What owners wrote
The vehicle has extremely grabby brakes and I feel that they contributed to the loss of control I experienced on slippery road surfaces. As I attempted to gently slow down by applying the brakes I lost the back end of the vehicle resulting in a loss of control. The road conditions were not favorable, but I have driven may other vehicles in much worse conditions without experiencing this issue. I feel that probability of losing control of the vehicle would have been greatly reduced if the brakes were not grabby.
This is a very commonly reported phenomenon, see the websites listed at the bottom. Reported phenomenon has occurred approximately 10 times within the previous 5000 miles. When entering a turn with no brake applied, most commonly a cloverleaf, the vehicle stability control will engage and apply the brakes in the middle of the turn. No brake lights are displayed so vehicles behind are not aware of the sudden slowing. Environmental conditions were dry, sunny, and the vehicle speed is well within a safe speed.
