Please help me before I drive my once beloved Xterra off of a cliff.
I drive a 2005 Nissan Xterra Off Road Edition. Alright, so I was driving down the road at about 45 mph (probably 2 months ago), clunk and then limp mode. Stays in 2nd gear no matter how much I rev it and only goes up to a certain speed. The problem stops after shutting off the car and restarting, but happens again after a while. Very hit or miss if it decides to go into limp mode. We haven't been driving it so there shouldn't be any worsening of issues but who knows with this thing.
It is giving the code of P1774, Low Coast Brake Solenoid Valve.
Took it to Nissan after we switched the lines and they flushed the tranny and refilled it, said there was no cross-contamination of fluids that they saw. They drove it and said it didn't happen to them (we even drove it around the lot beforehand) so I hopped into it and about 5 miles down the road... limp mode.
I'm ready to pull my hair out. When idling, the heat stops working also and I heard that is a good sign of tranny problems. Anyone else have this problem? It's going for a second opinion on Monday since we can't fork over $5500 for a rebuild at Nissan. Just need some advice, especially since we are still paying it off after buying it 2 years ago.
