The snowy winter has brought to light a somewhat dangerous problem with our 2010 CX-9 sport. (We have 23,000 miles on the 9, with stock wheels and original tires with lots of remaining tread.) When there is an inch or so of new snow on the road, slowing down to make a right turn, the abs engages and the car slides like it is on skates. This seems to happen regardless of how slowly I approach a turn. Once the abs engages, it is like there are no brakes at all. In the snow this evening I missed two right turns this way, even though I had slowed to a crawl.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I'm not sure if the abs is malfunctioning - it feels/sounds like it should be working, if there is something up with the traction/stability control, or if the stock tires are just terrible for stopping in the snow. Stopping is great under all other conditions. Thanks! - Dan
