I've owned many, many cars over my many many years, and I've never driven anything so bad on snow in my life (MYLR).
We have a couple of inches of snow on the slopped side roads (UK - High peak), after my wife returning from shopping complaining that the car was extremely bad and all over the place when other cars appeared to be fine. I took it for a drive.
Now although the car managed to crawl up them and I mean crawl, any steering input was met with the car going anywhere but where I was pointing it. It was beyond lose and unpredictable. I'd only been out for a minute or so, when I noticed that everything to do with safety had shut down including ABS, which I noticed when pushing the brakes while going down a slight slope and finding that I had nothing but an uncontrollable, unpredictable two ton sledge that was not following the steering wheel and not producing any ABS assistance, it was brakes off of it's all over the place. I found it absolutely frightening to drive, even at crawl. This is not like I am a bad driver either (I've had everything Mercedes, Porsche, Maserati, BMW), many rear wheel drive that will put you to the test and I'm not abusing the power in the slightest, even with the lowest power, it's horrendous. Even my rear wheel drive Mercedes is more stable than this car.
I am very shocked, I thought with all of the tech that it is supposed to have, 3,000 miles on the tyres which have plenty of tread as the car is only 6 months old and 4 wheel drive, that it would be a rock star on the snow, total opposite.
Has anybody else experienced this? Have you seen all of your systems shut down like this?
