What owners wrote

I was driving normal speed limit 60 MPH on the fwy when we heard a noise like a big pop sound. Right away when I tried to slow down to get over ( when I applied the brake) the steering wheel began shaking so bad that I was unable to control the wheel. It felt as if the brakes weren't working. The car spun out of control and crashed in the carpool divider. This was a brand new nissan altima 2010 coupe with 60k miles on the car.

December 2010 CrashInjury

If I have to pump the brakes to get the car started, will I soon have to pump the brakes to stop?????? Vehicle not recognize the key. Happened several times prior to 6/15/2013. Just thought the key needed to be charged. But on this date I pull up at a hotel, checked in and went to move the car and it wouldn't start. Sat for an hour or two. Replaced battery a few weeks prior so it wasn't that. Had to be towed to a pepboys. Too late for a dealership, a saturday evening, and I was over 5 hours from home.
