I was driving 75MPH down the interstate when out of nowhere my engine started acting funny. It started to slow down and then the check engine light came on. As we were exiting the engine started stuttering. We were able to get it to a gas station. It was towed to a mechanic where they found that there were multiple cylinder misfires. They also found a hole in the cylinder head/valve cover. With the vehicle slowing down on its own it could've caused a wreck. The stuttering on the offramp put my family at risk of being hit while trying to turn onto the street for the gas station. I do not believe the problem has been reproduced since it has been towed since then. We are taking care to not drive or cause any further damage to the vehicle. The check engine light turned on as the vehicle began to slow down. Before that it was sounding off, for a mile or two, but no lights were on. We were already planning on stopping to check it out when the engine failed. We have yet to be able to get i

I was on my way back from Michigan, heading toward Utah, and around Chicago the transmission started giving me issues. I was informed by a transmission company that I would be able to make it out to Utah, but we only made it to South Dakota and the transmission was blown. I had to pay $500 in towing to a transmission shop. The transmission shop informed me that the transmission is in fact blown and it will cost $6400 to replace. I also had a quote from a Nissan dealership for around $6600. The car has under 37,000 miles but is out of warranty because it is a rebuilt title. I purchased this vehicle about 2 months ago and have driven it around 8,000 miles since. I have had regular maintenance and upkeep on the vehicle, above and beyond, as I was not sure of the previous owners care. Owners, regardless of warranty or title status, have reported similar transmission problems. This suggests an inherent issue with the 2019 NV3500. Considering the safety risks and financial burden faced by o
