I was stranded in the second lane over from the fast lane. The vehicle behind me came so close to hitting me. I could have been seriously injured in an automobile crash driving this speed during heavy commute conditions. I had no prior warning, such as a check engine light prior to this. Highway patrol and the tow service received notification from aaa and towed my car to a safe location until aaa arrived. My vehicle was towed to the Nissan dealer. I regularly take my vehicle fto the Nissan dealer for service. I am afraid to drive my car to work any longer being I commute 54 miles to and from work on a daily basis. The Nissan dealer did not perform all of the necessary steps for code P0101 which is the mass air flow sensor they simply reset the code.the mileage remained the same so how did they test drive it?
