Description of the problem	Driving with family on interstate 5 on the right lane going 60-62 mph. Without no light sensor warning from the xterra or no other warning whatsoever, it slowed down drastically from 60mph to 30mph, and i can see fast moving vehicles passing me. There was a huge semi truck behind us, he started to flash his high beam on us from behind. I try to accelerate but it would not, it just make a very loud engine sound. The semi truck so close behind us, i got scared, i signal right to pull over to the shoulder and doing so we almost got hit by another car that was merging to the freeway because the xterra was very slow. We pulled to the shoulder, put in park and the xterra has a weird smell coming out of the engine front. I try to shift to drive but it didn't move. I try to shift to reverse to park the xterra in a better position off the freeway but it didn't move. Two hours later, the tow truck arrive. I was extremely upset our entire family could have been kill because there was no warning light.
