I have a 2001 Nissan Maxima SE with 196,000 miles. It had an oil change about a month ago. The car is modded, but it only has cosmetic mods.

For the past couple days, the engine has made a whining noise when accelerating. I figured I'd just take it in this weekend.

I was getting off the interstate today and my clock and radio slowly faded to dark. I was about a mile from my destination so I figured I'd just try to make it there. About 20 seconds later the car starts jumping and all my emergency lights and chimes start going off. Then I lost ABS, airbags, powersteering, etc. Luckily, I was right by the Nissan dealership. So I pull into the intersection to cross 3 lanes of traffic and the car dies right in the middle of the intersection. I was in motion when the car died.

Thankfully some Nissan mechanics saw the whole thing happen and helped me push it across the intersection and into the lot.

The car is at the dealership now. I just want to hear what you guys think happened since I know a lot of you know what you're talking about.
