Answer
Raj,

Sorry for taking so long to answer the question.  I drove from Florida to Las Vegas after flying to Florida from Las Vegas.  

I would say the constantly variable transmission has broken.  In the United States Nissan provides a 100,000 mile warranty for this kind of transmission.  I know it is five years old but Nissan should be able to do something for you.
