I have a 2002 Nissan Xterra with 96K miles on it.

Once in a while, the instrument panel goes dark. No speedometer, fuel gauge, etc. I can't drive over 30 mph either. The next time I start the car everything is fine again.

Three garages check it our for me, including a dealer. No one found the root cause.

Has anyone had a similar experience and knows how to fix it? Thanks.

It's the ECU. Somehow water or moisture invaded that region. You get the dashboard removed behind the cooling coil you'll locate the ECU metallic box, swap it out inspect it for any mineral buildup. If you find any head over to eBay/Amazon/craigslist/junk yard to find an ECU with less mileage and warranty.
