Hey can you guys help me? We just stalled after exiting the free way and we pushed it into a lot. The car was running fine all day, drove it about 80 miles there and 80 miles, and after we exited the freeway and brakes at a red light the engine stalled and shut off. Turned the engine back on and it was idling but putting it into reverse made it stall again. What’s wrong with my car?

    Hello, this is most likely related to a problem with the transmission torque converter causing the engine to stall. The reverse gear runs at a higher line pressure and when a converter is worn, it can make the engine stall in reverse. Make sure it is full of transmission fluid, check for codes. If that all checks ok, have a transmission shop double check the issue before making repairs.

      If you are lucky this is the torque converter. If this is a Nissan with the CVT transmission then it is also possible that the transmission is screwed up in which case it will be a very expensive fix. Nissan is known to have really fucked up CVT transmissions that don’t last for shit.
