I would go to the dealer, but....

370z TT · 07-17-2010, 10:59 AM

First this was all done on private roads, after the car hit 125mph the car shifted into a higher gear and stopped accelerating completely, and my rpms started dropping off. I would go o the dealer, but I don't know how that would affect my warranty. This is an automatic and when I tried to downshift it would just shift back into the higher gear. I checked the oil and it is normal, what could possibly be wrong with it. The temps were also like 220-240, so I don't think it was limp mode.

What exactly is a "private" road in this situation? I can't imagine you getting your car up to 125 in your driveway. Other than that they're mostly public roads.

I love the subject line of this thread, so here is my feedback:

I would go to the dealer, but...Lou always tries to fill my engine with Unicorn Blood.

Apart from that it sounds like your engine is simply responding to the ECU, rev sync, and protective limp-mode.

Well, yea but the forums don't approve of driving that fast on public roads. I've done faster speeds and this never happened to me.

Maybe your car is trying to save your life! That Nissan thinks of everything

It would be difficult to explain to the dealership about going over 125+mph. Plus this is why you should've got a 6MT instead of the auto.

FuszNissan · 07-17-2010, 02:56 PM

I don't think a Dealer would want to try and duplicate a transmission problem at 125....just my two cents.

I hit 150 on a private road (driveway) and it never did this. And I passed a MT doing 120 on the same private road while doing it.

Nice to know that my MT won't "automatically" shift gears to slow my excelleration.
