| Description of the problem | After driving for about 50 miles at freeway speeds, i put on the foot brake and the motor started racing. The only way it stopped was to turn off the ignition. It happened three times in one evening but the dealer and technicial were unable to duplicate it. Therefor they said they could not fix it. I contacted the consumer affairs of nissan and they gave me the same answer. They returned the truck to me without doing any repair work. *ak |
