Z Broke Down :(

FuszNissan · 08-08-2009, 04:04 PM

So I was on my way to lunch, when I heard a griding noise in the front and then she just slowed down like limp mode where I couldn't accelerate. Then the engine died, and I was just coasting at 50 mph on an apex turn. Wow, that scared the **** out of me, no power steering and no power brakes. Anyway waiting for a flatbed and back to the store.. Can't wait until Monday to figure out the eff it was.

Ouch! Sorry to hear Lou. Good thing you have that special Warranty "connection"....

Hope it's something simple..

CBRich · 08-08-2009, 04:14 PM

Grinding noise, eh? That's never good. Have you done anything with the car lately? Oil change, part installation?

Any broken belts? Or, anything driven by the belt malfunctioning?

FuszNissan · 08-08-2009, 05:26 PM

Belts look good. She tries to start but won't turn over. Updates on Monday. Should see what code it threw.
