I drove my Nissan out of the driveway, it started slipping, grinding. The transmission fluid check light would not come on at all, ever since I had it. Turns out transmission fluid tank empty. I was on major highway, could go 40 miles an hour, jerked out of gear with traffic behind me. Had tow it to transmission shop and transmission burned out. Faulty transmission light failed to warn me of problems. Nissan owners manual does not instruct you to check transmission fluid. It directs you to dealership. Had no warning light to alert me. Could have gotten killed.
Started smelling gas fumes. Service engine light came on. Took the truck to advance auto to get the codes off of the computer and the tech said it has to do with the engine and that I should take it to the dealer. Dealer says it's the exhaust manifold and it has cracks in it. Would cost about $2000 for parts and labor.
