Try changing your tranny fluid.

Agreed, if your car runs fine, but bogs randomly, then the first thing I'd check is that autotragic tranny. Go get the fluid flushed, I think its about $90 at Nissan and about $60 at your neiborhood lube place.

Just to clarify, if you did not come to a COMPLETE stop, you will not drop to 1st, so it will feel bogged down and sluggish. Crawling will still keep you in 2nd gear.

Pearl white is a bit*h to touch up, the paint process is very complicated because of the different layers involved (base, pearl, etc). Cheaper is not an option, try www.paintscratch.com

This is way out there, but watch your OD light when it does that. The OD has a safety feature that will stick the car in 3rd gear when it has problems.

Buy a Haynes Manual, and it shows you how to troubleshoot the transmission using the OD light to spit out diagnostics codes.
