| Description of the problem | The car has 44,500 miles and was growling, shuttering and vibrating when driving. Especially at acceleration and stopping. Finally i was stopped at a red light when the car jerked harshly and shut off. It would start right back up, but then die when put into (d) drive. The road was a very dangerous highway and i was alone so could not push car to the side. Finally after about 20 start and 15 minutes, i managed to engage into drive. I drove it to the nissan dealer directly while it was bucking, jerking and would not accelerate. I blew threw 2 red lights because it would not downshift to stop. The dealer had the car approximately 6. 5 hours when they called to tell me that no lights were on and they could not find a problem. If i wanted to pay $120 diagnostic fee, they could go ahead with some work. I asked to speak to manager, however had left for the day. About 20 minutes later, they called again stating that he spoke to the manager and it is most likely an abs system problem, but i would still have to pay the $120 diagnosic fee. |
