| I was driving normal speed limit 60 mph on the fwy when we heard a noise like a big pop sound. right away when i tried to slow down to get over ( when i applied the brake) the steering wheel began shaking so bad that i was unable to control the wheel. it felt as if the brakes werent working. the car spun out of control and crashed in the carpool divider. this was a brand new nissan altima 2010 coupe with 60k miles on the car. we did not hit anything at the time or even before the accident occured, all parts on the car was brand new. i remembered that the more that i tried to apply the brakes the steering wheel shock harder and harder to where i was unable to even control it. | |||
