| Description of the problem | I own a frontier 2003 xe crew cab model, and one day running on the highway at about 90+ mph,suddenly it loose the traction that keep the vehicle in motion for a moment and back again. I think that truck chassis suddenly lost the weight that keep the truck aside to the ground caused by the air flow under the truck (aerodynamic effect) so i got very nervous because it could cause to loose control on the truck with causing potential injures to myself furthermore the incident came up with out notice. My first thought was that probably there were some problem with the fuel engine system but no light at the panel came on. *nm |
