01 /13/18 the very first morning I had it I worked at 6 am about 5 mins into driving 11 degrees! The traction light came on without me pushing the button. Then a eps w/ des lite up?? They both went on by themselves as well. Also the roads were not wet! This continues every morning despite the temperature. Up to current day 01/16/18 we received a dusting less the 1 inch on the ground. I pushed the traction button on despite that me and my 3 children slid into a mail box thankfully slowly! Had to be pulled out due to in not starting up and stuck.. This van is loud and runs behind, kind of stutters..it went through a half tank of gas in 1 day! There is at times but frequent we can smell gas.? Also this van started acting to the point of almost stalling out!
