| Description of the problem | I was driving nissan xterra on the busy street and suddenly i notice smoke coming from under the hood. I stopped the car on the closest parking lot and tried to go away from the car. I was scared it will blow up. After few minutes the smoke stopped coming from under the hood. I called towing and my mechanic told me it is transmission problem. It was truly horrible experience. |
