Consumer Description

THE CAR STARTED SHAKING AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE, THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT WAS NOW DISPLAYED. NEED TO GET OFF THE ROAD AND HAVE IT TOWED. THE GROUND WIRE WAS BROKEN OFF THE TRANSMISSION AND CAUSED THE COMPUTER TO SHORT OUT AS WELL AS ALL OF THE SIX IGNITION COILS AS TOO MUCH VOLTAGE WAS SENT TO THE COILS. NISSAN KNOWS ABOUT THE PROBLEM BUT DID NOT ISSUE ANY RECALL. THIS CAN ALSO CAUSE A FIRE IN THE CAR IF THE WIRES HEAT UP AND CATCH THE EVAP SYSTEM; THEREFORE I WOULD RECOMMEND ISSUING A RECALL OF THIS PROBLEM. *TR
