Traction Lost?
So, I was at a red light today when I wanted to leave the mall and I could turn on red but saw some traffic coming that way ... Me wanting to test out the car, I decided to give it some go and get on out of there.
While going, I couldn't help but notice it seem like the gas cut out for a split second and on the screen it said "Traction Lost" ... any clues why that was? Something to do with the LSD??

Welcome to the world of sucky automatic traction control. Always kicks in and gives you the "dead pedal" at the worse moment. Next time you wanna try a ballsy move out into traffic... drop her down into "L" and the traction control will turn off.

no... you didn't move because your wheels were spinning... if you put it into "L", it would take the traction control off, and they would spin even more... try not flooring it from a start, if you have to move quickly go like halfway down... you will go, but it won't be enough power to spin the tires so much...
these cars have enough umph and not enough grip, so it's super easy to get the tires going.. even in my 2.2 the tires spin, and my girlfriend just yesterday asked "What's that grinding noise, why does it always to that."
