Description of the problem	Over the course of several months, the "slip" indicator light on my dashboard would blink as the right front wheel locked up and i would hear a grinding noise. My nissan dealer could not duplicate this event. When this lock up would happen, the car "pulled" violently to the right and i would lose control of the car. When these events would happen my vehicle speed would be between 25 and 40 mph and on a dry road and either driving straight or around a minor curve. On sat. 5/30 while driving between 35 and 45 mph the slip light came on 3 times within 10 minutes. The first time a violent pull to the right with loss of control causing me to go onto the shoulder of the road. The second time, both front brakes engaged and the car almost came to a complete stop and the car behind me missed rear ending me by 5-6 feet. The third time both front wheels locked up pulling me to the right. No damage. There is no warning when these events happen. Sudden and shocking loss of vehicle control. The brakes lights do not come on. My nissan dealer tells me that there have been no "codes" in the past, but on sat. The vehicle "threw" a code indicating the yaw/g force sensor had failed. As the driver of the car, you are out of control and risking your life, property,and the safety of other motorists. This dangerous condition can lead to accidents, property damage, injury and possibly death.
