Consumer Description

ON CLEAR, DRY PAVEMENT AT MODERATE (50MPH -60 MPH) HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THE TRACTION CONTROL HAS UNEXPECTEDLY ENGAGED. THIS HAS OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES ON BOTH SLIGHT BANKING TURNS AND ON STRAIGHT SECTIONS OF ROADWAY. PREVIOUS TO EACH INCIDENT THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER PREDICTABLE DRIVER CONTROL WITH NO SUDDEN STEERING CHANGES; YET THE TRACTION CONTROL ACTIVATED CAUSING SUDDEN BRAKING, DIFFICULTY STEERING, AUDIBLE ALARM SOUNDS, AND DASHBOARD TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT ILLUMINATION. THE VEHICLE IS DIFFICULT TO CONTROL DURING THE 5- 10 SECOND DURATIONS. CONTINUED SAFE DRIVING CAN ONLY BE DONE BY MANUALLY DISENGAGING THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM. I NOTE THAT TIRES WERE RECENTLY REPLACED AND FRONT END WHEEL ALIGNMENT WAS PERFORMED. *TR
