What owners wrote
Mossy Nissan El Cajon, didn't report an accident that the car was involved in prior to the sale of the car to me. This car sustained front end damage. Resulting in a repair to the frame/sway bar. Thus effecting the steering and suspension of the car. This car was repaired and paid for by an insurance company. However, Nissan didn't disclose this information, so that the end result was the sale of the car.
I was driving to work on a dry road and my traction control light came on and stayed on. So I pulled over turned off the vehicle waited a few minutes and started off again. As soon as I started movie the traction control light came on and stayed on again.
