I WAS DRIVING IN SNOW AND SLIPPERY CONDITIONS AND AS I STARTED TO ACCELERATE I COULD FEEL THAT THE SNOW WAS HAVING AN EFFECT ON MY TRUCKS TRACTION AND WITH THAT THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON MY DASHBOARD TO INFORM ME THAT ONE OF MY DRIVE WHEELS MUST BE LOOSING TRACTION. AFTER MOVING ALONG AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS ON DRY SALT TREATED PAVEMENT THE ABS, BRAKE, ESP,AND BAS, LIGHT ALL CAME ON AND HAVE NOT GONE OFF SINCE. I AM NOT SURE WHAT EFFECT THIS WILL HAVE ON MY BRAKING ABILITY IF TRACTION BECOMES AN ISSUE OR IF HEAVY BRAKING IS INVOLVED. *TR

WHEN FILLING MY VEHICLE WITH GAS THE TANK GETS FULL AND THE PUMP STOPS BUT ONLY AFTER SPITTING FUEL ALL OVER THE GROUND.

THIS SEEMS SUPER DANGEROUS. *TR
