| My 2001 nissan altima, with approx 89000 miles, has started experiencing engine failure at cruising speeds (50-70 mph) on the freeway. it is intermittent with no apparent warning. first, all guages, including gas, temperature, rpm and odometer, fall to zero. the car jerks as if downshifted, and slows drastically, and the gas pedal does not accelerate the car. it has happened 7-8 times in the past few weeks. the radio display light also blanks out, not sure if this is related or a separate problem.*ak | |||
