| Description of the problem | I attempted to pass another vehicle and my car began stalling and i had to immediately pull over on the same side of the road as oncoming traffic. Had i been on a bridge or been followed closely by another car it could have caused an accident. I placed in park and attempted to restart the car several times before it started. I called petro nissan and they said it sounded as if the cam or drive sensor was going out. I drove cautiously to the nearest nissan dealer(mossey) in houston. They did diagnostics on it but could not find the cause. When i arrived at the mississippi river bridge in baton rouge i approached at 70mph but on the bridge i could not get the accelerator to respond to keep me above 50 mph. I felt i would have stalled had the bridge been any steeper or longer. It was very scary but i managed to make it over and experienced no further problems. I took it to petro the next morning on thursday and it has been there since. They have not been able to diagnose or re produce the symptoms. Today, they are consulting nissan factory engineer. *js |
