What's Wrong with my car

So i took my car to the dealership in lynbrook the other day b/c my power steering wasn't working. So they tell me there was a leak. So i get my car back and they said the problem is fixed. So i got back my car drive home and notice it still isn't fix. And to add insult to injury i'm driving once i hit 40mph and my foot is still on the gas my car just revs. So i put my car in tiptronic shift fine 1st through 3rd gear when i got to shift into 4th it just revs like i'm missing the gear then i try to shift into 5th and the same thing happens. That never happened before. It feels like I have no 4th or 5th gear. I hope they take care of this on friday when i go back to the dealership. What do you guys think is wrong with it?


And the PROBLEM IS MY TRANNY IS BROKEN LOL

They musta drained some of your tranny fluid and filled up your power steering pump with it... Dam Infiniti dealers... Shneaky shneaky...

























Just kidding... But it does sound pretty fishy... Why do you have to wait til Friday? Get it in sooner...

they might not have fixed your issue and it sounds like somehow they got the car to go to limp mode. ecu reset should fix that, not sure about the steering.
