When the road conditions are slightly bad, such as even a little ice, snow, or even on gravel, the traction control light comes on, and the brake pedal refuses to despress. It is not like anti-lock brakes (the brakes aren't pumping like they should with the ABS) Though my bf says that he's not sure that we have ABS, though I'm pretty sure our manual says that we do (and its icy enough outside neither one of us wants to go get it right now).
But the basic issue is that the traction control (we think) is causing us to actually lose control, and causing our brakes to not work when we need them, and thus we are spinning out of control alot (thankfully, because God seems to really love us, we haven't had any actual accidents because of it).
So question #1 is-- What do you think is causing this
Question #2 is -- What can we do about it
Question #3 is -- Is there a way to turn off traction control, would it be safe to do so, or is it actually a problem with the brakes?
