Could not drive in slushy snow, vehicle self cut power in middle of road, there is no way to disable traction control so vehicle can spin to gain forward movement. this situation almost caused head on collision with oncoming vehicle. i had to keep backing up to try to gain forward motion. if i had been able to disable traction control so the vehicle could spin just a little, i would have had no incident. this situation is very unsafe in the snowy conditions. in reading about this, other people have had the same issue. to disable this system people are pulling the fuse on these vehicles to solve this issue. this is very unsafe. ford needs to install an temporary interrupt to solve this very unsafe condition.
The ford transit connect needs a way to turn off the traction control in snow and ice. i got stuck in the snow today and because i can not turn this feature off i could not rock the vehicle out of the snow, creating a traffic jam until i was able to be towed out. please make ford create a way that can allow this system to be turned off. *tr
