Go to work this morning and all is great. Then I get in my car to drive home and start the car, and try to figure out what time it is and see this :(

I tried restarting the car a few times. Tried driving it around and then starting it again. Only to it still looking like this at night.

The pics are what the gauges look like in the center dash when the ENGINE is ON. The gauges DO NOT swing beginning to end anymore, but the main speed cluster works just fine. Now all they do is randomly look like they are shaking/hesitating as they move around all over the place. I tried fiddling with the left side LCD settings with no luck.

I tried very hard to find similar issues searching through the forums but had little luck. I am very paranoid about this as I just ordered a brand new Alpine Double din and rear view camera. Now i am worried about installing it as dealerships might find a way to weasel their way to saying the aftermarket head unit is at fault. It sounds like either way I have to make a painful dealership visit, but figured it was worth asking for feedback and advice from everyone here! I greatly appreciate all the help in advance, as it will really help me sleep better at night!

Take it to the dealership... Not normal.

Like iceman 21_23 mentioned either do a ecu reset or have it checked out by the dealer since its under warranty.

Take to dealer, definitely not normal. I feel an ECU reset shall do the trick though;

ya that's what im leaning towards, i'm just worried as to what could have caused it, i guess i can only hope for the best!

Dealershit job, case closed, lol

Keep us posted as to what happens or what they say

Just got back from sitting at the dealership for a couple hours. They called Nissan and Nissan told them to check connections and reconnect them. Didn't work so Nissan is sending me a new gauge set to put in wooopty do lol

glad nissan is taking care of you

Damn, thats crazy.. wowww

i'm just hoping its a "defective gauges" problem....and not an electrical problem

I can tell you that "electrical problems" with this car are not fun.

Wow what a weird issue, might need to keep an eye on the 2013's in case Nissan switched part suppliers or something funky

Never seen anything like that before. I'm thinking its the ecu, not the guages. The 13 Nismo rims look sweet!

Beautiful car man.. Sorry the gauges are messed up.. Dealer will make it right..


:driving:

My head unit comes in next week. Should I hold off on putting it in case dealer wants to blame fault or is that pretty unlikely/? Im hoping if it is an ecu issue that the new gauges show the same problem immediately.
