Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: (1) i drove from chapel hill, nc to washington, dc the morning/afternoon of the alternator failure. i was sitting idle (with car and a/c on) in front of the vienna, va metro station waiting for a friend. i was driving myself and 3 other people to a concert being held that night (sunday june 26 2005) at nissan pavilion in bristown, va. (2) as i placed my car in park to drive away with my 3 friends inside i noticed that the car would not go over 1 or 2 mph. i stepped on the gas pedal, but the enginer would not rev. i placed the car in reverse...same thing. i placed the car in neutral and the car revved. the battery and parking light were on. after a few more attempts to get the car moving i decided to shut it off for a few minutes and try again. this time around the engine would not start. (3) i had the car towed by aaa to the nearest nissan dealer. they fixed (replaced?) the alternator and i was able to pick it up again that evening.
