As I was driving on the highway the car jerked and felt like it was losing acceleration. The check engine light, tcs and slid light turned on. I began to feel scared I had my child, sister and brother in the vehicle. I proceed to drive home with caution. Once I arrived home, I turned the vehicle off and tried to restart it. The car would not start.

It has the check engine light on, when the car is up, it takes time to start and when it is driving it sometimes turns off, but if they turn it on again if it starts.

It has the check engine light on, it takes time to start and when it is driving it turns off (but it turns on).it goes off on flat surfaces, and when you are on a rise that's where it takes to catch on.

Last week a new battery & starter were installed. Did not drive for a week. Started fine yesterday and drove approximately 90 miles, then it just stopped. Luckily I was on a road with no other traffic. I put it in neutral and it started right up. I drove one mile and parked it at my home. Will not drive it again until I talk with a mechanic. Very scary! planet Nissan in my area have given me horrible service. If you have an older car they cannot be bothered. I plan on calling a local mechanic that hopefully can help me.
