NHTSA Complaint #10522494 — 2000 NISSAN SENTRA

I JUST BOUGHT THE CAR USED ON 6-22-13. THE GAUGES ON MY DASHBOARD STOPPED WORKING INTERMITTENTLY - I WILL BE DRIVING AND THERE IS NO SPEEDOMETER, ODOMETER, TACHOMETER, GAS GAUGE OR TEMPERATURE GAUGE. THEY ALL STOP WORKING TOGETHER FOR VARIOUS LENGTHS OF TIME, AND THEN JUST "CLICK" ON AGAIN. THE GAUGES SEEM TO BE STUCK IN PLACE ON THE GAS METER BUT THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD JUST FALL TO THE CORNER (LEFT OR RIGHT DEPENDING ON THE ANGLE IT IS ON WHEN IT STOPS WORKING. THE TACHOMETER SOMETIMES FALLS IN THE CORNER AN OTHER TIMES IT JUST FREEZES WHEN IT STOPS WORKING. THE TEMPERATURE GAUGES DOES THE SAME AS THE TACHOMETER. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT MAKES IT STOP OR COMES BACK ON. THE ODOMETER DISAPPEARS WHEN IT GOES OUT AND REAPPEARS WHEN IT COMES BACK ON BUT DOES SEEM TO MAINTAIN THE MILEAGE WHEN SHOWING OR NOT. LET ME KNOW IF THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE CAR OR NISSAN RESPONSIBLE TO REPAIR THE ISSUE. THE LOCAL DEALER SAID THEY DO NOT MAKE THE PART ANYMORE TO FIX THE POSSIBLE ISSUES. *TR
