1 Suspension problem

Failure Date: 06/02/2000

Trans axle snapped in half, taking suspension and steering knuckle with it.

2 Suspension problem

The car is extremely unstable in the rain. I have replaced the original tires with a better quality but that has not helped. Specifically, the car fish tails easily both during braking and/or turning in wet weather. This is not a driver related issue. I am a 47 year old accident free driver. I am trading the car because I do not believe that it is safe. In dry conditions the car is fine. I am extremely disappoined with t his performance and have found 2 others Altima owners who report the same problem. In florida we receive a lot of summer rain.
