While driving today the rpms went crazy and I almost wrecked . The car would spudder and then rev up. Also, at a stop light when trying to go the car seems to barely move and acts like it's going to die. Now we have transmission problems and have had to replace radiator,hoses, and all fluids in transmission and radiator.

I had just bought this vehicle off of ebay from individuals in new braunfels , texas drove it back to amarillo , texas. I went to drop a load of items off at amarillo's giving closet for people in need. It ran perfect on the way over there. I turned the ignition off while I was unloading everything. When I went to start my vehicle it would not start although the lights and things would come on. The vehicle was later towed to a shop and I was told that it was being caused by the vehicle control. Now the transmission is messed up acts if there is no 1st or 2nd gear taking off in 3rd gear automatic transmission. Since then my husband was pinned under a seminar trailer he was working on and lost his leg. I can not afford to pay for another vehicle. Please help me. I was just informed of a problem with nissan and this.

I was driving and suddenly the check engine light came on, I drove home and the next week I went to replace my brakes and ask the workshop to do a scan to let me know why the light is on, they did and 2 codes came up which the shop said they did not see before so they cleared the system and said if it comes on again to take it back so they can fully investigate. I went on 9/28 to another workshop they did a scan and the code p1772 came on after inspecting the mechanic showed me the radiator cap with some thick gooey stuff telling me the radiator is bad and the coolant is mixing with transmission fluid and vice versa. Before this the car would run and when I at a stop sign and try to move it would rev to 4-5 stalls and then move, they are also times of sudden jerk and acceleration. They have also been twice when I tried to reverse the vehicle would not move, I had to turn off the engine then restart before I could reverse..

I was driving down the highway with my kids when the vehicle started to overheat and when I pulled over the vehicle started to smoke and shut down. The vehicle was then towed to my house. I had a family mechanic look at the vehicle and was told the radiator cracked. I ordered a radiator and it was put it. Then found out that water had gotten into the transmission fluid. Went and bought the transmission fluid j specifically for nissan and was going to flush the transmission fluid and add more it was then that the transmission started slipping and white smoke was coming out of the exhaust. Where I was told the head gasket is cracked. I am still making payments on this car and have no vehicle to drive to work or school.
