Description of the problem	The abs system on the 2009 nissan frontier malfunctions any time full braking is required when any snow cover is on the road surface. When depressing the brake during those conditions, you must anticipate a stop and slow speed through the accelerator to coast to a stop. If you depress the brake to full or near the brakes start to jump (felt through the foot pedal and steering wheel) making an audible noise and the vehicle slides uncontrolled. Following purchase of the vehicle in late 2008 and after numerous incidents on light to heavy snowy conditions i took the vehicle to buckeye nissan in january 2009 where it was purchased. I insisted the service technician ride with me through the snowy parking lot to test so he could understand the situation. After we tested the braking system, he told me this was "normal with abs systems". I have 4 vehicles, all with abs and nothing can come close to this. I cannot believe this is "normal". A very scary and dangerous situation. I have no doubt that if you had to suddenly apply the brakes, the vehicle would crash and/or roll over. I have wanted to go to a dealership and test drive a similar vehicle when the conditions are comparable, however, i do not live in an area where a dealer is nearby and have been unable to travel out of town to perform a comparison on my own. I do not know if this is an isolated incident with defective brakes, or if this is indeed "standard" for this model. If it is the standard, definitely needs attention.
