My xterra was sitting in my driveway on thursday june 13th and at 2 am my roommates come knocking on my door saying my front end of my car fell. i got up and looked and sure enough it had dropped. had it towed to a mechanic shop and they said both torsion bars were broke. i had to take it to the dealer to get it fixed because they would not touch it. no can believe that i was not driving it when this happened, my xterra had been sitting for 7 hours when this happened. it is hard to believe both broke at the same time and while it was sitting in the driveway. *tr
Exiting one freeway (315s) to enter another (270w). on a light wet ground, my xterra spun off the road doing a spin (approx 360 degrees) off the road. there was a light rain 5-10 mins prior, i was doing nor more than 25mph on the exit and without a known reason, and despite tires with tread, the vehicle spun out of control. i purschased this vehicle used and i attempt not to drive this vehicle in the winter because of it not being able to maintain the road in the snow. in addition, if i hit a bump, the rear wheels jerk/skips when it makes contact back with the ground. *tr
