Consumer Description

THE TRACTION CONTROL IS CONSTANTLY ENGAGING EVEN UNDER IDEAL DRIVING SITUATIONS. IT ENGAGES WHILE DRIVING AND TURNING AT SLOW SPEEDS. ALSO WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED A NOISE IS HEARD AND A SLIGHT PUSH BACK OF THE BRAKE PEDAL OCCURS. NOISE IS POSSIBLY FROM THE ABS. SINCE THE TWO (TC AND ABS) ARE LINKED IT COULD BE DISRUPTING ONE OR THE OTHER. I HAVE SEARCHED SEVERAL FORUMS AND MANY CONSUMERS ARE COMPLAINING OF THE SAME PROBLEM. MANY HAVE TRIED SEVERAL SOLUTIONS, BUT THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. I PERSONALLY HAVE DISCONNECTED AND CLEANED THE CONNECTIONS BEHIND THE WHEELS AS MENTIONED BY OTHERS. THAT WORKED FOR A MONTH OR SO WHEN THE PROBLEM RETURNED. I HAVE HEARD OTHERS CHANGE THE WIRING HARNESS TO NO AVAIL. *TR
