While driving my 2007 nissan altima the rpm drops and the car loses power. The check engine light gives a code for the catalyst converter but the light goes on and off. Once the rpm drops and all of the lights on the dashboard start blinking, the car jerks and stall. I have to pull over and put the car in park for a few minutes. The car jerks again and drives normal for about 15 minutes and then it repeats itself.

It has also increased the levels of carbon monoxide emitted by the vehicle while the engine is running as the hole is allowing some exhaust to exit the exhaust system prior to going…

Pulled off the highway and merged into a left hand turn lane. When i came to a stop i noticed black smoke coming from the engine block. My car then caught fire and it was later totaled by the insurance company. The previous day i had my car serviced at a nissan dealership. They changed my oil/filter and changed a part that was recalled (dealing with leaking brake fluids).... Coincidence (sarcasm meant)??? *tr
