From the first snow fall in Minnesota, I had to drive very slow, there is no traction, or control of the car. I had 2 spin outs, and one person hit me. I do not feel safe in this car, but you won't trade it in for me. I fear for my life, driving in Minnesota winter. The wheels just keep turning, and there is no way to control the car.

The brakes on this Frontier have problems. The brake pedal has to much free play, the brakes don't function till at least 2 inches off pressure and they feel spongy. I have taken the truck to 2 different dealers 3 times, they stated that it is normal and it is within factory specs, I don't agree with them. Iam concerned about getting into a accident. I did some research and there have been complaints since the 2006 model. You think they would have corrected it. This vehicle cost 30000 dollars and iam not happy about. I hope you can help me.
