NHTSA Complaint #748648 — 2000 NISSAN XTERRA

SPEEDOMETER & ODOMETER FAILING INTERMITTENTLY (DEAD ABOUT 75% OF THE TIME). HAD DEALER REPLACE SPEEDOMETER-RELATED PART; DIDN'T FIX PROBLEM. LATER, NOTICED TACHOMETER, TEMP & GAS GAUGES FAILING, TOO (THOUGH USUALLY EITHER THE GAS OR THE TEMP WORK EVEN WHEN EVERYTHING ELSE IS DEAD). AFTER 1 WEEK OF WAITING, DEALER SAYS IT WILL BE 3 WEEKS BEFORE PART IS AVAILABLE. SOUNDS IDENTICAL TO NHTSA CONSUMER COMPLAINT ODI ID #886991, WHICH WAS FIRST IDENTIFIED ON 3/15/2001 (4 MONTHS AGO), SO IT SHOULD BE SOMETHING NISSAN IS PREPARED TO DEAL WITH, NOT REQUIRING A MONTH OR MORE TO GET A REPLACEMENT PART!
