TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1998 NISSAN FRONTIER. ON SEPTEMBER 1, 2007, THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER BECAUSE ALL OF THE INSTRUMENT PANEL GAUGES WERE BLANK. HE PAID $900 FOR THE REPAIR AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE CIRCUIT BOARD WOULD ARRIVE THE FOLLOWING DAY. AFTER RETURNING TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES, HE WAS FINALLY INFORMED THAT THE CIRCUIT BOARD WAS UNAVAILABLE AND WAS NO LONGER BEING MADE. THE CONTACT CALLED THE CONSUMER AFFAIRS OFFICE OF THE MANUFACTURER SEVERAL TIMES, BUT THEY HAVE NOT RESPONDED. THE VEHICLE IS 8,000 MILES OVER WARRANTY AND CANNOT PASS STATE INSPECTION. NISSAN DOES NOT HAVE THE PART AND DOES NOT REBUILD THEM ANY LONGER. THE PURCHASE DATE WAS UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 58,000.
