Consumer Description

THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM ON THE VEHICLE IS A HAZARD. WITH NO MORE THAN 3-4 INCHES OF SNOW THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE TO GET ME AND OCCUPANTS OUT OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. A CLOSE CALL WHEN MY ONLY OPTION WAS TO BACK UP AND THE PEOPLE BEHIND ME TO OFFER ME ROOM. THE VEHICLE SITS WITH THE ACCELERATOR FLOOR OR MODULATED BUT WILL NOT MOVE. AFTER READING THE OWNERS MANUAL IT TELLS ME " IN SOME INSTANCES OF DEEP SNOW" (NOT!) TURN OFF THE TRACTION CONTROL VIA THESE 4-5 STEPS. HOW THE HELL ARE YOU GOING TO DO THAT WHEN YOUR GOING TO GET HIT. IN MY ESTIMATION THIS IS A HAZARD! THEIR TRACTION CONTROL IS A DANGER IT DOES NOT WORK PERIOD. MY WIFE AND I WERE SCARED NEEDLESS TO SAY. TRY IT, YOU'LL SEE WHAT I MEAN. *TR
