Instrument cluster freezes indications for long periods intermittently. Odometer, tachometer, speedometer, engine temperature all freeze at what they were reading. This has been a repetitive, intermittent problem. Because of lack of true engine temperature reading, car was driven to overheating.

2000 nissan altima, car idles roughly and violently shakes as if it were about to stall causing the car to jerk even with the brakes on. The car has become so beat-up by this, it no longer has any power to it. Research shows this is the intake manifold gasket averaging 800 dollars in repair. Because i do not have this money, i can't fix my car meaning i can't get to class, nor get to work to make money. Websites…

I have a 2000 nissan altima that has over 100,000 miles on it that jerks and shakes due to a problem with the number 4 cylinder. Have had several diagnostics checks done and have replaced all external parts that would cause the number 4 cylinder to not fire correctly and believe that it is probably the intake manifold gasket. This is very dangerous because it causes the car to stall. *tr

At 90k miles, the engine is louder and vibrates during acceleration and when stopping at a red light. There is motor oil constantly leaking from the manifold gasket. All spark plugs were replaced and oil changed, but this didn't help. It is most likely the intake manifold gasket or some other gasket under the manifold cover. *tr

Okay i don't know what the deal with nissan and their recalls, but they definitely need to make a recall on the 2000 altima intake manifold gasket. My car started idling at varying rpms under 1 grand and started vibrating in a strange way. When i give my altima some gas to take off, it comes to the verge of stalling. I did some research on the problem and read a few hundred separate cases where this exact same…

The first time i got it repaired by a nissan dealership. This time i went to an independent mechanic since nissan wanted $97 to diagnose the problem. After doing a search on the internet i found that this is a common problem caused by a defect in the way it was…

At 46,000 miles the car began shaking and stalling at low speeds, then the check engine light came on. We took it to the nissan dealership and we were told it was the intake manifold gasket & it was repaired. Now 25,000 miles later the same problem is occurring and again it is due to the intake manifold gasket failing. We have estimates to repair it ranging from $600-$1,000.00. The nissan dealership who recently…
