Consumer Description

CAR CANNOT BE DRIVEN IN SNOW. IF TRYING TO START FROM A COMPLETE STOP IN 1" OF SNOW, THE TRACTION CONTROL WILL CUT POWER TO THE WHEELS, LEAVING YOU STUCK IN PLACE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AS IT CAN LEAVE THE DRIVER STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION AS HAPPENED TO ME TODAY. FORD HAS SINCE ADDED A WAY TO DISABLE THE TRACTION CONTROL, BUT THIS MODEL YEAR IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS IN THE SNOW. *TR
