I'm glad there are a few people who experienced the problem the original poster was explaining. I live in Michigan, and have a stamped, stained, concrete driveway. It must be sealed with a glaze. There is traction powder to add to the glaze but it is ineffective. If there is snow or ice on it, the traction control must be off to get up it, and into the garage. With it on, you start a process of tire spinning and moving forward that gets the job done, until the traction control shuts off all power. You basically lose all momentum, come to a stop or slip back, it then switches the power back on, and you start going forward again in that mix of traction and spin, and then off again, and you get nowhere.
With traction control off, that spin/traction forward process gains momentum or at least maintains it, enough to get up the drive and in the garage. I've had different vehicles since having this drive. I've had snow tires on some of them and it makes no difference. The Traction Control on or off makes all of the difference.
Humanity sucks. It's amazing how little empathy people have for even trying to understand someone's statements or situation. Lack of empathy leads to things like the holocaust. Go ahead, laugh, but it's true. And boards like these can be helpful, but it's too bad it comes with people who have such shallow egos they need to jump immediately at any chance to know more than you do down your throat. So much so, and so quickly that instead they just show their ignorance.
I'm here because my wife is driving my Silverado while I take her AWD Cadillac in for body work (accident). Hertz passed off a Malibu as a full size car and now the problem is back for a few days. Glad I don't have to rely on this forum, as I don't own the car. Just some advice to think before you show your desperation to feed your egos. Yes, one of your suggestions of snow tires is not the answer but a good idea regardless. Though most use all season, I don't. I know the value of snow tires. But that's not the solution, nor the point here. The point is, most of the replies he got, were rude and off base. Funny how the perpetrators chose only that small part of replies to stand on and say "we dindunuffin". He did get the solution, so it shows that this site can be, and is helpful. Thank you.
