| Description of the problem | I was driving down transit rd depew ny 14043. I felt my torque drop and then my engine sputtered and died. The road is a two lane one direction with no shoulder. I barley able to get it in the right lane, with no power steering, before it rolled to a stop. I believe the only thing that saved me for being hit by another car was a police officer putting his emergency lights on. I took it to a nissan dealer for service and they said the timing belt broke and bent the piston in the engine. Please act on this before someone is injured or killed due to this faulty timing belt. |
