I NOTED AN ERROR MESSAGE ON MY DASH REGARDING A FAILURE TO THE ABS.I WENT TO THE DEALER WHO PULLED A CODE "C1111" FOR A FAILED HYDRAULIC CONTROL ASSEMBLY; A VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR. MY CAR HAS ONLY 19K MILES, AND IS LIGHTLY DRIVEN. ONLINE RESEARCH ON GT-R BLOGS, AND ELSEWHERE REVEAL THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM ON EARLY GT-RS, AFFECTING A HIGH PERCENTAGE OF THEM AT LOW MILEAGE. I CONTACTED NISSAN'S GT-R REPORT LINE, AND THEY WERE OF NO HELP. I RECENTLY SAW A RECALL ON OTHER NISSAN PRODUCTS RELATED TO THEIR ABS SYSTEMS. ALTHOUGH THIS IS A SMALL NUMBER OF MANUFACTURED CARS, THIS IS AN IMPORTANT SAFETY DEVICE, AND I BELIEVE NEEDS TO BE SCRUTINIZED CAREFULLY. THANK YOU. [XXX] INFORMAT

1. MANY LEDS IN DASH CLUSTER HAVE GONE OUT WHICH IS A SAFETY ISSUE DRIVING AT NIGHT. 2. THERE IS A FAILURE OF THE AM/FM TUNER. BOTH ISSUES ARE KNOWN TO NISSAN BUT THEY WILL NOT FIX IN MY CAR STATING THAT MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT AFFECTED WHICH IT MOST CERTAINLY IS: HTTP://WWW.2009GTR.COM/2012/01/NISSAN-EXTENDS-WARRANTY-ON-INSTRUMENT.HTML

I'M WRITING THIS BECAUSE THE INSTRUMENT GAUGE CLUSTER LIGHT IS OUT ON MY 2009 GT-R, AND IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD. I HAVE TRIED TO WORK WITH NISSAN OF AMERICA/CANADA BUT LIKE MOST WITH THEIR LIGHTS OUT THE 'EXTENDED' WARRANTY EXPIRED BEFORE THE ISSUE OCCURRED. THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE WITH THEIR GAUGE CLUSTER LIGHTS OUT. HTTP://WWW.GTRLIFE.COM/FORUMS/TOPIC/44110-OFFICIAL-NAGTROC-GAUGE-LIGHT-OUT-THREAD/PAGE-14 THIS IS A FACTORY DEFECT THAT NISSAN WILL NOT OWN UP TO OR ACKNOWLEDGE. NO VEHICLE WITH UNDER 15K SHOULD HAVE THESE KINDS OF ISSUES. NISSAN NEEDS TO STAND BY THEIR WORK AND RECALL THIS UNIT. I HAVE TRIED TO CONTACT THE NHTSA HOTLINE BUT THEY WERE OF NO HELP. SEEMS NO ONE WANTS TO

THE INSTRUMENT GAUGE CLUSTER ON A 2009-2010 GTR HAS A COMMON PROBLEM WHERE THE LEDS BEHIND THE FUEL GAUGE END OF BURNING OUT. NISSAN IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND OFFERED A FACTORY EXTENDED WARRANTY FROM 3 YEARS / 36K MILES TO 6 YEARS / UNLIMITED MILES. EVEN SO, FOR OWNERS LIKE MYSELF WITH A LOW MILEAGE CAR THAT HAVE PASSED THE TIME PERIOD BUT HAVE A BROKEN CLUSTER. IT'S A COMMON AND KNOWN ISSUE AND DUE TO THIS TECHNICALITY NISSAN REFUSES TO REPLACE THE CLUSTER.
