Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: 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
