| Description of the problem | Sometimes when i start my car the traction control light is on (meaning traction control is off) this has happened twice in the last month. It turns on just fine when i press the button and the light goes away. Until yesterday i was driving i was accelerating at the bottom of a small hill about to reach the bottom of it. (i was going 15-20mph) the light flashed on and of really fast (like strobe light fast) and my car felt like the break was pressed and let go with the light. While i was trying to speed up the car wouldn't. (like if you went break, gas, break, gas ect,) this happened for a couple seconds till i let go of the gas and it stopped. And everything went back to normal. While this was happening i also heard a grinding sound i'm not sure when it came from. This was on a straight city street the car was in automation mode with the 4 wheel drive mode set to automate. After this i went to a authorized dealer/mechanic. I don't remember what he said but he said my car was on a recall and i know for a fact that he is lying because i have checked multiple times 2 recalls for this type of car have been made and none effect my vehicle.(check by vin number) i can't trust the mechanic to look at the problem. |
