I was at a stop light and when it turned green and i stepped on the gas, the car made a noise and jerked. I was not able to drive from there. I couldn't even shift to any other gear. The car was stuck in a neutral position, so i was able to push it off to the side. After getting a tow to the nearest shop, they determined the transmission was bad. I did some research and found out nissan had been having issues with…

After driving for about 10 minutes, the transmission did not want to come out of low gear. At 35 mph, i was at about 6,000rpms in drive. I confirmed the overdrive off button is not engaged, nor is it in "l", and the emergency brake is off. When it has been cooled off for about 3+ hours, it will drive fairly normal for about 10-12 minutes until warmed up, then it all starts again. Even once it is cooled off, there is…

I was driving on a wooded back road when an animal ran out in front of the car. I hit the brakes hard enough to engage the abs and come to a full stop. Immediately after stopping i took my foot off the brake and stepped on the gas. The car acted like the brakes were still applied. I shifted between drive and reverse multiple times in an attempt to free up the brakes. Eventually i just pressed heavily on the gas and…
