Came up to a stop light and when the light changed the car would not move.
look on the transmission
Sounds like you need it reworked.
try to change the netural safety switch that should fix the problem
Reverse lamp switch and neutral switch.
The transmission on the 1994 Nissan Pathfinder may need to have a fluid flush. Dirty fluid will cause the gears to shift hard when transitioning from place to place.
Could possibly be shifting gears sporadically or your driving on hilly terrain.
The shifter linkage might be jammed or disconnected. The shifting sensor, that detects if the brake is engaged, may be malfunctioning.
Have you checked the fluid level? Have you changed the filter and fluid as normal maintenance?
depends is it automatic or manual? if its automatic its more than likely that your transmission isn't shifting into first gear
If the 1997 Nissan Altima with an automatic transmission is shifting gears too early, it could be that the shift solenoid for the transmission is faulty. Both the shift solenoid and the speed sensor on the transmission should be checked.
When we have this problem, we turn the ignition off and shift into neutral, restart the engine and it can then be shifted into drive or reverse.
