What owners wrote
While feet was on brakes vehicle accelerated at a high speed, causing an accident. Resulting in driver and passenger injuries.
I bought this 2000 nissan altima new. Since approximately december of '03 the instrument cluster has repeatedly (too many times to keep track of) malfunctioned at arbitrary times giving either no info (gauges all go to 0) or incorrect info (130 MPH at 1k RPM w/no water temp and suddenly full tank of gas). Problem can last any where from minutes to 24 hours+. The cruise control also malfunctions whenever this occurs.
