| Description of the problem | I was driving on the interstate and i put the car in cruise control. The car comes off cruise control and i enter it into cruise control again. The same results happen. Then i notice my rpm accelerating and my mph decelerating. I knew i had to pull my vehicle over to the side of the road immediately. As i'm switching lanes my car starts to smoke profusely and i say small flames from the front of the vehicle. Nissan affairs refuses to fix my vehicle because it is exactly 1, 918 miles outside of the warranty. Although, my transmission blew prematurely. |
