOW HOW FAST I AM GOING. ODOMETER READS 999999. DEALER SAYS THEIR IS NO REPLACEMENT PART AND IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE BUT CAN NOT GET PARTS. *TR

VEHICLE HAS 98,000 MILES ON FRONTIER TRUCK SPEEDOMETER WORKS INTERMITTENTLY OR SOMETIMES DOES NOT WORK AT ALL. INACCURATE SPEED DETERMINED BY RADAR SPEED LIMIT DEVICE ITS OFF BY AT LEAST 20 MILES PER HOUR RECALL THIS VEHICLE.! A SEARCH OF NHTSA DATABASE INDICATES MANY IDENTICAL PROBLEMS WITH THIS MODEL RECALL THIS VEHICLE SO THAT OTHER OWNERS CAN GET THIS FIXED SAFETY PROBLEM AND CANT PASS STATE SMOG INSPECTION. *TR

1998 NISSAN FRONTIER- FUEL PUMP FAILED-TOWED TO DEALER IN MID WINTER. DEALER CLAIMS THE TANK AND SENDING UNIT MUST BE REPLACED DUE TO RUST/CORROSION FOR OVER $1100.00. OK'D REPAIR BUT CANNOT BE DONE BECAUSE NO FUEL TANKS AVAILABLE. DEALER HAS TRUCK, TO TOW IT TO A PRIVATE REPAIR SHOP WOULD BE AN ADDED EXPENSE WITH NO GUARANTEE OF REPAIR. DEALER WILL ONLY USE NEW NISSAN TANK THAT THEY CAN'T GET. I HAVE NO TRUCK. *TR

TL - THE CONTACT OWNS A 1998 NISSAN FRONTIER PICKUP TRUCK. A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE NISSAN DEALER. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE SPEEDOMETER ASSEMBLY HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER HAS BEEN UNABLE TO GET THE PART FOR THE REPAIR AND DOES NOT KNOW WHEN IT WILL BE AVAILABLE. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 118,000.

YOU PUT THE SEATBELT/SHOULDER HARNESS ON AND 90% OF THE TIME IT WILL LOCK TIGHT WITH OUT YOU JERKING ON IT TO SIMULATE AN ACCIDENT. IN AN ACCIDENT I'M CONCERNED IT COULD CAUSE NECK AND/OR CHEST INJURIES. THIS CAN HAPPEN EVEN IF YOU GENTLY PULL IT OUT. YOU CAN PUT IT ON BUT IT THEN GETS TIGHTER AND TIGHTER. YOU CAN ACTUALLY HEAR IT CLICKING INTO PLACE. *TR

ALL GAUGES( SPEEDOMETER, TACHOMETER, TEMP, AND FUEL) MALFUNCTION PERIODICALLY AT THE SAME TIME. SOMETIMES THIS RESULTS IN THE GAUGES PEGGING OUT OR JUST NOT WORKING AT ALL. THE FREQUENCY WITH WHICH THIS OCCURS INCREASES DAILY. THE SPEEDOMETER DOESN'T REALLY EVER FUNCTION PROPERLY AT THIS POINT. I FEEL THIS MALFUNCTION IS CAUSE FOR A RECALL BECAUSE IN DOING SOME RESEARCH I HAVE FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON MULTIPLE ONLINE FORUMS INDICATING THIS EXACT SAME MALFUNCTION. I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY FORMAL COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN FILED REGARDING THIS PROBLEM, BUT FROM WHAT I WAS ABLE TO FIND I CAN'T BELIEVE THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM. *TR

1998 NISSAN FRONTIER PROBLEMS WITH THE CIRCUIT BOARD. CUSTOMER STATED THAT THE DEALER WOULD ORDER A NEW BOARD AND WENT BACK A COUPLE DAYS LATER AND WAS TOLD THEY DIDN'T MAKE THEM ANYMORE. *KB THE CIRCUIT BOARD THAT CONTROLLED ALL OF THE GAUGES ON THE DASH HAD STOPPED WORKING; SUCH AS THE HEAT, SPEEDOMETER. MILEAGE, GAS AND TACHOMETER.*JB

THE CIRCUIT BOARD BEHIND THE DASH INSTRUMENTS THAT OPERATES ALL OF THE DASH BOARD INSTRUMENTS ON MY 1998 NISSAN PU HAS FAILED. THE DEALERSHIP COULD NOT OBTAIN A NEW ONE AND SAID THAT THE PART IS NO LONGER MADE. THE PU HAS ABOUT 58000 MILES ON IT BUT NOW I CAN NOT HAVE IT SAFETY CHECKED BECAUSE NONE OF THE GAUGES ON THE DASH WORK. I TRIED TO GET SOME POSITIVE RESPONSE FROM THE CUSTOMER SERVICE IN CANADA BUT ENEV AFTER 4 CALLS -- NOTHING BUT A RUN A ROUND. *JB
