OK, almost killed me is a stretch but hopefully it got someone's attention.
I was driving in a snow storm in South Lake Tahoe yesterday and it was the first time I had to put my Explorer in 4WD. All my vehicles for the last 18 years have all been 4WD, and this has never happened to me. I pulled over to get some gas before I jumped on to Hwy 50 to head back to the Sacramento area. Please tell me why in the hell would Ford think it's OK to automatically reset your traction control to NORMAL DRIVING MODE when you quickly turn your car off and back on??? WTF?!?!?!?! I have NEVER had that with any of past 4WD vehicles. Isn't this a bit risky Ford??? It took a scary moment to realize I was not in 4WD anymore.
Don't get me wrong, I love my Explorer but WTF Ford? Be careful out there!
