While driving normally today, out of the blue the car felt like it went into limp mode. When the gas is applied, the rpm would not rev and no response, I had to step on the gas a couple times wot to keep up with traffic (50mph). The whole time the car was running rough and the rpm would spike and bog when the gas is applied. I pulled over restarted the car and tested out the gas again, same result, it does not move the rpm and rev.
I took it to the Nissan dealer, on the way there (5 miles) I had to constantly mash the gas to get the car going 45mph and it was bogging a bit too. Sometimes the rpm would spike to 6k and jerk the car. When I took it to the dealer, magically the car revs and drives normal. Wtf??
I am very confused what just happened. Anyone else experienced this?

Car temp gauge 210-220
