| Description of the problem | This car is absolutely scary on ice or snow. It may have a design flaw or something like that, but is extremely unstable on ice or snow. When you hit a patch of ice, the awd system pushes the tail out and makes the car feel like it will spin out. On roads where others are progressing in complete control, this car is going 40 with flashers on with the driver hanging on for dear life. This needs to be investigated before someone gets killed. |
