| When making a turn onto an unlevel paved road (such as turning onto a road when traveling up or down a small hill, or a road with an uneven surface), my car consistently loses traction and decelerates. when this happens, the electronic stability program/traction control system indicator light flashes. i have also noticed the same problem when driving on wet roads, and when driving on lightly sandy surfaces (such as the roads along our beach nearby). when this happens, the car often slows to an unsafe speed and is dangerous, especially when making a turn to cross a road with oncoming traffic. i purchased this car 2 years ago for myself, with the intention of giving it to my daugher when she reached driving age this year. with this defect, i do not trust this vehicle as safe for her to drive unless this problem gets resolved. | |||
