| Description of the problem | Car started to jerk forward when i was 2 hours into a 3 1/2 hour drive. This occurred when i came upon heavy highway traffic, and had to idle in traffic. Temperature outside was about 98 to 100 degrees, and the car was not overheating (no smoke/temp gauge was normal). Later on into the drive, the car began to jerk forward and cut out at stop lights. I had to turn the car off at the stop light then turn it back on to get the car to drive. Later on in the day, the car got progressively worse. It started to make a laboring/whining sound and would not accelerate beyond a particular speed or respond to the gas pedal. Eventually, turning the car off then on did not work. The car would drive about 20 feet then would not accelerate, then coast to a stop. I had to be towed from philadelphia to virginia because there were no nissan shops, nor auto shops open during that time of a saturday. Sunday would not have been a business day for mechanics either. I live in virginia. |
