Default Looking for an idea.. anyone??

**I know i already posted this in a different section, but im thinking it will get more views here!**

Ok, can anyone give me a little help.. dont know what's wrong.. (the car is a 2003 z350.. i picked it up barely 2 weeks ago)
Im driving down the road, i stop at the red light, light turns green so im turning left, i punch it, and as soon as i round the corner, i hear something let go. Immediately i notice my check engine light, and my AT (automatic transmission) light goes on, AND my shift light that tells me what position i am in, drive, park, etc, is now blank.. nothing at all. I get to the next red light, and all my other gauges are fine. I leave the light, and its extremely sluggish, and i start to notice a smell like burnt rubber, or burnt clutch like smell. I get home, and take a look to notice that the A/C serpentine belt is half shredded, but the half that is still on still spins. The next day i bring it to nissan to change the belts, figuring this is the problem, and all will be fine after the new belts are installed. Not so, the mechanic tells me there is something very seriously wrong with the computer, or he's not quite sure, the car is in some kind of mode, and the tranny is trying to leave in 2nd or 3rd gear, thats why it is sluggish. Also, it does not start right away, it takes a few tries to actually start the car. He didn't put it on the diagnostics because it was rounding 5pm, but it does go in next tuesday. of course the car just rounded 61 000km (canada) and the basic warranty is over.
Now has anyone ever heard of this or had anything similar? Any help would be much appreciated.

if you got it private... then you're probably SOL. If you got it from a dealer. Take it back to the dealer and have them get you a new car or change everything on there.

Cheers,
