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

98 NISSAN FRONTIER INSTRUMENT CLUSTERS ARE DEFECTIVE. THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ON LINE AND NO PARTS AVAILABLE. MINE STARTED FIRST BY THE SPEEDOMETER BEING OFF. THIS COST ME TWO SPEEDING TICKETS AND TWO SPEEDING WARNINGS BEFORE I REALIZED WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. THEN THE SPEEDOMETER QUIT WORKING ALL TOGETHER THEN THE FUEL GAUGE NOW EVERYTHING FUEL,TEMP,SPEEDOMETER, ODOMETER AND TACHOMETER ALL OF THEM QUIT WORKING. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED A LONG TIME AGO. THE PROBLEM IS NISSAN CAN'T EVEN FIX THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE THE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE AND THE COMPANY THAT MANUFACTURED THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTERS WENT OUT OF BUSINESS. WHEN THIS PROBLEM FIRST STARTED I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW I HAD AN ISSUE BECAUSE IT WAS JUST THE SPEED OFF BY ABOUT 10 MILES PER HOUR IT SAID I WAS GOING SLOWER THEN I WAS ACTUALLY GOING. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN INVESTIGATED AND RECALLED ALONG TIME AGO. WHAT ABOUT PEOPLE DRIVING THROUGH SCHOOL ZONES WITH CHILDREN? *TR

I HAVE A 98 FRONTIER WHICH HAS TWICE IN THE LAST SIX MONTHS INEXPLICABLY REVED THE ENGINE, ON IT'S OWN, TO ALMOST 6000 RPMS IN CONJUNCTION WITH THIS IS AN INCREASE IN SPEED. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED I HAD JUST LEFT A GARAGE FROM HAVING A TUNE-UP & OIL CHANGE. THE NEXT WAS ON A VERY NARROW COUNTRY ROAD. IT DIDN'T MATTER WHAT GEAR IT WAS IN , I HAVE A 5 SPEED, OR REVERSE. IT IS VERY FRIGHTENING WHEN THIS HAPPENS & THE MECHANIC CAN FIND NO REASON FOR IT. I WORRY ABOUT IT HAPPENING IN THE WINTER ON ICY ROADS. THIS IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. *TR

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

THE FREQUENCY WITH WHICH THIS OCCURS INCREASES DAILY. THE SPEEDOMETER DOESN'T REALLY EVER FUNCTION PROPERLY AT THIS POINT.

THE PROBLEM IS WITH MY 1998 NISSAN FRONTIER 4X4, THE PROBLEM IS THE SPEEDOMETER IS NOT READING THE CORRECT SPEED, USING A RADAR SPEED SET UP, AND CONFIRMING WITH A GPS, THE READING ON THE SPEEDOMETER SIGNIFICANTLY VARIES, HOLDING THE VEHICLE AT A CONSTANT SPEED OF 50 MPH ON THE OEM SPEEDOMETER WILL GENERATE ACTUAL VEHICLE SPEEDS FROM 42MPH TO 66MPH, MY CONCERN IS MORE SAFETY THAN A SPEEDING TICKET, BASICALLY THE OPERATOR HAS NO IDEA HOW FAST THE VEHICLE IS GOING, SOMETIMES THE SPEEDOMETER WILL JUMP AND MOVE, WHILE AT A CONSTANT SPEED, I HAVE TRIED TO PURCHASE REPLACEMENT PARTS FROM NISSAN, AND HAVE MADE SEVERAL INQUIRIES ON WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT WITHOUT SUCCESS, I HAVE TRIED TO PURCHASE A USED PART AS WELL, WITHOUT SUCCESS, THE FEED BACK I AM GETTING FROM THE FIELD IS THAT THE 1998 AND 1999 MODEL FRONTIERS HAVE A SIGNIFICANT PROBLEM WITH THE SPEEDOMETER, WHICH INDICATES TO ME THERE IS A DESIGN FLAW, THIS COUPLED WITH THE SAFETY ISSUE, I FEEL THAT A INVESTIGATION INTO THIS MAY BE JUSTIFIED, IT WAS ONLY BY OBSERVATION THAT I DETECTED THIS PROBLEM, THERE MAY BE OTHER FRONTIER DRIVERS THAT ARE TOTALLY UNAWARE THAT THE SPEED ON THEIR SPEEDOMETER IS IN ERROR AND COULD HAVE A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS RESULT,
