“On several occasions my car as suddenly cutoff, while driving!!!! Luckily, nobody was ever physically hurt. Mentally and emotionally it scared the crap out of several people, including myself. While on the expressway I've started to notice my car automatically slowing down after a certain speed, without me even touching the brakes. For awhile I stopped getting on the expressway, in fear of my car completely stopping with cars driving behind me at a faster pace. Also, at 55 + miles/hr my tires start to wobble and there's a scrubbing noise with the wobble sometimes. …”

Took back a few days later, whereupon they told me they would need vehicle for a whole day and would not fix it right then and there, that I would have to come back. I took to another Nissan dealership and explained problem to them. They took off the front air deflector and it fixed loud rattling. …”
