What owners wrote

I bought my nissan altima 2.4s special edition package in december 2006. I was going back from my office to home for lunch and just near my office when I was in the right lane of the "corporate drive" to take a right turn on to "tennyson pkwy", the car suddenly went on the right curb and it was really difficult to control.
