| Description of the problem | I am writing to inform you of a safety concern i have with my 2007 nissan altima hybrid. The vehicle is equipped with tcs and vdc. On december 13, 2007 we got approximately 6 inches of snow during the day while i was at work. On my way home i approached switzer hill road and saw that it had been sanded so i turned and started up the hill. Approximately 40 yards up the hill the tcs light came on and my car stopped. The front wheels would not turn at all. I was forced to turn around on the hill and come back down. I was very fortunate that no one was coming down the hill at that time or it could have been disastrous for my self and/or others. The owner |
