| Description of the problem | I began to have vibration in my vehicle when i reached speeds of 45 mph and got worse around 65 mph. I took my car to nissan twice in aug. 2013 and was told it was road vibration. In early nov. I took my car to my local mechanic for this problem and was told the vibration wasn't road vibration and that it was either my drive shafts or transmission. On nov. 17th i drove from altoona pa to upper marlboro md and arrived around 2 am. I went to drive my car into dc on the morning of the 18th and when i put it in reverse it backed up, but when i put it in drive it wouldn't drive forward. After shifting through the gears for a few minutes my car drove forward so i parked it in my driveway. My car hasn't been able to be driven since. When i put it in gear and press the gas the engine just revs. When i start my car i can hear the engine and transmission making a whining noise. My radiator also broke in late august of 2013 and needed to be replaced. |
