I've had a couple of "issues" with my manual GLS with the traction control.
1. My son let out the clutch a little quick in reverse low range on a mildly slippery track and the traction control stepped in and (I believe) braked the wheels, then released, then braked again, continuously when power was applied. I took over and eased the clutch out very carefully, still got a little braking but managed to move the car. I've had no issues climbing extremely slippery rocky slopes (100mm rocks on a steep incline, car scrabbling to a halt through loss of traction, not braking). This one seems to be traction control?
2. Yesterday on a dry road, sweeping bend, about 40kmh in I think third gear I hit a small (maybe an inch high) bump on the road and lost power, looking down the ASTC light was on. After a second it all returned to normal and off I went. This one seems to be stability control?
I had an ML for 5 years, then a Pathfinder before finding my way back to tritons with the MQ and never had a car brake itself to a stop in low range before. I've seen stability control work on slippery or wet roads ( I may have been pushing it hard to see what happens ), but never a dry bumpy road.
Anyone else had this?
