    Cluster failed and some lights on dashboard are not visible. This is known issue see ntb14-049 and should warrant a recall because you can't see anything on dashboard. Cost is 1000. Contacted nissan consumer affairs and was told they won't recall or cover repair unless your office requires recall.
