Nothing working on the instrument cluster ? Shouldn't be a battery problem with being only five months old. Turn on the headlamps , do they shine bright ? Does the check engine light come on when you turn the key to the on position ? Do all warning lights come on with the key on , then some go off after a few seconds ? Checking for diagnostic trouble codes in the instrument cluster would be a good thing to do also . The Instrument cluster could be the problem .

Testimonial: "Why doesn't it start takes a couple times,sometimes I have to give a tap to gas pedal and it died while I was driving...one day it shook when I was driving about 55 ??"

    Shook how ? In the engine or like a body or a Suspension problem ? Died while drive , could be a fuel delivery problem or ignition problem ! When it died did it start back up right away ? Check out some videos on youtube on trouble shooting died while driving . A picture is better training aid then me telling you . Tapping the gas pedal doesn't really do anything on a fuel injected engine . I would suggest you have a fuel pressuer test done , have spark plugs checked .If you don't know how to do engine running ,trouble shooting , i would say take it to a qualified repair .

2003 Cuts off when hot, will not start untill cool

My 2003 nissan sentra would get hot and stall out even in middle of highway doing 70 mph. The guages would go up and down. Would not start up all the time after stalling. had to cool down first. Nissan said it was head gasket, and wanted to charge 1000.00 for the job. I took to local dealer who charged me 550.00. Works fine ever since. Nissan dealer said they do like 3 head gaskets a week on the sentras. They have crappy ones in original parts. They have not recalled though.

I have a 2004 NISSAN SENTRA SE R SPEC V (Nismo), my car sputters

You have 2 Problems, First problem batteries dying you have to make sure connections secure and alternator is charging your batteries (go to an Autozone or Discount advanced they will tell you). The Sputtering is either a bad SPARK PLUG or a damaged Cable going to the spark plug..Change them every 2 years.
