A couple of days ago it was so slippery...
I was at a stop light. My wheels were straight and the road was level. The light went green and I eased onto the throttle. The stability control kicked in for my front left wheel. Front??? It's an RWD car! How does that even happen?
Did I say it was crazy slippery?
I often have stability control kicking in on the front left as I accelerate out of a roundabout if the road is wet or snowy. The first time it happened, I thought I had hit a chunk of ice or something - it's quite noisy. I think it's braking in reaction to a bit of oversteer. It seems to happen way more often coming out of a roundabout than at a normal right turn, so I wonder if going from turning left to turning right while accelerating somehow triggers it more easily.
