    Antilock/Traction Control/Electronic Limited Slip

    The triggerring mechanism for the abs seems too delicate. The car starts skidding even in very light snow. This has caused 3 incidents of run-off-road crashes onto the curb with minimal property damage. The car gets out of control very easily in slippery conditions which defeats the purpose of a 4wd vehicle with abs.*ak
