2007 Nissan Altima Driver assistance Problems

The Altima has 170k miles. We’ll taken care off . I was driving to work and out off nowhere the car lost power the speedometer stopped working and wouldn’t show me how fast I was going and I had to stopped and it lost all power. I tried looking everywhere for the problem to fix it and they told me they couldn’t get the part and told to come here and hopefully this helps, at the moment I dint have enough money to buy a car. The car has not been inspected but but the cops Or insurance. There were no warning prior to this accident it happened outta no where .

I ATTEMPTED TO PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE AND MY CAR BEGAN STALLING AND I HAD TO IMMEDIATELY PULL OVER ON THE SAME SIDE OF THE ROAD AS ONCOMING TRAFFIC.HAD I BEEN ON A BRIDGE OR BEEN FOLLOWED CLOSELY BY ANOTHER CAR IT COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. I PLACED IN PARK AND ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE CAR SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE IT STARTED.I CALLED PETRO NISSAN AND THEY SAID IT SOUNDED AS IF THE CAM OR DRIVE SENSOR WAS GOING OUT. I DROVE CAUTIOUSLY TO THE NEAREST NISSAN DEALER(MOSSEY) IN HOUSTON. THEY DID DIAGNOSTICS ON IT BUT COULD NOT FIND THE CAUSE. WHEN I ARRIVED AT THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER BRIDGE IN BATON ROUGE I APPROACHED AT 70MPH BUT ON THE BRIDGE I COULD NOT GET THE ACCELERATOR TO RESPOND TO KEEP ME ABOVE 50 MPH. I FELT I WOULD HAVE STALLED HAD THE BRIDGE BEEN ANY STEEPER OR LONGER. IT WAS VERY SCARY BUT I MANAGED TO MAKE IT OVER AND EXPERIENCED NO FURTHER PROBLEMS. I TOOK IT TO PETRO THE NEXT MORNING ON THURSDAY AND IT HAS BEEN THERE SINCE. THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DIAGNOSE OR RE PRODUCE THE SYMPTOMS. TODAY, THEY ARE CONSULTING NISSAN FACTORY ENGINEER. *JS

I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AND I PUT THE CAR IN CRUISE CONTROL. THE CAR COMES OFF CRUISE CONTROL AND I ENTER IT INTO CRUISE CONTROL AGAIN. THE SAME RESULTS HAPPEN. THEN I NOTICE MY RPM ACCELERATING AND MY MPH DECELERATING. I KNEW I HAD TO PULL MY VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD IMMEDIATELY. AS I'M SWITCHING LANES MY CAR STARTS TO SMOKE PROFUSELY AND I SAY SMALL FLAMES FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. NISSAN AFFAIRS REFUSES TO FIX MY VEHICLE BECAUSE IT IS EXACTLY 1, 918 MILES OUTSIDE OF THE WARRANTY. ALTHOUGH, MY TRANSMISSION BLEW PREMATURELY. *TR

STARTING IN 2011 EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE THE CRUISE CONTROL LIGHTS STARTED BLINKING WHICH DISABLED THE ABILITY TO USE THE CRUISE CONTROL. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED TO RESET THE LIGHTS AND BE ABLE TO USE CRUISE CONTROL. THIS BECAME MORE FREQUENT AS TIME WENT ON. NOW IN 2013 THE CRUISE CONTROL LIGHTS BLINK 99.99% OF THE TIME AND CANNOT BE RESET BY TURNING VEHICLE OFF. THE CRUISE CONTROL NOW DOES NOT WORK AT ALL EVEN ON THE RARE OCCASION WHEN THE LIGHT IS NOT BLINKING. *TR

ON 01/25/2010, I WAS DRIVING FROM WORK AND WHILE I ATTEMPTED TO STOP TO A LIGHT,THE BRAKES FAILED TO RESPOND. I COULDN'T CONTROL THE CAR ANYMORE. THE CAR SLID, AND HIT ANOTHER CAR IN THE BACK,BUT BECAUSE THE SPEED WAS LOW, THE DAMAGE WAS MINOR. AFTER THAT, THE CAR WAS FROZEN ; THE POLICE CAME AND THE CAR WAS TOWED TO A NEARBY AUTOBODY SHOP; AFTER THE OUTSIDE DAMAGE WAS FIXED, THE CAR WAS TRANSPORTED TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP BECAUSE THE CAR WAS NOT DRIVABLE.(THE SOFT WARE WAS MESSED UP,AS THE DEALER TOLD ME).AT THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP, THE SOFTWARE WAS RESET. THEY COULDN'T GUARANTEE THOUGH THAT THIS INCIDENT WILL NOT HAPPEN AGAIN. I CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER AND EXPLAINED THAT THIS CAR HAD A GENERAL INSPECTION LESS THAN 2 MONTHS PRIOR THE ACCIDENT AND THE ANNUAL REVISION LESS THAN3 WEEKS PRIOR THE ACCIDENT, AND NOW, EVEN THE CAR WAS FIXED THE NISSAN DEALER CANNOT GUARANTEE THAT THE SYSTEM WILL NOT FAIL AGAIN. THE MANUFACTURER DECIDED TO SENT THE CAR FOR ANOTHER INSPECTION TO THE SAME NISSAN DEALER THAT COULDN'T GUARANTEE THE SAFETY OF MY CAR. AT THIS POINT, I AM AFRAID DRIVING THE CAR. *TR
