Automatic Stability Control (asc) Problems of Nissan Maxima

On 9/12/22, my son purchased a 2009 Nissan Maxima from street cars. My son was told that the car did not pass the state inspection, but all items on the list were taken care of. The salesman noted the air intake tube would be ordered for the car and installed once received. My son paid $5299 in cash. My son wanted to pay with a cashier's check, but the salesperson requested cash. On the way home to woodbridge from fredericksburg, the vehicle began to slow down as if it were going to cut off. My son slowed down and proceeded home. On 9/13/22, my son went to minnieville exxon to have the vehicle emissions test completed, and the car was listed as "not ready. " in addition, seven (7) additional issues must be addressed before the vehicle can pass. We began calling the salesman at 11:45 am, sent a text message at 12:17 pm, and called until 1:30 pm. Due to what we felt were deceptive practices, we traveled to street cars in fredericksburg to speak with the salesman about returning the vehicle for a refund. The salesman stated the vehicle was sold "as is” and is on the bill of sales. We asked about the sign on the front of his business which states "3-day return policy". The salesman said it does not apply to cash cars or discounted cars. When asked about the items on the failed inspection report being taken care of, the salesperson refused to discuss it further. The salesperson stated my son should use the warranty, where he will be responsible for half the cost of all repairs. When the salesperson was asked about the air intake tube order, he refused to provide a confirmation number for the order, a telephone number, or a location for the company. My son did not receive any title paperwork and was told to sign the vehicle delivery form when items had not been received. We contacted asc warranty company which was provided with the vehicle, and they told us to take the car to any automotive repair shop for an estimate. We took the vehicle to sheehy Nissan in manas.

The car is becomes unstable and difficult to control when going over bumps, even at moderate speeds (20+ mph). When going over bumps, there is a loud thump / clunk / bang from the rear suspension - and then the rear of the car looses traction/stability. Nissan must be aware of a design issue issue as it has issued a TSB trying to solve the inferior bushings it chose for the rear suspension - service bulletin ntb17-107. However this does not solve the instability problem. I find myself driving at half the legal speeds to keep the car stable - the need to slow down for each bump is creating a road hazard. Driving on the same roads with my other cars at much higher speeds (road legal speeds), I do not experience anything like that. The stability control function does not seem to help and it lights up frequently when driving on bumpy roads. I found myself veering of the road several times because of the difficulty to control the car. This must be a terrible and dangerous design flaw. In roads that I can drive the legal speed in a Hyundai sonana or Toyota 4runner (45 - 65mph) I sometimes need to cut speed in half when driving the Nissan Maxima sr just to keep the car stable on the road.

I am having problems with my 2005 Maxima front end shaking when I start braking. I have had my tires rotated balanced and re-aligned but am still having problems.
