Q: How do I know if I’m having transmission issues in a 2013 nissian altima
Hello, My 2013 Nissian Altima shut off on me yesterday after I stopped at a red light. It didn’t give me any warning and I’ve never had trouble with it. Once I started the car back up it ran just fine until I put it into the drive gear, it then shut back off. I started it once more and tried reversing and it shut off again before I could even hit the gas. Could you please advise and tell me what kind of issue I could be looking at here. Thanks in advance.
