I purchased a 2005 nissan frontier in 2006. In 2010 i noticed my service engine soon light came on. I took my truck to a mechanic who put it on the computer to see what is going on.

At the time of the transmission failure i had no prior signs of a problem. As i was merging on to the 4 lane at a speed of about 45-50 mph the truck began shaking violently. I thought i had gotten some bad fuel because i had just filled the fuel. The shaking somewhat smoothed out at about 60 mph, though the truck was lacking normal power, and would shudder when pulling a grade. I drove the truck about 10 miles and…
