While driving on freeway (in middle of nowhere)car started jerking/shaking/vibrating & clunking/banging sound, felt like driving over millions of nails. Car could barely drive at 40 mph in slow lane w/hazards until I could get to safety an hour away. Car cannot go above 5 mph to get it home. Rpm going wacky no power when step on gas but engine revs. Engine light on steady then flashes when car gets going at only 5 mph (cannot go faster) but I finally got the car home & I was safe. Now car can't be driven & must be towed to a garage. Car has oil leak & I replaced the oil pan along with faulty alternator which killed battery just 2 months ago. Bought car used 2/1/20. Has 110,000 miles now. Engine hot/smells hot but temp gauge doesn't reflect that. I was nearly killed on freeway by passing tractor trailers & traffic having to speed by me recklessly when it happened to avoid collision-no warning. Very dangerous & scary. I see there are nearly 600 other cases exactly like this!!! single mom with 2 kids in car - very dangerous. This should be recalled. It sounds by reading complaints that it's the transfer case?.
All motor mounts and transmission mounts failed at 65,000 and brought into repair at 74,000 miles. Extreme scary vibration when driving. Thump and clunking and banging sound on engine when depressing the gas pedal. Very expensive $2,900. 00 repair at Nissan dealer.
