problem #3

Maxima V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 230,000 miles

A D V E R T I S E M E N T S

There I was enjoying life, content with being alive when all of a sudden BAM! My F&@$! Engine light goes (Of course it always has to happen around registration time). Annoyed I go home and plug it into my handy dandy OBD scanner and Code P720 comes on, The Vehicle Speed Sensor code. I look and find the part to replace surprisingly pretty easy to replace. I Clear the code and test again after completing my Drive Cycles and BAM! That SON OF A B!?$& came back on. Back to the drawing board I went to find out it must be the Transmission Speed sensor, so I buy the second part and begin my search. Unfortunately 4 hours of Constant YouTube Screaming and Fondling my cars undercarriage No Luck. Defeated I figure I’ll just take it to the shop once I got the money, I Start heading to work and OH MY HELL WHAT NOW?? My car wouldn’t shift into gear I’m stuck driving like your children live around doing less then 25 mph I head home again. And so here I am Broke, Angry, and No means to go nowhere... Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.
