Description of the problem	I got my nissan 2 years ago as a graduation present from my parents. I have never been in a car accident or ran into anything ever from driving any car. One day i was driving on a country road, with no shoulders, near where i live and i went around a sharp turn and went off the road a little bit but then corrected myself and got back onto the road. Once i got back onto the road my car went out of control. The steering wheel started turning to the left and right uncontrollably and i pressed on the brakes and the car started sliding and spinning out of control from the wheel turning. The car then went to the other side of the road from the spinning and flipped over! I had to go to the hospital but i wasn't seriously injured and thank god no one else was in the car with me because they most likely would have been seriously injured because when the car flipped over the passenger side was the side that had the most damage, etc. My car is totaled and my parents are very angry with me, and i know i was driving faster than i should have, but i honestly believe that the car was a major contributor to the crash.
