| Description of the problem | We took a trip to northern michigan from asheville nc, our altima began to die when idling in detroit. I thought we had bad gas so purchased lucas fuel system cleaner and filled the fuel tank. The vehicles performance improved we continued our trip to indian river mi. Once we reached our destination i parked the car and it sat from saturday until the following tuesday morning. I started the vehicle and put it in reverse the vehicle wouldn't move, i shifted the car back into park and then to reverse again depressed to fuel pedal and it began to move. We started on our day trip and about two miles down the road and the vehicle down shifted and would not go fast than 20mph, we called nissan assistance and the sent a wrecker to get us. The wrecker to us to the nearest nissan dealership two hours away, after spending another four hours at the dealership to find out our vehicle had to have another transmission. The dealership got us a rental car and we are currently on our way home. I will be talking to nissan customer service on monday to see how they plan on getting our vehicle back to us. We no warning lights or signals came on to warn us until the vehicle wouldn't move at all. |
