Description of the problem | Date is approximate. When pulling into an uphill parking spot at my apartment building, the right front tire was on ice and the left front tire was on dry pavement. The right front wheel began to spin and i took my foot off the accelerator and was in the process of moving it to the brake pedal when the traction control slammed on the brakes on the right front wheel. Since the engine was a high rpm due to the spinning right front wheel, when the traction control locked the right front wheel, the vehicle began to accelerate rapidly toward the building. I managed to hit the brake pedal in time, but it could have resulted in an accident or the death of a pedestrian. |
