| Description of the problem | The first incident happened as i was driving to michigan from indiana, on a cold but clear day. Half way into michigan i ran into a light dusting of snow, and before i knew it my rear end started sliding to the right. At first i thought i hit a patch of ice, but i soon realized i'm the only one sliding all over the road. My top speed 40 to 45 mph. Everyone was passing me with no problems. When i got to my parents house, i went to discount tire and bought new rims and snow tires. The result no different. Last week i was heading to chicago, and ran into rain at 70 mph. Same situation as before. The rear stepped out and i almost caused an accident. I'm terrified driving this car. |
