Consumer Description

I PULLED UP TO A PUMP AT A GAS STATION, GOT OUT AND WENT IN THE STORE TO GET A DRINK. CAME BACK OUT AND MY CAR HAD LOCKED UP. THE STEERING AND BRAKES WERE BOTH LOCKED. THANK GOD I WASN'T IN MOTION WHEN THIS HAPPENED. THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. I CUT THE CAR OFF AND LET IT SIT THERE BEFORE TRYING TO START IT AGAIN. IT CRANKS BUT NEVER TURNS OVER. THERE IS A BATTERY LIGHT, BRAKE LIGHT, PS LIGHT AND OIL LIGHT ON THE DASH. I RESEARCHED IT AND EVERYTHING INDICATED A BAD ALTERNATOR. I BOUGHT A NISSAN ALTERNATOR AND PUT IT ON. STILL NEVER TURNED OVER. THE FUEL PUMP RUNS AND I PUT SOME STARTING FLUID INTO THE THROTTLE BODY AND IT STARTED BUT DIED AFTER A FIVE SECONDS. EVERY NISSAN DEALERSHIP TELLS ME THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. ITS MY ONLY CAR, I'M FLAT BROKE AND I AM WALKING 2 HOURS TO WORK EVERY DAY SO I DON'T LOSE MY JOB. I NEED TO KNOW WHAT'S WRONG.
