EVERY SINGLE DAY MULTIPLE TIMES A DAY MY ABS LIGHT COMES ON CARS TRANSMISSION JERKS AROUND OR WHATEVER IT IS. I HAVE TO PULL OVER AND TURN VEHICLE OFF AND RESTART TO DRIVE AGAIN. I MAY HAVE TO DO THAT A FEW TIMES IN A MILE. I THINK IT'S A SAFETY CONCERN. IT COULD BE IN MOTION OR STOPPED CAR WANTS TO LUNGE FORWARD

WHEN I DRIVE IN THE WINTER TIME AND APPLY THE BRAKES ON A SLIPPERY ROAD THE CAR DOESN'T WANT TO STOP NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES I TRY TO USE THE BRAKES. INSTEAD, THE BRAKES POP AND CLICK UNTIL MY CAR SLOWS DOWN ON ITS OWN. I ENDED UP SLIDING LITERALLY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET AT A BUSY INTERSECTION. OTHER DRIVERS WERE AWARE MY CAR WAS HAVING TROUBLE STOPPING AND ALLOWED ME TO PROCEED. THAT HAPPENED IN THE 1ST TIME IN DECEMBER 2017. THE FOLLOWING YEAR I HAD MY BRAKES CHECK AND THE SERVICE STATION CLAIMED THE COULDN'T FIND ANY THING WRONG WITH THEM. I HAD MY BRAKES SERVICED BEFORE THE WINTER OF 2018. MY BRAKES STILL DO THE EXACT SAME THING ALL WINTER LONG ON THE SLIPPERY STREETS. ALSO I'M HAVING TROUBLE TRYING TO TURN THE KEY IN THE IGNITION BECAUSE IT'S LOCKED. WHEN I FINALLY MANAGED TO GET THE CAR UP AND RUNNING A LITTLE WHILE LATER IT WANTS TO STALL. THIS JUST HAPPENED THE LAST 2 DAYS. I'M GOING TO GET THAT SERVICED ASAP. THAT DAY WAS NOVEMBER 23, 2019. THIS VEHICLE HAS SEVERAL ISSUES AND IT'S ONLY 3 YRS OLD. THAT'S NOT A GOOD SIGN.

I HAVE TAKEN MY BRAND NEW NISSAN TO THE DEALER 6 TIMES NOW. BREAKS KEEP MAKING A NOISE LIKE A TAPPING NOISE WHILE DRIVING. THE LAST TIME I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND PICKED IT UP AFTER A WEEK THE BREAKS ARE SCREECHING TO THE POINT WHERE I CANNOT DRIVE.
