Traction Control System problem of Ford Explorer
The vehicle involved was a 2011 Ford Explorer. I was driving on a major street during heavy afternoon traffic. The steering became extremely difficult and I could barely turn the wheel. The warning lights for advanced traction failure and power steering assist fault came on. I also noticed the terrain management control was no longer illuminated. I tried to turn off the road into the driveway but it was extremely difficult. I am a reasonably strong adult woman and had to use all my strength to turn the wheel even slightly while slowly moving. When I managed to get the car into a safe place I put the car in park and turned it off. When the car was started again, it returned to normal and I was able to drive it. Three days later, the same thing happened with another driver while I was a passenger. The older male driver had similar difficulty steering and turning the vehicle. I took the vehicle to the Ford dealership for service. They repaired the rack and pinion steering for an estimated cost of over $2000. The mileage on the vehicle was approximately 36,400 miles so about 400 miles past the warranty. We were able to get Ford to reduce the cost to approximately $750, some of which was for the alignment that was necessary following the repair. This incident could have been far worse with devastating results. I am a mom and girl scout leader and transport children frequently throughout the day. At the time of the incident I had 4 children in my vehicle. The failure date was March 21, 2014.

Traction Control System problem of Mazda MAZDA3
The car is a 2012 Mazda Mazda3. I was driving on the freeway when suddenly the traction control indicator lit up on my dashboard. When I exited the freeway and attempted to make a left turn, my car suddenly lost power. It was as if my car was in neutral. I looked at the gear shift to ensure it was still in drive, and it was. Somehow I made it through the turn and into a nearby parking lot. I turned the car off, waited a few minutes, and then was able to leave. It was scary and upsetting as my car is only 4 months old. The dealer said they won't be able to determine what happened since the indicator is no longer illuminated. I asked if there was any way at all to do a diagnostic test and they said no. I am having a hard time believing this. I'm just glad I wasn't rear ended with my grand baby in the back seat. It was Sunday, Oct. 7, 2012 when this traction control system issue happened.

Traction Control System problem of Mazda MAZDA6
The vehicle was a 2005 Mazda Mazda6. I had a strange incident with my 2005 Mazda 6 s 4-cylinder automobile. I am reporting this in case there might be a pattern that results in further investigation. The context is with respect to the automobile's traction control system. I was driving on a wet road where the rain had stopped about an hour earlier. There was no standing water as the rain had been light anyway. I was on a three-lane (6-lanes total) narrow divided highway going about 45 mph. From the middle lane, I was entering the left lane as a fast driver in that lane passed by me. As I was entering the lane, this driver who had been pulling ahead quickly, hit their brakes and decided to move into the middle lane (and maybe further to make the exit). At this point, I tapped my brakes and it was then that my vehicle started moving hard right and eventually turning into the oncoming traffic. I was trying to steer it in the other direction but it continued moving. In the end, it was like back-to-back u-turns but there was no crash, damage, or injuries. During the incident I felt that I had little control over the vehicle and the whole incident was baffling since I have driven almost all of the 47,000 miles on the car in all kinds of weather with no such experience or even hint of such an experience. While it could have been many things that caused this, I think that the situation may have been started and then exacerbated by the traction control system. After tapping my brakes, I think the traction control system detected the uneven speed of my front wheels and engaged to begin regulating the speed of the vehicle and continued during most of the incident an exacerbating the problem. I understand this is a complex problem with difficult to analyze causes. I am reporting this in case others have had this same issue and a pattern emerges. It was Apr. 1, 2012 when this traction control system issue occurred.

Traction Control System problem of Mercedes Benz ML320
The vehicle involved is a 2001 Mercedes Benz Ml320. We bought a used mercedes ml which had the bas/esp lights illuminated and immediately paid $1,268 to get this fixed before driving it anywhere. We told the dealer we would be going on a 600 mile trip. It seemed to be fixed, but after several hundred miles of driving on the way back for hours the bas/esp light came on again. It was in the middle of the night and there was no one to call to check on this, and the dealer never told us it could be dangerous. All of the sudden a few hours later one of the wheels locked up and sent us out of control winding up on the side of the highway. My wife and our two kids were nearly killed. This is an extremely dangerous safety issue that has been reported previously years ago. If this had happened while going the speed limit of 70mph down the hill next to the deep ravine I am sure we would have all been killed or seriously injured. This is a serious safety issue. Please protect consumers by issuing a recall on any mercedes with the bas/esp feature. This is very likely to cause serious injuries or fatalities at any point in the future. We had no idea. Please warn consumers. What if my wife was driving the car? she does not know how to handle this situation like I did. We bought this as my daughters first vehicle. Now what am I going to do? I don't feel right selling this car to anyone else or letting my family drive it. The system does not properly warn consumers. After parking the car overnight the bas/esp system is no longer lit up. This is an accident waiting to happen again as my dealer will probably find "nothing wrong with it". They could have at least warned us or replaced all of the sensors as a precaution. It was Friday, April 9, 2010 when this traction control system issue happened.

Traction Control System problem of Mercury Monterey
The vehicle is a 2006 Mercury Monterey. The vehicle's vehicle identification number (VIN) was 2MRDA22276_. I do not know the dates or mileages at the time, I'm sure it was over 36,000 miles or else I would have taken it into the dealer. Actually the first time I may have, and they probably said "your car didn't throw out a code" I've heard that many times. . . On at least two occasions, possibly three, I hit the brakes *lightly* in dry weather and it sets off the traction control. One time I was rushing my son to the hospital and I could not go over 40 miles an hour, I was on a highway so I could not safely pull over (that was not the first time it had happened so I knew I needed to stop and shut the car off to "reset" it. I just cried all the way to the hospital). I believe it went off when I tapped the brakes to get onto the onramp, I had a "yield". Another time I was on a busy two-lane road with traffic behind me, that may have been the first time it happened because I was freaked out. I could not go the minimum speed on the road and I could not pull over (no shoulder). At the stop light I did everything I could think of to get it working again. I tried shifting into park, but that did not help. I think I made it to the next light and turned the car off and it restarted fine. Actually, this issue probably happened 4 or 5 times overall. I believe it happened to my husband once, then he finally believe me. This should be looked into as well. It was Jan. 1, 2010 when this traction control system issue happened.

Traction Control System problem of Mercury Monterey
The VIN of the problem Monterey is 2MRDA22227_. About 1 out of every 100 times I drive my 2007 Mercury Monterey van, the "advancetrac" system engages for no apparent reason. I lose control of acceleration, and must pull over, stop, and completely shut down the van, and start it up again to regain control. I have taken it to the dealer and told them about it, but they don't do anything because they say it doesn't happen when they test drive it. This has occurred on sunny days, on dry pavement, on highways, back roads, anytime anywhere really. I have not been in an accident because of it, but have almost been hit several times trying to get out of the way when it has happened. It is always very scary and very frustrating that the dealer won't do anything about it. This traction control system problem happened on Sunday, January 10, 2010.

Traction Control System problem of Subaru Outback
Vehicle identification number (VIN) of the vehicle is 4S4BP61C18_. I have a 2008 Subaru Outback equipped with good winter tires. At highway speeds on winter roads my car is extremely unstable. For no apparent reason the rear end of the car starts to sway and I am only able to bring it under control by bringing down my speed, and I end up traveling much slower then the traffic flow. My brother in law has the same car and experiences this problem as well with his vehicle. There is a design and engineering flaw with this car and Subaru needs to comes to grips with it and come up with a solution. This car is unsafe on slick winter roads. It was Nov. 20, 2010 when this traction control system issue occurred.

Traction Control System problem of Subaru Outback
Our 2007 Subaru Outback fishtails all over the place on icy roads that all other vehicles safely travel on at twice the speed as we are able to do in our Outback. This isn't the driver or the tires. This is the car. I have never experienced this issue with any other car I have ever owned (Honda crv, Saturn sw2, 2wd GMC s-15, chevy corsica) and I have driven in similar conditions many times. It is miserable and feels very dangerous when you don't feel in control of your vehicle at 30 mph on icy roads that everyone else is traveling 50-60 mph on. I've only experienced the problem when the car is fully loaded. The car feels extremely stable on snowpack and dry/wet pavement. But as soon as roads have some ice on them, this car becomes garbage (just when you need a car to be at it's best). I have witnessed this event twice now in less than 2 years of ownership. Once in central illinois, and once in northern colorado. These are also the only two icy road conditions that this car has been on. I would expect this vehicle to behave this same miserable way every time as it has exhibited this characteristic 100% of the time on icy highway roads. It was Sun., Feb. 6, 2011 when this traction control system issue happened.

Traction Control System problem of Suzuki SX4
The car involved was a 2008 Suzuki Sx4. Crash happened when the problem occurred. When traction control kicks in, the rear end of the vehicle comes forward causing the vehicle to fishtail. I lost control on a straight road because I applied the brakes on a powdered snow covered road. I didn't slam the brakes, I lightly applied them. After going off the road, the car rolled in a violent spin. The nose hit the ground on the front right corner and blew the front right tire. The driver's side then slammed into a rock wall which buckled the roof ten inches and pushed the driver's side pillar post in about eight inches, and pushed the driver's door in almost to the steering wheel. The car spun then it hit the ground two more times and blew both of the driver's side tires. Not one of the eight airbags went off. My top speed that day was 40 mph. I was driving through the mountains and I went off the road and off an embankment and downhill I went. My main concern on that car is that the airbags did not go off. The driver's side window also shattered and I'm still pulling tiny glass slivers out of my left ear and much of it was pulled out of my scalp. I'm not sure if anything can be done about shatterproofing a side window, but if it can be done, it should be, especially when the side airbags aren't going off. The jack was stowed in the trunk in it's proper holding position and the holder broke during the impact and the jack was loose in the back seat of the car where my kids sit. I would feel better if it had a more secure holder or if it could be stowed better for times when the trunk is empty. This problem occurred on Nov. 26, 2010.

Traction Control System problem of Toyota Prius
The vehicle involved was a 2005 Toyota Prius. The VIN of this vehicle was JTDKB20U08_. The traction control override repeatedly engages arbitrarily under various circumstances, including hitting bumps/potholes at 35 mph and accelerating from a stop on both wet and dry roads. I have seen reports online of people expressing their concern about this feature in snow, but our Prius does it frequently. Aside from the inconvenience, this is a clear safety hazard when attempting to pull out into traffic. We have been told by the dealer that this feature cannot be disabled, but it would seem to me that it needs to be to avoid potential collisions. This issue happened on Friday, April 30, 2010.

Traction Control System problem of Toyota Sienna
The vehicle involved is a 2005 Toyota Sienna. On my 2005 Toyota xle limited, the traction control system engaged on its own while driving about 50 mph on a flat road in dry conditions, as a result the brakes engaged on its own and the car shook profusely for a couple of seconds. I had to hold onto the steering wheel to maintain control and avoid going into the neighboring lane. My 2005 Toyota Sienna has 84,000 miles on it. There have been two other incidences when the traction control engaged but the brakes did not. I have only owned the car for 1 week and I am communicating with Toyota but I they have yet to organize a recall for this very dangerous problem. I plan to drive to canada in this car so I hope we can find a solution. It was Nov. 6, 2013 when this traction control system issue occurred.

Traction Control System problem of Volvo XC90
My 2004 Volvo Xc90 has experience a sudden electrical failure. While driving in city conditions all internal electronics including speed & fuel gauges, turn light indicators, audio system, air circulation and supplemental restraint system have turned off while the engine continued to operate. This made the car impossible to drive as no feedback on speed or ability to indicate a turn or a stop was possible. This occurred suddenly and without any warning. I was unable to fix this by restarting the car. According to basic research, this is a common issue with Volvo cars made circa 2003-4 and involve a defective cem (car electronics module). In other incidents engines have also shut down unexpectedly and brakes became inoperable. This is a serious safety issue that needs to be addressed. The failure date was 03/01/2010.

Traction Control System problem of Cadillac CTS
The vehicle involved is a 2012 Cadillac Cts-v. The vehicle's vehicle identification number (VIN) is 1G6DV8EPXC_. I took my car through a car wash and afterwards, the traction control system indicated a failure on the dash warning light. At the same time the engine lost significant power, and I'm told by the dealer that this is due to inhibiting half of the injectors if the tc system fails. The tc system "healed itself" after the car dried out for a day and this is not the focus of my complaint. Anyone can drive a car safely without a traction control system in operation, however, a non-responsive engine due to the programmed shutdown of half of the injectors is extremely dangerous. The car was barely able to accelerate in street traffic, and if the tc failure had happened on the freeway, I would have been in a very bad situation, unable to maintain safe speed just to get off of the freeway. This is a design flaw and should be re-evaluated. Updated 05/22/2012. The failure date was April 16, 2012.
