Consumer Description

THIS HAPPENED 2 TIMES TODAY. THE FIRST OCCURRENCE HAPPENED WHEN TURNING LEFT AT AN INTERSECTION TO MERGE ONTO A HIGHWAY. AT 15 MPH DURING THE (OBTUSE) LEFT TURN I SWITCHED THE VEHICLE TO 2ND GEAR AND THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT BLINKED A FEW TIMES WHILE CUTTING POWER TO MY ENGINE. THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME SAW THIS AND THANKFULLY DIDN'T HIT ME. THE 2ND TIME HAPPENED AS I WAS TAKING A LEFT INTO A SHOPPING CENTER. WHILE STATIONARY I STARTED RELEASING THE CLUTCH WHILE APPLYING GAS IN 1ST GEAR. THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT BLINKED A FEW TIMES AND CUT POWER AGAIN WHILE IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC, BUT THIS TIME THERE WERE VEHICLES COMING TOWARDS ME. LUCKILY THE VEHICLE RESTORED POWER IN TIME FOR ME NOT TO GET T-BONED. THIS IS A GOOD VEHICLE BUT THE TRACTION CONTROL IS SERIOUSLY FLAWED.
