Big Problem!!!!!!!!!!

Wuz up everybody. I just got my 2000 Sterling Mist SE automatic Last month at Manheim dealer auto auctions in Lancaster Pennsylvania. Boy can you get some good deals up there. I got my max with 45,810 miles on it just coming of of a lease from some lady who owned it and my friend who is a dealer got it for me for 12,460. It already passed inspection and i had to get the rotors turned. About a month ago i got all of the fluids changed and the oil. Since this past month, i have been "balling" or pushing my max on the weekends.Two days ago the "Service Engine Soon" light came on. Does any one know what the problem could be? Am i driving too fast? Please dont tell me my transmission is messed up. But i do still have the powertrain warranty. SORRY FOR THE LONG POST BUT ANYONE WHO HAS ANY INFO PLEASE WRITE BACK IMMEDIATELY. I AM DEBATING WHETHER I SHOULD LET NISSAN LOOK AT IT OR A MECHANIC
THANKS!!!!

probably the O2 sensor. Get the code pulled for free at autozone..

Most 2k autos need new soleniods/transmission control module. Most dealers will fix this under the 60K powertrain warranty.

a little OT, but I'm guessing in different parts of the country, slang is different because from what I know, "ballin" means spending crazy amounts of cash like its nothing, basically throwing money around for no real reason but to show off...

Re: Big Problem!!!!!!!!!!

My car had the same problem and it went away after a while - I thought that this is usually caused by a loose gas cap. Now I read that this can be caused by excessive condensation in the exhaust - which my car does seem to exhibit. Any ideas on that?

Anyways, now for a double-whammy the TCS OFF and SLIP lights just came on in conjunction with the MIL when I went out for a drive at lunch today. My car is still covered under the powertrain warranty - is there any way I can convince a dealer that this should be fixed courtesy of Nissan?
