| Everything exept for brakes can be due to a belt breaking (steering pump and alternator not working any more), but that does not explain the brakes losing their assist. I think that could happen if intake manifold somehow lost its vacume. Is the engine running at all? |

Welcome to the forum.
Is it possible the engine stalled as you were approaching your driveway? That would explain the hard steering, eventual loss of brake boost and the numerous warning lamps.

But not the fact that it started back up and the throttle still doesn't work.
This is a weird one. Still under warranty by any chance? If so, have the dealer send out a tow truck to haul it in and check it out. If not, might want to call AAA (if you have them) and try to get it towed to a reliable (i.e. non-nissan) mechanic. |

just be thankful that this happened on your driveway and not somewhere else.....
the throttle is by wire so maybe the computer has gone stupid..... maybe they have to reset the computer.... |
