Description of the problem | Last night suddenly on the highway i-95 it lost a power. To be more exact, it seemed like transmission stuck on the high (4th) gear. On parking or neutral gear positions when i press gas pedal, engine reacts and increases rpms, makes noise, etc but when on the drive position, it barely moves, like if you try to start from 4th or 5th gear. This morning i brought it to the autonation pembroke pines nissan dealership (pembroke pines, fl). After inspection they gave me the such a surprising conclusion: problem with tail light caused mis-functioning of transmission. And the taillight was functioning well, not damaged. But they told, his electric resistance was wrong. After replacing the tail light transmission started working. It's really very hard to believe, that misfunctioning (wrong electrical resistance) of the tail light can affect the primary functionality of the vehicle, which could really cause an accident and injuries or even loos of life. It was very fortune for me that i discovered this issue when i was taking an exit ramp i found similar histories described here http://forums. Nicoclub.
