| Description of the problem | I was driving down the interstate with my three childred going 65 mph ( which was the speed limit) i slowed down to let a car in front of me, tried to speed up but my car would not accelerate. Pulled to the side of the interstate, confused at what was happening with my car. I turned my car off and on and as soo n as i would put it in gear my car cut off. It did this 3 times. When i finally got my car to stay "in drive" my car would not go faster than 45 mph and it felt like my car was pulling. I was scared to death with my three children in the car with me and we were on the side of the interstate. I drove with my flashers on going 45 mph during rush hour, had to get off on the first exit. Took my car to the nissan dealership, by then my car would not go faster than 25 mph, and stated that i needed a new transmission. Its a 2 year old car and i bought it less than a year ago. Nissan has refused to pay for the repairs as it has passed the 60000 warranty. |
