| Description of the problem | The first incident occur while driving on the interstate at about 75 mph. All of a sudden the car began to slow down at a steady pace. It would not let me accelerate even with the pedal pressed all the way to the floor and it began to make a whining noise. I pulled over and let the car sit for a while and when i started driving again the drove normal like nothing happened. The second incident occur about 7 months later while driving on the interstate again at about 60mph. This time the car didn't slow down, but it would let me accelerate pass 60 mph and the rpm needle never moved. After letting the car sit i started to drive again and every time i accelerated the car began to jerk violently and started making the same whining noise. After letting the car sit for a while longer it drove normal. The nissan dealership repair shop couldn't find a problem. The check engine light never came on to indicate a problem. |
