Consumer Description

2000 NISSAN MAXIMA SE. WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE ON A HIGHWAY OR SECONDARY ROAD THE VEHICLE STARTS TO BUCK. SUDDENLY WITHOUT ANY WARNING THE (TCS) TRACTION CONTROL AND SLIP LIGHTS ILLUMINATE. THIS CAUSES ME TO SUDDENLY LOSE POWER AND DECELERATE IN HI SPEED TRAFFIC ALMOST LEADING TO REAR END COLLISIONS. I HAVE TRIED TO RECTIFY THE PROBLEM BY RESETTING THE VEHICLE'S COMPUTER BY DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY OVERNIGHT AND SPEAKING TO MECHANICS. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. AT TIMES THE TCS WILL ACTIVATE ( SOMETIMES STALL ) WHILE I AM PULLING INTO TRAFFIC OR MERGING ONTO THE HIGHWAY ( RPM'S GO TO 2000 MAXIMUM WHEN THIS HAPPENS ) CAUSING CONCERN TO MYSELF OR OTHER MOTORIST. THE VEHICLE HAS 190K AND I HAVE OWNED IT SINCE 01/26/2018. THE VEHICLE OPERATED PERFECTLY UNTIL 07/2018. UNFORTUNATELY I HAVE BEEN UNEMPLOYED SINCE 04/2018 AND CANNOT AFFORD TO HAVE THE CAR PUT IN A SHOP FOR REPAIRS. I AM CAPABLE OF DOING MY OWN MECHANICAL REPAIR ONCE I CAN DIAGNOSE THE ROOT CAUSE. I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE SINCE I DO NOT HAVE ANOTHER AT MY DISPOSAL. MY MAIN CONCERN BEING SAFETY TO MYSELF AND OTHERS. ANY HELP WITH THIS SITUATION WILL BE DEEPLY APPRECIATED. THANK YOU.
