| 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 | |||
