Description of the problem | This vehicle cannot tolerate even the slightest bit of slush or snow or ice on the road. The wheels start to spin and it goes nowhere. Many times in light wintery conditions, the vehicle failed to handle the winter conditions, especially on any kind of an incline, and my whole county is located on one big incline. This vehicle is supposed to have full time traction control. That's laughable. On the slightest incline with 1/4" of slush on the road, we were forced to turn around and take a route that is flat. The car just cannot handle it. I cannot give it to any of my daughters as they all live further north than we do. It needs to go to a florida or texas or california owner. |
