Description of the problem | Traction control issue.... During snowstorm , trying to drive up a hill with a left hand turn , tires lost traction and car electronically reduced rpm speed... Loss of speed almost sent car sideways into ditch. Had to turn around and get run at hill 4 more times.... Each time when traction with tires was broken ... Rpms were dropped to nothing leaving car stopped near stalling in middle of hill. Will be dealing with dealership soon.. I feel that the fix for this is going to be remove fuse for traction control..... Or disable traction control system.. This car is a stick shift... I can see how another 120 reports on this page with auto transmissions, may be the same issue..... |
